|
What is the relationship between the Gospel of Jesus Christ and knowledge?
“In knowledge there is power. God has more power than all other beings, because He has greater knowledge; and hence He knows how to subject all other beings to Him.” “A man is saved no faster than he gets knowledge, for if he does not get knowledge, he will be brought into captivity by some evil power in the other world. … Hence it needs revelation to assist us, and give us knowledge of the things of God.” |

|
What did Joseph Smith say regarding our acceptance of truth?
“Mormonism is truth; and every man who embraces it feels himself at liberty to embrace every truth: consequently the shackles of superstition, bigotry, ignorance, and priestcraft, fall at once from his neck; and his eyes are opened to see the truth, and truth greatly prevails over priestcraft. … The first and fundamental principle of our holy religion is, that we believe that we have a right to embrace all, and every item of truth.” |

|
What was th 1st Pres. Statement on science?
“Our religion is not hostile to real science. That which is demonstrated, we accept with joy; but vain philosophy, human theory and mere speculations of men (i.e., untested or unsupported hypotheses), we do not accept nor do we adopt anything contrary to divine revelation or to common good sense. But everything that tends to right conduct, that harmonizes with sound morality and increases the faith in Deity, finds favor with us no matter where it may be found.” |

What are three things we must remember when searching for truth?
|
What are three things we must remember when searching for truth?
We should avail ourselves of truth from any source: “Every accomplishment, every polished grace, every useful attainment in mathematics, music, and in all science and art belongs to the Saints, and they should avail themselves as expeditiously as possible of the wealth of knowledge the sciences offer to every diligent and persevering scholar.” –Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 10:224 2. Answer the right questions with the right tools: “Leave Geology, Biology, Archaeology and Anthropology, no one of which has to do with the salvation of the souls of mankind, to scientific research, while we magnify our calling in the realm of the Church.” –1931 First Presidency Declaration. 3. Ensure that our interpretations are correct: “The opening chapters of Genesis, and scriptures related thereto, were never intended as a text-book of geology, archaeology, earth-science or man-science. Holy Scripture will endure, while the conceptions of men change with new discoveries. We do not show reverence for the scriptures when we misapply them through faulty interpretation.” –“The Earth and Man”, James E. Talmage, 1931. |

For many people their is an apparent division between science and religion. Why? (3 reasons)
TRADITION. This has its roots in the Middle Ages and in our own lives. 2. IGNORANCE, CONFUSION, & LACK OF COMMUNICATION. Effort, Time, & Commitment are required to discover religious truth. Effort, Time, & Commitment are required to discover scientific truth. It’s difficult to find the effort, time, & commitment to become proficient in both. The maze of misinformation is not easy to traverse. The issues are often emotionally charged. 3. MISUSE OF AUTHORITY. In today’s society, there are few that are adept at identifying and distinguishing between scientific truth, religious truth, and opinion. Some religious and scientific leaders have done nearly-irreparable damage by—either unintentionally or willfully—passing off their opinions as scientific or religious truth. |

I say unto you, he hath seen him; nevertheless, he who came unto his own was not comprehended. The light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not; nevertheless, the day shall come when you shall comprehend even God, being quickened in him and by him. Then shall ye know that ye have seen me, that I am, and that I am the true light that is in you, and that you are in me; otherwise ye could not abound |
