LDS Men Aren't Incredible

Wheat & Tares ran a fun post earlier this week titled LDS Men Are Incredible ... although the URL string shows that the original draft title of the post was "Why Men Suck." That kind of marks off the two ends of the spectrum, doesn't it? That's a nice lead-in for the question: What remarks are going to be directed at LDS men in next week's General Conference?

Creationism and LDS Seminary

It's late September and LDS high school students really should be back at school ... and back at seminary. This year's course of study is the Old Testament, which covers (or has already covered) Genesis 1 and the Creation. I hope LDS seminary teachers can teach Creation without teaching Creationism. But I fear some LDS teachers won't or can't make that distinction, so it is likely some LDS seminary students are going to go home this week thinking Creationism is the LDS view about Creation. That is very sad and sets up LDS kids to have a bad experience when they inevitably take high school or university science courses.
