Calling BCSpace-- I have a conundrum!
Paul Ray on the MAD board says that God has revealed to him that evolution is false. He knows for sure and didn't need to use reasoning!
How can this be?
Is this the kind of personal revelation that inspired scriptures and doctrinal statements from prophets? Aren't prophets just guys like him who get into a certain position of power or shout from city walls?

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

Ask Hammer. He had this to say:
Hammer wrote:I had an experience the other day during or shortly after conference. I had opening of my mind that showed me how to do EVERYTHING. It was the purest intelligence I have ever experienced. I am not what some would consider intelligent, but after that experience, I can safely say that if the Lord is the vine and I am a connected branch-- I am extremely intelligent.

No. The Church is already established on the earth. Therefore, he can't proclaim as doctrine that which the Church doesn't already teach.

But the Church taught the evolution was false. And FP statement at that. Or is that outside your unique definition of doctrine?

There is no such statement. We've been through the 1909 already. Do you have another you think will work?
