Now that I have the foundational scientific writings for this blog posted, I should also post some foundational religious writings too. This is my testimony of God (in general) and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (in particular). Much can and will be said on this topic, but I will keep it brief today.
I do not believe that religion, even true religion, is created ex nihilo. Instead, God organizes His church mostly out of pre-existing institutions and beliefs, which are then built on and sanctified.
What should my first blog post be? I am sufficiently confident in this argument that I have presented it over the pulpit at church. And I think it also captures my personal peculiarities well.
