Cosmos, Earth, and Man (Science and Mormonism 1)

Cosmos, Earth, and Man (Science and Mormonism 1)

Science and Mormonism have nearly always been on very friendly terms, with Church members sharing the deep conviction that, as expressed by former scientist and apostle Elder James E. Talmage, âwithin the gospel of Jesus Christ there is room and place for every truth thus far learned by man, or yet to be made known.â Subsequent Presidents and General Authorities of the Church have advanced similar views about the ultimate compatibility of religious and scientific truths and, with notably few exceptions, have maintained markedly positive attitudes toward both the methods and conclusions of mainstream science and the advance of modern technology. This book features the personal perspectives of prominent LDS scientists addressing the theme of "Cosmos, Earth, and Man." Many of these were drawn from the first Interpreter Symposium on Science and Mormonism, held in Provo, Utah on 9 November 2013. In the pages of this book, readers will appreciate the concise and colorful summaries of the state-of-the-art in scientific research relating to these topics and will gain a deeper appreciation of the unique contributions of LDS doctrine to the ongoing conversation.
