In 1930, President Heber J. Grant announced that the church was neutral in regards to evolution. Church members have been arguing ever since that statement as to what the Church really feels about evolution. In my discussions, I have come to conclude that many members reject evolution because they think that the Church rejects evolution. I propose that this conclusion is wrong. I don’t want to try to guess what church leaders really believe, Yet… I would like to venture a conclusion about what the Church organization believes.

I received an email from the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum on BYU Campus. The subject was "Celebrating 50 Years of Evolution at BYU". BYU has taught evolutionary biology for 50 years now, meaning it has spent millions of dollars on the program. It has taught evolution to more than 7500 undergraduates. It has accepted $25 million in outside funding. This is a significant investment. If church leadership did not believe in evolution but has still allowed it to be taught at BYU, it would truly be a rather devious deception. The Creation story you believe even affects your perception of God. A creation that took either six days or four billion years describe two completely different Gods.
