How well-known is this? If I say something about "reorganizing matter" to my TBM brother, can he plausibly deny knowledge of it, or that it's a thing in Mormonism?
What exactly are you referring to? Jesus creating the earth from unorganized matter? That's part of the endowment and can't be denied. The earth being made from remnants of other planets? That's just an apologetic argument to say the earth both is and isn't 6,000 years old.
WTF is it with 17mm wrenches. I always seem to need two of them for working on my japanese car front end. And I can never find one of them. Maybe I should pray about it.
Jehovah, Michael see. Yonder is matter unorganized. Go ye therefore down and organize it into a world as we have here to for done. Call your labors the first day. Then return and bring me word.
So funny to think the reorganizing matter was so wonderful the first time I heard it in the temple. But really, reorganizing matter is like baking a cake whether you use eggs and flour, or . . .
50 billion tons of dirt, 100 trillion gallons of water, 5 billion sacks of salt and rocks according to your own taste. Mix well and roll into a ball. Ball is done when water separates from dirt. Sprinkle with plant spores and dinosaur bones and let harden. Decorate with animals and people. If the people don't do well, immerse the ball in water and re-sprinkle with fresh people.
See! Yonder is matter unorganized! Go ye down, blah-blah, blah-blah, blah-blah. "Reorganizing matter" sounds too templish. Reorganizing matter always eventually led me to agree to have my throat slit and my heart cut from my chest, things like that.
C'mon we all know the mice ordered Earth from Magrathea. It's really a giant super computer. If you remember Slartibartfast won an award for Norway and the fjords.
Well it's as good an explanation as making up a planet from bits of other planets.
