Today I'm affirming what I have long believed and what three-fourths of the states have ratified:

The 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex. pic.twitter.com/oZtS6Q89zG
COMMUNITY NOTED In a even more r-slurred than expected move, Biden say the ERA is ratified, Even though it isn't??? This seriously is r-slurred and beyond parody.

The Constitution does not specify a time limit for states to ratify the ERA and 38 states have ratified it. The dramatic call is to assert that it is in fact the law of the land. Women will now be drafted.

Idaho was one of the states to ratify the ERA. However after they did, Boyd K Packer, a top leader of the !Mormons, traveled to Idaho on Jan 8, 1977 and told the state to de-ratify the ERA.

Within that same time period, he gave a lesson at BYU that:

Mormons are all mixed up as far as Biblical creation goes. Despite having what they consider a living prophet who talks to God face-to-face, He seems to be quite absent on revealing additional details.

My favorite Mormon idea is the Intergalactic Space Monster story, that since they already believe God organized the matter of the universe into planets and living things, maybe he just took hunks of old planets and matter to create this planet 7000 years ago.
More clearly: dinosaur bones are real, and yes they are old, and rocks are old too, however God used that old material to make this planet 7000 years ago. So the Bible is true and science is true.
This is not official doctrine, just a bunch of stuff people wonder.
To contrast this, Mormons have a scriptural obligation to the literal timeframe to the Tower of Babel and when God created all the world languages
