The Book of Mormon testifies (through the teachings of the prophet Jacob) that God created the earth and the life upon it by the power of His word.
“…By the power of his word man came upon the face of the earth, which earth was created by the power of his word.” (Jacob 4:9)
Questions:
-How many see the earth and the life on it as a creation of God?
-Does the fact that it is a fallen creation (including the people of the earth) cause some to feel that God is distant or doesn’t exist?
