The purpose of my post was (in addition to what I shared in the comments above) to demonstrate poor journalism on the part of Riess,Givens, and LDS Living (the LDS Living article has apparently been taken down).Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15005633941857132068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354575638172731761.post-63024289450412767782022-10-13T10:36:37.038-07:002022-10-13T10:36:37.038-07:00I'm not arguing for or against Adam/God.
