Bio 130 Exam 3 Flashcards
In these respects we dier from the
Christian world, for our religion will not
clash with or contradict the facts of
science in any particular. You may take
geology, for instance, and it is true
science. . . . To assert that the Lord
made this earth out of nothing is
preposterous and impossible.
Brigham Young
In that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things–Things which
