Evolution and the Nature of God (2014)

The Origin and the Source of Life Earth—its mineral, vegetable and animal wealth—its Paradise, prepared, down comes from yonder world on high, a son of God, with his beloved spouse. And thus a colony from heaven is . . . transplanted on our soil. The blessings of their Father are upon them, and the first great law of heaven and earth is again repeated, “Be fruitful and multiply.” When, lo! from yonder world is transferred every species of animal life. Male and female, they come, with blessings on their heads; and a voice is heard again, “Be fruitful and multiply.” And thus a colony from heaven is transplanted on our soil. Parley P.
