Marion G. Romney Being Open to There being "Pre-Adamites"


In his April 1953 General Conference talk, "The Fall of Adam,” Marion G. Romney (1897-1988) disclosed that he was open to “pre-Adamites”:

I am not a scientist. I do not profess to know anything but Jesus Christ, and him crucified, and the principles of his gospel. If, however, there are some things in the strata of the earth indicating there were men before Adam, they were not the ancestors of Adam. (Conference Report, April 1953, p. 123, emphasis added)
