The Role of Statistics
Statistics plays a crucial role as a gatekeeper of science by making proper measurements and weighing evidence in favor of or against a hypothesis. This process helps push science forward, allowing for proper conclusions to be formulated.
Measurements of Ourselves
Assessing where we stand as individuals is a challenging measurement we must make in mortality. Taking the time to evaluate our relationship with the Savior, exercise faith, and seek personal growth is essential for progressing towards becoming children of Christ.
Measurements of Others
When measuring others, we must exercise caution and patience. Making fair assessments and avoiding snap judgments require introspection, personal interviews, and reliance on the gift of discernment. Applying these principles allows us to see others as Heavenly Father sees them.
