From the Author...
As a young man, I had two favorite subjects,
science and religion. In my study, it became my conviction that
ultimately science and religion will become one and the same, science
being the study of God's creation; and religion consisting of the
revelations of God to mankind.
Both are ultimately manifestations of the truth of all things given to
man
by God in His infinite kindness and love to bring about the happiness
of
His children.
It is from the Book of Mormon, an ancient text of
scripture
written by ancient American prophets of God that I gained the desire to
obtain
the object of both true religion and true science: the search for the
truth
of all things. The ancient American prophet of the Book of Mormon
concluded
this book of scripture with a perfect scientific test anyone can
perform
on that book to know it is of God. Moroni wrote 421 A.D.:
"Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if
it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember
how
merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things,
and
ponder it in your hearts.
"And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye
would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these
things are
not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent,
having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by
the power
of the Holy Ghost.
"And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all
things."
It is by application of this scientific test to that book of ancient
American scripture that I came to a knowledge that it is of God,
because
God did answer my prayer and let me know by the power of the Holy Ghost
of its truthfulness. Millions of Latter-day Saints have performed this
same test and received the same answer of the divinity of this book.
Therefore,
it could be said that Mormonism is a scientific religion.
The acquisition of this one
precious truth has given me the impulse to discover the ultimate:
the truth of all things. And my search has not been in vain. In
fact, my search is a much more efficient one because my hits in the
dark are much more infrequent when I have the power of the Holy
Spirit of God to lighten the
way
to the next truth. Thus my search has been an exciting one and I hope
some
of the things I have uncovered concerning this earth of ours will be as
exciting
to you as it has been to me.
