Hugh W. Nibley, "Before Adam," (Provo, UT: FARMS) Hugh Nibley deals with questions related to pre-Adamic life and Noah's flood, showing the weaknesses of both the fundamentalist-religious and evolutionary-scientific approaches. Comparing these approaches to a drama, he concludes that neither has a plot but that Joseph Smith offers a vivid and workable plot. The accounts in the Pearl of Great Price communicate the unfolding of plans made before the creation and answer a number of perplexing questions.
