I've also got a question - one that may also have already been answered here. What is the LDS' position on the theory of evolution?

Let me give you a starting point on research:

The official Church position is actually relatively neutral. Leaders have spoken against it, but a few have also showed some openness to the idea. More recently they simply say it is not of particular theological concern (a pretty safe statement). You will find that most members do not believe in it and hold that it is against Church doctrine. I hold a somewhat ambiguous view, understanding that it is not actually Church doctrine not to believe it, understanding that there are issues that may seem irreconcilable, but believing that all things truly are compatible in the end. That probably didn't make much sense. Let me put it this way: I do believe Adam and Eve were the first man and woman God created. Were they a product of evolution, or were they made "from scratch" with similar traits to existing creatures? I'm not certain, and I don't feel it's terribly important. If I'm answering a test in Biology 101, I don't feel any guilt providing answers that support the evolution of man. But when I'm teaching Sunday school (which I do, to the majority of the adults in my congregation, incidentally), I teach that Adam was the first man with no dissonance. Make sense?
