BKP on the Priesthood Ban

Just trust us. It's both wrong and offensive.

OK, I will trust you. I hope you will trust me that claiming we are descendents of monkeys is also wrong and offensive.

We'll need a revelation, which can be hard to come by these days.

Actually, anonymously written webpages seem to be just as effective on doctrine these days.

Yes, the old way required everyone to go out and buy new scriptures. That is so 20th century. The mormonnewsroom.org FAQ is the final word on the church doctrine these days.

I agree with that statement being wrong and offensive. There is zero scientific evidence that humans evolved from monkeys.

Yes, that evidence comes from the correct translation of the Bible... Some "Elohim" aliens mixed their DNA with the monkeys' DNA:

1.- The Origin of Man


Mauro Biglino has found that in the original Hebrew text of the Bible, in the Book of Genesis, it is written that a group of individuals - called the Elohim – made man with a genetic engineering intervention, by mixing their own DNA with the DNA of primates already present on the Earth.


In the Bible there is even a specific word that refers to the DNA, and this Hebrew word is tselem. Mr. Biglino has found that the correct translation of the famous verses of Genesis (1:26) is:


"And the Elohim (plural) said: "Let us make man in our likeness, using that thing that contains our image".

I disagree. I think there is a lot of "scientific" evidence. Probably about as much "scientific" evidence as there was when the scientists were worried about "global cooling" in the seventies.

lol.

Let me try to help you out here. No scientist ever claimed we descended from monkeys. Monkeys and humans descended from a common ancestor.

Also there was no consensus on global cooling in the seventies. That is a myth.

Good post.

Are speaking about ancient man descending from some common primate ancestor, and thus playing the "monkey" game? Sometimes humor attempts escape me. 71, I believe that is the reason for the eye roll

I am glad the humor escaped you as in this case there was no attempt at humor.

I would like to know the justification "enlightened" people have for dissing a person who believes God put Adam and Eve on the earth and they begat us all and yet at the same time are appalled that someone might claim a certain group descended from Cain.

I myself would not hold it against anyone if they were a descendent of someone. To me the bigots are those who think who you descended from matters.

Who is that common ancestor and where is he today?





I am telling you this "Elohim" aliens thing is the missing link.

Lemurs and Lorises?? Old World Monkeys and Lesser Apes?? I am told that and I am not to be offended??

[SoCalCoug]

I guess I should be outraged at the enlightened crowd for claiming I am the descendent of a monkey. Personally I would rather be a descendent of Cain than monkeys.

To be accurate, you are not descended from a monkey. You share a common ancestor with a monkey.

Of course, if you go back far enough, you also share a common ancestor with an amoeba. So there's that.

I can't help but imagine that common ancestor years and years ago talking over the fence with a neighbor: "My first boy, what an idiot! He's never going to amount to much. But little Johnny, that kid's smart as a whip...that kid's going places for sure!"
