evolution
Though the church has no official doctrine surrounding evolution, there have been many claims by church leaders. "If evolution is true, the church is false" claims Joseph Fielding Smith, and even Russell M Nelson said "to think that man evolved from one species to another is, to me, incomprehensible. Man has always been man. Dogs have always been dogs. Monkeys have always been monkeys. It's just the way genetics works." Bruce R McKonkie stated that "evolution was a false and devilish heresy among church members".
Profiles with evolution on their "shelf":
elneneI was a mormon. Enjoy traveling, beach sports.
ByrdI'm transmasculine, genderqueer, generally queer, and a refugee of Trump's America. I was a mormon.
pdbrandtI grew up in a devout LDS family, served a mission, and spent 45 years as a believing member of the church. When my search for truth caused a faith crisis, my conscience demanded that I leave the church. Though the process was difficult and painful, I have found peace and fullfillment as an ex-mormon that I never had while in the church.
