Brigham Young on seeds bring brought from other planets
They [the
Gods] came here, organized the raw material, and arranged in their order the
herbs of the field, the trees, the apple, the peach, the plum, the pear, and
every other fruit that is desirable and good for man; the seed was brought from
another sphere, and planted in this earth. (JOD 1:50|April 9, 1852)
He [Adam]
was the person who brought the animals and the seeds from other planets to this
world. (JOD 3:319|April 20, 1856)
Shall I
say that the seeds of vegetables were planted here by the Characters that
framed and built this world—that the seeds of every plant composing the
vegetable kingdom were brought from another world? This would be news to many
of you. Who brought them here? It matters little to us whether it was John,
James, William, Adam, or Bartholomew who brought them; but it was some Being
who had power to frame this earth with its seas, valleys, mountains, and
rivers, and cause it o teem with vegetable and animal life. (JOD 7:285|October
9, 1859)
Heber C. Kimball on Animals
being brought from other planets
After the
earth was made, then there was a garden spot selected, and the Lord commanded
some of his associates to go and plant it, and to cause all kinds of vegetation
to grow, and fruits of every description. Some suppose the Lord commanded all
these things to come out of the earth. Yes, he did, after the seeds were put in
the earth; and he blessed the earth, and the vegetation that was in the earth.
When all these things were done, the garden was beautified, and made pure, and
clean and holy and sanctified; and then the next thing was to bring forth the
animal creation; but the animals were not brought there until the vegetation
was planted and grown. . . . When he [Adam] planted the garden, he planted it
with seeds he brought with him; and he also brought the animals from the earth
he lived upon, where his Father dwelt. (JOD 8:243-44|June 12, 1860
