You just keep on convincing yourself of that and ignor the fact...and you will remain progressively ignorant...polly want a cracker....
Hmm I wonder how many Bishops believe that. Also Relief Society is quite different depending on the Ward as well.
I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you asking how many bishops believe in preaching official church doctrine? If someone is found preaching false church doctrine, they are taken to church court and disciplined and if necessary, excommunicated.
the percentage is irrelevant to me. I think all it does is illustrate the difference between a body controlled by a spirit child of God with the gift of agency and supreme intelligence, compared to bodies of apes with spirits of apes, not given the gift, and I emphasize the word gift, of agency and the one physical gift we have that other animals don't have, the supremely dexterous human hand. It also illustrates God's workmanship.Despite the fact that we share 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees?
What is it that is so unique about humans that you don't believe that we evolved like every other creature on Earth? Is it our bodies, or our spirits?

As I mentioned earlier, agency, intelligence and dexterity of hand are the main difference. Not just any difference though. It's a quantum leap in all three areas. The quantum leap alone shows that the evolution theory is illogical in my opinion. Evolution in theory is supposed to be, at least from my understanding a very slow process of change over time. My simpleton mind would have me reason that if that was so, humans wouldn't be the only ones with this level of intelligence after millions of years of evolution. surely there would be other ape species that were more advanced mentally than they were millions of years ago but they simply haven't evolved any more intelligently since then.
More simply put. We should have many species of apes and other animals sitting next to us in our cubicles by now.
That's why evolution doesn't make sense to me.

That quantum leap didn't happen all at once. First, there were hominids that walked upright. That led to the forelegs being adapted to carrying things and manipulating things, as they were no longer used for walking. Meanwhile, the head, no longer held at an angle, could be heavier and still supported by the neck. Then, there were several species of the genus homo. Just why they all died out is not known, but it does appear that homo sapiens was more adaptable, and so survived, just as other adaptable species have survived and continue to do so. Once the body and brain were sufficiently evolved, then the human spirit was ready to inhabit the body. Spirits don't evolve, but bodies do, including ours.

Well this theory is too much of a whopper for me to believe. Just as many may say the miracles we believe in our religion are too much of a whopper for them to believe. Anything is possible with God and if God did choose to evolve our bodies over millions of years then so be it. But I believe the Bible with regard to the matter as God "placed" man here, not evolved him over time.
The evolution of our bodies still has too many holes in the story for me to believe. I believe all adaptations over time are caused by God, not by the bodies themselves. I believe God's timing is used in causing adaptations but I don't think bodies adapt themselves without his direction.

skeptik, you are assigning the "evangelical" POV to an entire series of groups, many who would chide for so doing. This would be similar to assigning Cleon Skousen's nonsense to all of Mormonism.
Think through what you say before you broad brush, something you resent done to Mormonism.

OK, point taken. What do we call those fundamentalist churches that continue to claim that 150 years of science has to be mistaken because of their interpretation of ancient writings?
Other than simply wrong, of course.

I also think it is fascinating how quickly evolution can happen sometimes, like how a caterpillar evolves into a butterfly so quickly. Or Tadpoles into Frogs, or larvae into mosquitoes. Just food for thought.

Im fairly confident that what you are describing isn't evolution.
Mormons are nothing more than another Christian sect who believe they follow Christ.... It's not really that complicated.... The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.... They just happen to have a different prophet who provides an early South and North American history which is very interesting to say the least.... Don't knock it until you have read it.... I would not have a problem with the Mormon religion if they did not practice the Catholic sunday sabbath which ties them and their prophet Joe Smith in with the corrupted modern day protestant movement negating the teachings of Christ, believe circumcision is null, or that the real name of the Christ is Jesus instead of Yahshua....
