"Book of Mormon prophets invoked the Creation as a symbol of God's goodness and a touchstone of human stewardship: 'The Lord hath created the earth that it should be inhabited; and he hath created his children that they should possess it' (1 Ne. 17:36). Those who reject God's goodness, as symbolized by the Creation (and the Atonement), will inevitably be judged and punished (cf. 2 Ne. 1:10)."
