The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) - Are they evolution deniers? I looked it up.

Official LDS Church doctrine[edit]

The LDS Church has no official position on the theory of evolution or the details of "what happened on earth before Adam and Eve, including how their bodies were created." Even so, some general authorities of the LDS Church have made statements suggesting that, in their opinion, evolution is opposed to scriptural teaching. Apostles Joseph Fielding Smith and Bruce R. McConkie were among the most well-known advocates of this position. Other church authorities and members have made statements suggesting that, in their opinion, evolution is not in opposition to scriptural doctrine. Examples of this position include Elders B. H. Roberts, James E. Talmage, and John A. Widtsoe.

While maintaining its "no position" stance, the LDS Church has produced a number of official publications that have included discussion and personal statements from these various church leaders on evolution and the "origin of man." These statements generally adopt the position, as a church-approved encyclopedia entry states, "[t]he scriptures tell why man was created, but they do not tell how, though the Lord has promised that he will tell that when he comes again."

"The scriptures tell why man was created, but they do not tell how, though the Lord has promised that he will tell that when he comes again."

Mormons don't have to wait for the Lord because evolution has something called "evidence", tons of it, and it's growing every day.

"There are many Church members, including scientists who accept evolution as a legitimate scientific theory. In a 2014 U.S. Religious Landscape Study, researchers found that 52% of Mormons believe that humans always existed in their present form while 42% believe that humans evolved over time."

42% of Mormons understand how the world works.

An interesting thing I noticed about the Latter-day Saints people, they are very wealthy. That's a good thing. They must be doing something right despite being completely wrong about reality.
