This site contains thoughts developed over my lifetime as I have studied to earn a Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford University while still maintaining my deep faith in the teachings of the LDS (Mormon) Church.

He has written a very interesting paper titled “Abraham’s Vision of the Creation.” You can find it online here (divided into various sub-sections - simply click on the links in the left-hand side) and there is a link on the same page for download (as a Microsoft Word document).
