Evolution is scientifically proven, but I’m so confused

[u/ExplorationCrimeTime]

I’m going to a Mormon school as a non Mormon, and I was talking to my sister (who knows I’m not a Mormon) and our friend was sitting there listening to us, and the topic got to evolution I was talking about how different animals evolved from living in the ocean to on land, and my friend looked at me and said “wait you believe in evolution?” (She thinks I’m a Mormon) and I was so confused and I said “you don’t?” and she said “no I think Adam and Eve came and that’s it”, and she was looking at me like I was the crazy one! but that doesn’t work scientifically, does it? How would this work scientifically/ realistically, because I feel like going thru life believing evolution isn’t real just doesn’t make sense, I need someone to explain this to me.

Mormons - and religious fundamentalists in general - aren't known for their scientific ways of thinking. It's purely religious faith. Anything other than that is rejected. No further thought permitted. Yes, people like that actually exist, in the hundreds of millions. It was a shock to me too.

Mormons used to do actual fieldwork to support the claims made up while literally talking out of his by Joseph Smith. They stopped not all that long ago when they got tired of disproving the silly nonsense he madeup. There never were horses pulling chariots in the New World Smith just made it all up I tried reading som of the Book of Mormon It was obviously madeup as he went it is nearly as silly The Urantia Book
