Science and Scriptures

Science and Scriptures discusses the overlap of our physical world of science and the spiritual world of the scriptures. With stories, histories, and interviews, we'll discuss how findings in science provide new understandings of the universe and of the Gospel. It is exciting to realize how these two worlds interface - whether you are talking about the Creation, the reasons for our mortal probation, rules of Earth life that God must enforce, or the role of COVID-19 and other dangers. Join us for discussions and interviews to better understand the larger questions of life! It’s a wonderfully complex world. Science and scriptures are provided to help us figure it all out.

    You Will be Judged for Running that Red Light – In this Life or the Next

    We members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints often think we know what to expect in the Final Judgment. Each Sunday, we review commandments and why we should obey them. However, if we never link a behavior with a commandment that forbids it, we generally believe the behavior should be okay, shouldn’t it? Actually, there are many ways that conclusion is wrong. We do many little things that, with some thought, are pretty awful. Let me give you an example of such a behavior – running red lights. Let’s follow a fictional man named… Brother Hurry. Brother Hurry drives through red lights regularly. Really, he thinks, what’s the worst that could happen? The worst thing that could happen is that one of the times Brother Hurry runs a red light, a minivan with a young mother and her three young children are approaching the same intersection as Brother Hurry from the crossing street. Exhausted from a long day of family activities, the young mom is grateful that the stoplight she is approaching turns green just before she enters the intersection. Without needing to brake, she continues into the intersection – and her minivan is T-boned by Brother Hurry’s speeding F-350 pickup truck. Brother Hurry was willing to endanger the lives of innocent strangers, just so he could take a minute or two off his commute. With that attitude, do you think that Brother Hurry should be allowed into the celestial kingdom?
