Thought it would be funny to continue the “if you talk to a BYU professor…” theme:
If you talk to a BYU Marriage and Family professor, they will say that, yes, Smith was a polygamist, but everything else about the church is true.Just This Guy wrote:I think someone from the old board said this, but I could be wrong.“Hagoth” wrote: The BYU biology department teaches that evolution is true. That blows the Biblical Creation/Eden story out of the water and requires that it is purely symbolic. If The Fall is symbolic, does that mean Jesus' redemption from The Fall is also merely symbolic?
If you talk to a BYU Biology professor, they will say that, yes, evolution is fact, but everything else about the church is true.
If you talk to a BYU Egyptology professor, they will say that, no, the BOA is not a direct translation, but everything else about the church is true.
If you talk to a BYU Paleontology professor, they will say that, yes, dinosaurs existed millions of years ago, but everything else about the church is true.
If you talk to a BYU Meso-American Studies professor, they will say that, no, the BOM is not a literal history of the Native Americans, but everything else about the church is true.
And on and on...
Each person will recognize the facts in their field will prove one part of the church's story is wrong, but will compartmentalize and ignore everything else. But when you look at everything together, it is clear that every aspect of the church is dis-proven by modern science.
If you talk to a BYU Accounting professor, they will say that, paying 10% of your income won’t make you wealthy, but everything else about the church is true.
If you talk to a BYU African American Studies Professor, they will say that…. Wait… uh, you’ll have to talk to a University of Utah professor and they will say that, nothing about the church is true!
