Hello my friends welcome to follow him favorites. John and I are sharing a single story to go with each week's lesson.

John we're in Alma 30 and 31 the stories stories of Corohor and the Zoramites.

The anti-Christs of the Book of Mormon.

You've told me you have a story for this section,

so we're gonna turn it over to you.

I really love how Alma switches things up on Corhor and says what's your evidence that there is no God? Show me your evidence.

And then he says I have my own testimony, the testimony

my brethren, the testimony the prophets, the testimony the scriptures. And then there's this

line in A. 3044. All things denote there is a God the earth all things

that are upon the face of it and its motion and also all the planets which move in

their regular form do witness that there is a supreme creator.

And Hank, a long time ago, my parents gave me a book.

I was 13, and it was called Goals.

And there's a little story in there, which had a big impact on me about looking up at those

stars. This is the story. One well-remembered day several years ago I stood

knee-deep in the Virgin River and looked up in awe at the thousand foot rock cliffs of

Zion's Park on either side. The Park Service brochure said the rocks were more than

200 million years old. I compared my age to the age of the rocks and felt very young and

very unimportant. It got dark early in the narrow canyon by late afternoon I

could see stars in the narrow slice of sky above.

I recalled reading that scientists had discovered

7 times 10 to the 13th power stars.
