Weaving a Tangled Web from Evolution – August 2024 Newsletter
August, 2024
Dear Friend of Creation Moments,
Oh what a tangled web we weave
when first we practice to deceive.
A tangled web of deceitful information has certainly plagued the pseudo-science of evolution. Creation Moments has been tracking this for years. Fraudulent ape-men … just-so-stories with imaginative and deceptive drawings … the grossly exaggerated power of natural selection. Evolution tries to cover up the truth that actual “science” points to a Supernatural Creator! It tries to be intellectual justification for atheism and insists that its pre-suppositions are the only way to think.
Evolution has been foundational to deceptive propaganda for years – from “scientific” racism and eugenics to godless Marxism and “global technocracy” as championed by the United Nations and the World Economic Forum (WEF). This is the worldview that all people’s lives must be ruled by so-called “experts”, bureaucrat scientists, engineers, economists and other government and industry rule-makers. Forget the Bible as well as the U.S. and state constitutions which appeal to life and liberty under God.
Elected politicians need only be figureheads. Thus, dementia in a U.S. President is not so bad – until they start losing in the polls. A “shadow government” is all you really need. Propaganda backed by covert operations, government power and their crony corporations can deceive and control the masses. This is the thinking of many globalist elites.
“We must force humanity into collaboration,” engineer/economist Klaus Schwab, head of the WEF, said to the invited elites at the WEF summer meeting in Dalian, China in June of this year. “Smart” dictatorship and de-population are the goals, under the alarm of “climate change” and other supposed “limits to growth”. No wonder Schwab has been so enamored by the totalitarian Chinese Communist Party.
Limits to Growth was the title of a famous 1972 report from M.I.T. based on assumptions similar to the 1968 book The Population Bomb by Paul Ehrlich. They both assumed that overpopulation is imminent because we were running out of resources, assuming billions of years to develop the “finite” resources of this world. They negated God’s command to “be fruitful and multiply”, and completely underestimated mankind’s ability to manage and innovate, or as the Bible says, to “exercise dominion” (Genesis 1:28). They claimed that only 1-2 billion people were “sustainable” on the earth!
The web of deceit is interesting to track with “climate change”. It follows a similar history to the deception of evolution – falsified, cherry-picked data to advance an “agenda”; the exaggerated power of carbon dioxide from the combustion of oil and gas to influence global climate. In actuality, the sun is by far the greatest influence on climate. And climate change alarmism predictions, like the famine predictions of The Population Bomb, are not materializing.
Oil and natural gas have supposedly been created through an evolutionary scenario by millions of years of heat and pressure on ancient organic remains. In this just-so-story, prehistoric plants (carbon sources), growing on the earth’s surface, were concentrated, buried and jumbled together in an unusual way. And they all fossilized over long ages rather than going through normal decay to become normal soil.
But creationists know that you don’t need long ages in the presence of high pressure and hot water. Also, there’s the glaring “inconvenient truth” about all this water in the oceans on top of the oil. Yet, somehow a global flood is censored from the discussion.
But never mind all this, oil must be a very “rare” and finite resource after taking so long to form, they say – as well as one which generates an abnormal pollutant load for the biosphere. Therefore, we MUST not be dependent on it, and it MUST be maintained as an expensive commodity which we are loathe to produce too much of too quickly.
Indeed, estimated oil reserves were supposed to peak between 1966 and 1972 (the “Peak Oil Theory”). And when the projections closely coincided with the first oil “shortage” of 1973, we seemed to have confirmation that this was indeed the “rare commodity of an evolutionary scenario”. But soon new supplies were discovered – offshore, in Alaska, and in other countries.
Ultra deep-well drilling – 26,000 ft (5 miles!) deep and more, and “fracking” with horizontal drilling have grown estimated world oil reserves far beyond previous “limits to growth”. The old “peak oil” theory is no longer discussed, while prices are propped up by self-imposed limits on exploration and production rates.
The ultra deep-well discoveries also raise the question: What is all this oil and gas doing many MILES BELOW the earth’s surface if it was once all ancient plant life ON the earth’s surface? Are we running up against another ideological and money-motivated scientific scenario resting on a falsehood?
Could it be that an evolutionary scenario is completely unnecessary and obscures the true picture once again? Could it be that most oil and gas are actually produced and replenished at the bottom of the earth’s crust, where it contacts a methane-rich mantle under high temperature and pressure and then percolates upward? Scientists outside the mainstream and in other parts of the world think so. After all, volcanoes bringing magma from the earth’s mantle also spew methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen gases into the atmosphere. And we make long-chain hydrocarbons such as polyethylene by combining simple natural gas molecules under – guess what – high temperature and pressure! There may be much higher oil and gas reserves than the evolution scenario would tell us.
It’s hard to know what to believe when there is so much entanglement with deception – and easy to be deceived by the most-frequent, most-persistent voices. But one thing I do know is that we can believe the Bible. And the Bible tells us that evolution is not true. The Bible also tells us that all people, which includes scientists, are subject to greed, dishonesty and various schemes which deny their Maker and promote their own pride and self-interest. This leads to the weaving of many tangled webs of deceit which obscure the truth. As they say, “follow the money” … and the lust for power.
We have work to do. We have the call to bring the message of the truth of God, His Living Word, to all peoples of the planet! This is the real way to “save the planet”! And so we thank you and ask for your continued support in taking this message to the whole world!
Yours in Christ,

P.S. This month I’m excited to bring you two great books that will help you and your family answer questions about climate change and about origin. The answers found in these two books will help you respond to questions from those who do not yet know the Lord.
Climate Change for Kids…and Parents Too! This colorful hardcover is much more than just a book – it’s a roadmap for families seeking to understand and engage with one of the defining challenges of our time! Full of brilliant illustrations and scientific, logical, and theological truths, this groundbreaking book by Ken Ham empowers concerned parents and curious children to navigate the complexities of climate change with biblical wisdom, compassion, and faith!
In Creation Q&A 2: Answers to 32 More Questions about the Bible and Evolution, you’ll discover easy-to-remember answers to some of the most common questions about our origins: Can life spontaneously generate? Do fossils show that humans came from apes? Not only will you build a stronger understanding of the evidence, you’ll also uncover explanations both science and Scripture truly support!
