What the hell is this science doing here?

Tommy Monson said that if you have thoughts of "so-called science", then put them out of your head with this verse:

"Should doubt knock at your doorway, just say to those skeptical, disturbing, rebellious thoughts: 'I propose to stay with my faith, with the faith of my people. I know that happiness and contentment are there, and I forbid you, agnostic, doubting thoughts, to destroy the house of my faith. I acknowledge that I do not understand the processes of creation, but I accept the fact of it. I grant that I cannot explain the miracles of the Bible, and I do not attempt to do so, but I accept God’s word. I wasn’t with Joseph, but I believe him. My faith did not come to me through science, and I will not permit so-called science to destroy it.' "

Great quote from Monson. Thanks for posting this.

Anyone doubting that the LDS Chucrh is basically anti-science should read this very carefully. It is the published word of the Prophet of God upon the Earth.

It should continue as follows: "because I am a maudlin passive marshmellow headed follower type with no self esteem. I will do what I am told and believe what I am told. *sniff*"
when believers want to give their claims more weight, they dress these claims up in scientific terms. When believers want to belittle atheism or secular humanism, they call it a "religion". -Beastie

Please don't cricitize the Prophet of God upon the Earth!

First Presidency Message
titled 'Come unto Him in Prayer and Faith'
(in Ensign Mar. 2009)
President Thomas S. Monson
wrote:
Faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time

This is an eternal truth, and no damned anti-mormon detractor can refute it.
Because faith and doubt are antonyms of each other. QED.
