President Packer, quoting from the Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, stated in his October 1993 conference address: “Natural and spiritual laws which govern life were instituted from before the foundation of the world.They are eternal…” Once the earth and Adam were created naturally, natural laws would take effect. The point where it states that the Lord had not caused it to rain was prior to the natural creation of Adam. And I, the Lord God, had created all the children of men and not yet a man to till the ground for in heaven created I them and there was not yet flesh upon the earth, neither in the water, neither in the air.” For I, the Lord God, had not caused it to rain upon the face of the earth. For I, the Lord God, created all things, of which I have spoken, spiritually, before they were naturally upon the face of the earth. “And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew. Prior to the natural creation of man on we read in Genesis 2:5, Moses 3:5 and Abraham 5:5, that the Lord had not caused it to rain. Is it true that it never rained before Noah? Is there any authoritative references on this subject?
