Crawling Out of the Primordial Soup: A Step toward the Emergence of an LDS Theology Compatible with Organic Evolution

Abstract

There are deep and unavoidable theological implications for incorporating into theology the belief that natural selection structured the way life evolved on the planet. Peck intends to rough out some of the potential problems and perplexities that will need to be sorted through in embracing a fully compatible perspective between evolution through natural selection and faith. In this conspectus, he hopes to gesture to possible solutions to the perplexities that merging evolution and theology may bring to LDS thought.
