Today we are joined by Tarik LaCour. In this conversation with Tarik, we discuss Evolution. Some view evolution as incompatible with the gospel, we disagree. President Nelson has taught, \\u201cThere is no conflict between science and religion,\\u201d he said. \\u201cConflict only arises from an incomplete knowledge of either science or religion, or both. \\u2026 Whether truth comes from a scientific laboratory or by revelation from the Lord, it is compatible.\\u201d I (your host Ryan) don't know how to fit evolution and gospel teachings relating to Adam and the garden together but I have faith that eventually, whether through increased understanding through the Lord's prophets or through increased breakthroughs in science things will eventually make sense. In this interview Tarik shares where some of the anti-evolution rhetoric has come from, shares some examples of prominent church leaders who believed in evolution, and talks about what scriptural fundamentalism is.
