#science #genesis #scienceandreligion #lds #genesis #adamandeve #evolution #mormon #bible #moses In this episode I bring back scholar and historian Ben Spackman to talk about reconciling science and scripture. We recap the history of the church’s position on science and scripture from the early 20th century, to the late 20th century and the church’s current view. We discuss whether the creation accounts were intended as scientific history, are there two different creation accounts, were they responding to to Babylonian creation myths? How do we reconcile a historical Adam and Eve, the garden and fall with evolution?
