[Brigham Young] [W]hen this world was first made it was in a close proximity to God. When man sinned it was hurled millions of miles away from its first position and that was why it was called the Fall.

The only person hurled millions of miles was Brigham when he died and was hurled away, fled away, and speedily dragged down into outer darkness (hell).
