    by R. Clayton Brough and Rodney D. Griffin

    Scientific Support for Scriptural Stories is an attempt to establish the philosophical position that practicing religious scientists can make statements that reconcile apparent conflicts between science and religion. Religious and scientific arguments about what constitutes truth have persisted for hundreds of years. These arguments and their extreme positions have often caused more confusion and conflict than understanding and agreement. Fortunately, many Latter-day Saint scientists believe that both revelations and science are sources of truth, and that any apparent discrepancies between the two will eventually be worked out when all is known or revealed. Today, scientists and theologians still debate such issues as the age of the earth, the creation and development of life, and the relationship between prehistoric and modern life forms. These and other issues sometimes make it seem like there is no possible reconciliation between science and religion. However, the compilation of statements in this book will help the reader come to a better understanding of the common ground that exists between science and religion on these and other topics. Reading Scientific Support for Scriptural Stories will give the reader a much better understanding of scientists, science, and the gospel of Jesus Christ, and it will open their understanding to many new concepts and recent scientific discoveries. This is a unique book that fills a significant need. Its perspectives and evidences will strengthen the faith of many, as it helps them grow in knowledge of eternal truths.
