I'm new to this forum, but certainly not new to the church.. I've been thinking about these issues a long time. I believe in evolution (this is a point of view I've come to after much study over the past several years). I also believe in a literal Adam and Eve, Fall, introduction of death.. I wrote an article on my personal blog a few months back to show how I've come to reconcile these ideas (somewhat). http://wheelercreek.com/blog/mormonism-adam-and-eve-and-human-evolution I welcome your thoughts.
