As
a devout Latter-day Saint the important fact for me is that the Lord is
directing the affairs in His Universe, not exactly how He does it. Whether or
not some organic evolution was used or is operating seems to me to be beside
the point. He is infinitely wise. I just work here. If He told me in detail how
He works I’m sure I wouldn’t understand much of it. The effort spent on the
crusade you envision would be better spent trying to understand a little better
how God works. Sorry if we see things a little differently. (Letter of March 4,
