First allow me to state that I do believe the LDS Church is true. I believe the truth of this Church is found in the truth, love, and fellowship of its members. I pray God will continue to bless this Church, and I pray for the leadership to receive clarity as to what God expects from them with respect to Mr. Steven Jones’ scientific opinion. Second, I’d like for you to think about how frightening it is for us new members to believe that when we become a member of the LDS Church that we are not allowed to use our God given talents of discernment to have an “OPINION” other than the official one? That is just down right frightening.

I believe the issue is Mr. Jones is using his "God given talent" while being a representative of BYU. Even posting his "talents" on BYU's academic website. If he did all this outside of his academic arena I doubt any action would be taken.

Whatever his comments and theories, how does this fit in with his academic job? The bigger issue is that he is not spending his time doing the work he was hired to do.

Watch Zeitgeist and figure out the Mormon scam people. Joseph Smith was a 32nd degree Mason. Religion is a means of controlling the people and robbing from them. It's another form of government control and taxation. Open your minds people and think for yourselves. The Mormon church is a ridiculous fraud.
