what is the debate with evolution, and how do dinosaurs fit into the equation?
I've heard a lot of theories, but I think that the one thing to remember is that the story of Adam and Eve, especially as addressed in the temple, is highly symbolic. How much is symbolic and how much is literal, I don't know.

I don't think there are two "competing," mutually exclusive theories - evolution and creation - I think there are two ways of looking at or understanding the origin of the earth - scientifically and spiritually. I don't thing the Lord expects us, in teaching us of the creation, to understand the Ph.D level of what happened. I think we've been given the Kindergarten level.
