  1. I kind of side more on the scriptures, and not really Moses or Genesis, but 2 Nephi 2, where it teaches that there was no death until the fall, and no children until after the fall. To me that means evolution at the soonest until after the fall.

    I think this is a key point. The world, as described in Genesis 1 & 2 was a creation without death. The earth at that time was not a mortal earth. Death came into the world after Adam & Eve partook of the fruit (Fall of Adam), and this is the place in the time line of the earth that evolution could have been used by God to create the mortal earth. I have an essay that explains this in more detail. Keep in mind that this essay is not presented as doctrine. It is just my attempt to reconcile the Fall of Adam with science. It may be true or it may not be true. It does make sense to me, though.

  2. if you are mormon and you go to church you should look at the hyme if you could high to kolob it answers many questions. read over it nd talk to your bishop or stake president questions will be answerd

    That's one of my favorite hymns! It really expresses my feelings about the Celestial Kingdom!

  3. Baptism into the LDS church is required for entrance into the Celestial Kingdom. People who were Evangelicals in mortality but who accepted their proxy baptism are no longer Evangelicals, they are LDS. Thus, by definition only LDS will be in the Celestial Kingdom, including many who were Evangelicals during their mortal life. The statement as given referred to Evangelicals being in the Celestial Kingdom, implying they had gotten to the Celestial Kingdom without baptism.
