Volunteers: Hilton Campbell, Ben Crowder, Meridith Crowder, Eric Heaps, Tod Robbins, Dave Van Leeuwen "Joseph Smith as Scientist: A Contribution to Mormon Philosophy" by John A. Widtsoe is a scholarly work written in the early 20th century. This text explores the intersections between science and the religious beliefs of Mormonism, particularly from the perspective of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The overarching theme is the assertion that scientific principles and religious doctrine are not mutually exclusive, but rather compatible and that Joseph Smith’s teachings anticipated modern scientific ideas. The opening of this work establishes the context for the discussions to follow, emphasizing that many educated individuals struggle to reconcile faith and scientific understanding. Widtsoe introduces the idea that Mormonism views all knowledge as part of a holistic theology that encompasses both spiritual and natural laws. The author outlines his goals for the text, asserting that the principles of Mormonism align with established scientific concepts, such as the indestructibility of matter and energy. This preface sets the stage for a detailed exploration of these relationships in the subsequent chapters, which will examine various scientific laws through the lens of Mormon philosophy.
