I am LDS and I am a life scientist with a specialty in behavioral evolution. If you look at my blog (Mormon Insights), it will be quickly clear I am a big Darwinian. Even so, I realize a testimony of the Church is FAR more important than one's scientific beliefs. I know many LDS evolutionists. They are strong in the Church. I suppose we are in the minority. Yet, I think my Church background makes me a stronger scientist than I otherwise could be. I don't think we ever need fear the "scriptures" in the rocks -- fossils. We need never fear the truth we find in science. God speaks to us in a variety of ways. I have generally found that nature does not lie. Best wishes in your pursuits. Excellent post.

I don’t think we ever need fear the “scriptures” in the rocks — fossils. We need never fear the truth we find in science. God speaks to us in a variety of ways. I have generally found that nature does not lie.

Best wishes in your pursuits.
