"Two major problems contribute to the perceived rift between evolution and some commonly held LDS beliefs: (1) If evolution is an entirely random process, as many evolutionary biologists say, how then can there be order in the universe? How could God have been in control of the process if the outcome was unpredictable? How could we have been created in God's image as the result of a random evolutionary process? (2) If Adam and Eve came into being as the result of a random evolutionary process, how then could they have been immortal? If they were not immortal, how do we explain the Fall? If there was no Fall, what was the mission of Jesus? If there was no Fall and Atonement, is there then no Christianity?
"In this book [the authors] hope to discuss these and other questions in a way that will benefit students and other members of the church." -
