Science


Elder Richard G Scott, How to Obtain Revelation and Inspiration for Your Personal Life, General Conference April 2012
When I am faced with a very difficult matter, this is how I try to understand what to do. I fast. I pray to find and understand scriptures that will be helpful. That process is cyclical.”




Dallin H. Oaks, "The Lord's Way", P50, Last partial paragraph 

"The source of the ancient conflict between (1) reason or intellect and (2) faith or revelation is the professor's rejection of revelation, not the prophet's rejection of reason."

Malachi 3:10

Alma 32: 27, 33, 36  


27 But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than adesire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words. • • •  33 And now, behold, because ye have tried the experiment, and planted the seed, and it swelleth and sprouteth, and beginneth to grow, ye must needs know that the seed is good. • • •  36 Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither must ye lay aside your faith, for ye have only exercised your faith to plant the seed that ye might try the experiment to know if the seed was good.



Doctrine and Covenants 93:24

24And atruth is bknowledge of things as they are, and as they were, and as they are to come;
