How The Earth Was Really Created

How God Created the Earth


The theory of evolution, which includes the supposed evolution of all life on the earth, evolutionary geology of the planet, and the evolution of the cosmos, is all fiction, made up from whole cloth. The classic evolutionary chart showing the evolution of man from a lower ape to the current bipedal upright man is complete fiction—none of those life forms exist except for the last one, modern man.

Evolutionists have created a narrative of how man supposedly evolved from warm pond scum to today’s highly intelligent human being—over hundreds of millions of years. The narrative was created first, then the evolutionists set out to find evidence to support their theory; it is upside down science. Real science finds evidence, and then writes the narrative to fit the data. But great pains are taken to give evolution the pretext of serious science, with volumes of evidence, and irrefutable conclusions. But the evidence is mostly fiction and it is fabricated to support the narrative; contrary evidence is not allowed into the discussion—and certainly nothing Biblical, religious or God related is allowed into the discussion.

Charles Darwin, who is given credit for today’s modern theory of evolution was a poor scientist, did very little research, gave no credence to existing science, and made huge leaps of both logic and evidence in order to “prove” his theory. Other atheists then jumped on the bandwagon and began looking for evidence to support this new narrative. The Bible, the creation, and Noah’s flood were never argued against, no evidence was ever presented to disprove them; they were simply dismissed, as though they never existed.

Soon, it was obvious that the theory of evolution, based on a very slow, mutation based, system of changes, needed more time, a lot more time. So the narrative began to change to get around the problem that the mutation based evolutionary theory required. Darwin had no evidence that mutations were responsible for the changes he thought he saw in species, but he had to have something, and mutations were all that he had.

But mutations, in nearly all cases, are adverse, they create negative results, not the positive results (like species getting more intelligent), and they are so few and far between that it became apparent that evolution needed more time—a lot more time. So the narrative began to include the fictional notion that the earth is very, very old, millions, hundreds of millions, billions of years old. Ok, now they thought they had enough time for evolution to work, plus, nobody can dispute something that occurs over hundreds of millions of years, and certainly no unlearned person was capable of disputing it, so the theory was safe—so they supposed.

A good example of how mutations are negative and make things in the species worse is trisomy 21, the mutation that causes Down Syndrome. This mutation makes the victims shorter, mentally retarded, most have defective hearts and other issues, and all are sterile. With this mutation alone, the species would be gone in one generation.

What Is Not Known

Nobody knows what the earth was like before Adam and Eve—especially not the geologists. The fiction put forth by the geology mob is not even worth printing, its complete nonsense. Anyway, nobody knows exactly what the earth was like, nobody was there to make observations and so much has changed since then. The earth we know today was not exactly the same earth that Adam and Eve knew.
Matter is not created, it is not made over billions of years or otherwise, it has always existed. So the age of matter could be anything, nobody knows and there is no way to accurately date any of it; it could have been floating in space of mega-billions of years or could have been created by God in a day. Ironically, the fashionable theory of the day about how the universe came into being is the “big bang” theory, which depicts the universe as being created out of nothing; one moment there was nothing, the next moment the entire universe exploded into existence. This is science, supposedly, telling us the universe was created out of nothing.

Because of numerous inferences in the Bible, some experts believe the earth of Adam and Eve was not tilted 23 degrees, lacked tall mountains (those would come later), and probably most of the land was all together in one piece. This undoubtedly all changed with Noah’s flood; the “earth was divided”, the great deep was “broken up”, the waters covered the entire earth (not real difficult if there were no high mountains), the earth tilted to its present 23 degree axis. This action alone would probably have caused the earth to be covered with water (baptized), and would have caused the solid parts of the earth to move (possibly creating the continents we know today), and causing volcanoes to erupt all over the earth.

So imagine all of this happening at the same time; the earth does a significant tilt (nobody knows why this happened but it brought about the changes God wanted in the earth, created the seasons, the ice caps, the rivers, the mountains, the islands, and much more.
Geologists are not stupid, they know what happened, they make pretty good observations, they see what is there, and they know something caused it. They get in trouble when they try to apply time to the observations they make and in trying to fit what they see into the geologic narrative they have been brainwashed into supporting. For example, the geologists know the Colorado River in its present form did not carve the Grand Canyon; the very idea is obviously absurd. But the evolutionary narrative dictates that they apply great time (deep time) to explanations about that canyon. If the Colorado River carved the Grand Canyon, why is it not still carving the Grand Canyon? Geologists reluctantly admit they cannot find evidence the Colorado River has carved even one millimeter deeper over the past several thousand years. Hmmm, curious. But they stick to their narrative nevertheless. Every published piece about the Grand Canyon repeats the myth that the Colorado River carved the Grand Canyon, that the present is the key to the past that it took 70 million years for the river to carve the canyon, etc. All complete fiction.

The geologic fictional notion of “shallow seas” and “meandering streams” explains nothing and is a desperate reach to attempt to explain why some formation took five million years to form. Why would there have ever been shallow seas? Was there less water on the planet in the past than there is currently? Of course not, and no geologist ever makes that claim but the shallow seas fiction occurs in every narrative about the formation of geologic strata or formations.

The Colorado Plateau reveals the dishonesty of the geological community. The Colorado Plateau is a geologic uplift that created some of the most colorful and beautiful landscape in the world. But much of the plateau has been swept clean of its loose soil deposits; why? The millions of square miles of barren exposed rock should have topsoil, or sand, or volcanic ash, or all three on top of it—as does most of the planet, but it doesn’t. From Zion National Park to the Grand Canyon, to Capitol Reef and the San Juan River drainage, all of the topsoil has been swept away exposing the solid rock beneath. No geologist offers any sensible explanation because the only explanation is the great Biblical flood of Noah. But geologists are not allowed to consider the Bible or the Biblical flood even though evidence of that great, cataclysmic event is everywhere and is obvious to even the casual observer. As the Colorado Plateau rose up to its current height following Noah’s flood, the “receding” waters (sea water) swept off all the loose dirt and took it away to lower elevations—and it didn’t take 70 million years, it all happened in a year or two, creating all the current national parks in Utah, Colorado and Arizona. And yes, that event carved the Grand Canyon too.

The events surrounding Noah’s flood included far more than just a lot of rain; the flood event included the tilting of the earth to its present 23 degree angle, the eruption of hundreds of volcanoes, dozens of earthquakes, the violent movement of the tectonic plates which created the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada mountain range, the Himalayan mountain range and most of the younger mountain ranges on the planet. The Great Smoky Mountains in the eastern United States were probably created during the initial creation; while newer/younger mountain ranges like the Rocky Mountains were created during Noah’s great flood.

The result of hundreds of volcanic eruptions during the same year would fill the atmosphere with incalculable amounts of ash, blocking the suns heat and creating the ice age. And the tilting of the earth to its present 23 degree angle would mean the ice that formed on the poles would remain frozen for a very long time. The receding ice from North America and Europe did not occur some fictional millions of years ago, it happened about four to five thousand years ago.

The death of the dinosaurs also did not occur 70 million years ago. The scientific community knows that some catastrophic event (they nearly choke in using that term because it is a term that is not in their narrative) killed off the dinosaurs. Noah did not take dinosaurs on the ark, God was done with them, they had no further purpose and the flood killed them off. They were not entirely unknown to ancient man. The dragons described and written about in many cultures are the dinosaurs of pre-flood fame. Geologists make up all kinds of fanciful notions trying to explain why dead dinosaurs appear in great bunches, piles even, in certain locations. They make up stories of mythical migrations to dying grounds. But the dinosaurs were swept away and deposited by the events of the great flood and were exterminated.

Geologists and other scientists know that some catastrophic event occurred in the past, they know the dinosaurs were all killed off almost instantly. They know some great catastrophic water event took place that carved the canyons and deposited the sediment in the valleys and formed the mountains and changed the face of the earth. So they make up fictional narratives about how all this might have happened. It’s curious that a well documented event like Noah’s flood, with evidence abundantly present in the geologic record, is completely ignored in scientific writings. But anything Biblical, anything religious, anything divine is not allowed to be considered. Curious isn’t it?

So what is definitely not known is how old the earth is, how old the various formations are, or even how they were formed. Geologists have no idea how old the earth is either but because they are smart people with lots of education they cannot allow that there is something they don’t have the answers to so they make up a lot of fiction to pretend they do know how old the earth is or how old some rock or formation is. They throw out really big nine or ten digit numbers that give the appearance of fact, when in fact those numbers are complete fiction.

We also do not know why there is life here. Darwin’s fairy tale musing that “perhaps warm pond scum” under the right conditions, given enough time, could have produced single, living bacteria. The very idea is completely unsupportable, without any evidence, cannot be defended or reproduced scientifically, and is the product of a desperate reach by Darwin and many others in search of any theory that could contradict the Bible, God, and intelligent design. Show me any living thing that does not exhibit impressive design, order and intelligence—you can’t, such examples do not exist. Every living thing is incredibly complicated, marvelously engineered, and evidences unbelievable creative design.

So, in the beginning the earth was relatively flat with some low mountain ranges, it did not tilt 23 degrees, there were no seasons, and the land mass was probably mostly, if not completely, one large mass. Dinosaurs roamed certain parts of the earth; there were no high mountains (those would come later), probably no rain, as mist, fog and humidity watered the earth every evening and morning.
Then God directed Noah to build a ship—inland no less, and told him to collect two (or seven in many cases) of most of the animals, put them in the ark, and close the door. It began to rain. But the earth then tilted to its present 23 degree tilt, tectonic plates began to move, volcanoes began erupting all over the earth, this caused the seas to heave way beyond their normal bounds. The disruption was universal. The earth’s tilting alone would have been a major catastrophic event, but Noah, his family and the animals were safely on board the ark—the only safe place on earth.

Noah was aboard the ark for over a year, the waters receded, mountains appeared, and life started over again. All the dinosaurs drowned, all the fish survived, and Noah opened the ark and set the animals free again to roam the earth.
This was immediately followed by a major ice age because the ash put forth into the atmosphere from hundreds of volcanoes so filtered the suns heat to the point that the north and south poles froze over and ice formed well into the temperate zones from both poles.

What was the result of Noah’s flood and the catastrophic events that accompanied it? Mountain ranges were formed, volcanic islands appeared throughout the oceans, large valleys had been created, rivers formed, canyons carved. And when the waters receded off the land, it removed any soil, topsoil, sand, and loose soil that had settled out of the seas during the flood. The mountains and high places were denuded, swept clean, and the rich fertile valleys were the recipients of that soil. So much water came off the Colorado Plateau that the Grand Canyon was formed, Zion Canyon was formed, and Bryce Canyon was formed, as was Canyonlands and hundreds of other smaller canyons. The thick sandstone and limestone was exposed in the west, rivers began flowing, trees and grass began to grow again. And as Noah’s posterity multiplied and began to spread across the face of the earth.

The evidence for Noah’s flood is everywhere, is obvious, and clear and observable—and nobody has to make up a lot of silly fiction or push history back billions of years to try to explain how it all happened.

Nobody knows why ribbons of gold, silver and other precious and rare metals appear in the rock formations, they are just there. Somebody put them there for a reason. Why would such minerals be in bands and layers in the rocks? Such metals certainly were not laid down in that fashion by “shallow seas” and “meandering streams.”

And why are there miles and miles of deep deposits of coal? The Great flood swept the trees off the face of the earth and deposited them in Pennsylvania, Utah and many other locations on every continent. It doesn’t take millions of years to make coal. Coal can is made in a matter of weeks or months and the flood explains why the coal is there and how it got there. Geologists make the bizarre and false claim that coal was formed over millions of years in swamps, but coal does not appear in any swamp anywhere on earth—as the scientists claim; not today, not anciently. Coal can be created in a matter of weeks or months under heat and pressure. Thirty million year old coal does not exist. Furthermore, carbon 14 has a half life of less than 6,000 years and completely disappears in about 90,000 years. According to today’s geologists, the earth’s coal is at least 100 million years old. Yet, every coal deposit on earth has carbon 14 throughout. How can this be?

Where did all the gas and oil come from? It does not come from decaying animals. Such nonsense is completely unscientific and illogical. Gas and oil is where it is because God put it there, it was created by him for the benefit of man. The mineralogists keep telling us there is only so much oil, a limited amount, and when it’s gone, it’s gone. But behold more oil fields are discovered all the time. Where did they come from? Supposedly, all the world’s oil reserves were discovered and known decades ago, but somehow more oil just keeps showing up all over the place, places it wasn’t supposed to be. Why is it there? Where did it come from? Who put it there? God created it and perhaps even continues to replenish it.

The Five Grand Deceptions of Man

From the very beginning of man’s history on this earth, Satan has been extremely active in scheming to deceive every person born on this earth. No one is exempt. He will deceive the very poor, the very rich, the intellectually challenged and the very bright and educated; and he will deceive the advantaged and the disadvantaged. He does not care who you are, your social status, your wealth, your country, race, religion, gender, or anything else about you. No one is favored.

From the temple ceremony we learn that Satan was here from the very beginning, that he deceived Adam and Eve, and everyone since. We learn that he claims this earth as his own and that he is very successful in his grand scheme if disinformation.

I once believed that Satan would really only deceive regarding morality, the church, crime, drugs, etc. But Satan’s primary objective is to deceive one regarding his origin, the nature of God (or the absence of one), and to get people to engage in any and every activity without guilt or remorse. Every culture on this planet believes in God but Satan has succeeded in deceiving nearly all into believing erroneously about that god. He misleads about God’s nature, his involvement in our lives and in the purpose of life. Satan will deceive anyone, anywhere, anytime on any topic…and he does.

Evolution

It’s more than coincidence that Charles Darwin and Joseph Smith were contemporaries and that shortly after the martyrdom of Joseph Smith, Darwin published his theory regarding evolution. Joseph Smith made clear that God exists, that he lives, that he has a body of flesh and bones, that he is our father, that he created this earth, that there is purpose to our being here, and that there is life after this life. He also made clear that God created all life on this earth, indeed, that he is the source of all life on this earth.

Darwin, on the other hand, through his theory of evolution makes an intellectually pleasing argument that God did not create this earth, or all the life that exists upon it, that God created nothing, that he does not exist and that life evolved from some magical warm pond scum. God is not even allowed anywhere in the theory of evolution, then or now. So the differences between Joseph Smith and Charles Darwin could not be more extreme. This is not by accident. The origin of the gospel of Jesus Christ is Christ himself. The origin of Darwin’s theory of evolution is Satan himself.

When Charles Darwin put forth his theory of evolution he did not spend a single effort in disproving the Bible, the creation, or Biblical history; he simply dismissed it without even giving it a fair trial. By the 1840s Satan had already deceived so many so completely that he had a ready audience for any theory that would contradict the Bible, Biblical history, God and the creation itself. But Darwin’s theory would not work, he believed, unless evolution had a lot of time to work in. So Darwin began to postulate that the evolutionary process began so far back in time that no one could dispute it. Thus, “deep time” and millions and billions of years of past time began to make its way into the history and “science” of the universe.

But, you may ask, what about all the radiometric dating that gives precise dates of the rocks, the geological formations, and their origin and time of existence? Geology, like evolution, is a compilation of much fiction and fabricated data. Radiometric dating is completely unreliable and is used only to fit data into the geologic narrative, a narrative that was first written, and then the data was found (fabricated in most cases) to support the narrative. The same is true with the theory of evolution. The classic evolutionary chart that shows an ape like man on all fours ascending up through millions of years of evolution to the upright and intelligent man of today is complete fiction. Those characters do not exist, have never been found—but the chart is published worldwide without explanation or apology. It is all fiction, made up of whole cloth.

The theory of evolution is about as unscientific as is possible to be, and it is shocking that any thinking, educated scientist could possibly give the theory any serious consideration. It is this surprise that gives evidence to the fact that Satan has been extremely successful in his plans to deceive everyone born on this earth, and the deceit begins at a very early age. Satan deceives anyone, anywhere, anytime. He does not care the topic or the context, his purpose is to deceive.

There are five broad areas of organized, orchestrated and conspiratorial deceptions. I use the word “conspiracy” intentionally because Satan always employs conspiracies, implemented through his myriad of secret combinations to perpetrate his extensive deceptions.

Geology

Geology and the cosmos are mere extensions of the theory of evolution and are part and parcel of Satan’s scheme to deceive at all levels. Geology has irrationally pushed the creation of the earth so far back in time that no “unlearned” person could ever challenge the “data” or its conclusions. And the geological society very tightly protects their findings and conclusions, they are not given out to the layman or anyone else to test or disprove. All such “facts” are accepted as truth and beyond challenge.

“Scientists” of the cosmos are obligated to the same theory of evolution and time scale. No reputable scientist is allowed credibility or recognition if they depart from this theory, age of the cosmos, evolutionary principles, and most importantly that any intelligent design was involved in the creation of the universe.

Education has to be included in this grand secret combination because education is the vehicle by which Satan’s deceptions and falsehoods are passed on from one generation to the next. If he did not control education, he could not control the content and the anti-god conclusions of all scientific fields. It is astonishing to the objective observer that science and modern education is billed as how all knowledge is learned and discovered, that it is the source of all we know. It is presumed that any research would be welcome, any new information willingly embraced, and any new evidence hailed as important. We should not be so naïve. As exhibit “A” I submit the fact that public education will not even allow discussion of intelligent design, God, and the origin of life—regardless of the data and evidence available for it. Evolution would be dead on arrival if a fair and balanced review of all the evidence were allowed; therefore, all the evidence is not allowed.

The Grand Canyon is one of the world’s greatest geological wonderlands, it exposes numerous layers of strata and formations that geologists say make it easy to read and know the history of the formation of the canyon. But read anything anywhere about the Grand Canyon and it will say something like this “the Colorado River has carved the Grand Canyon over a period of 5 to 70 million years.” First of all, that is a very wide gap of history. Secondly, if you actually read the geological publications about the Grand Canyon (which I have), you will discover that they pretty much have no idea how the Grand Canyon was formed, it is a complete enigma, and it contradicts all the evolutionary narrative about geology, erosion, deep time and the formation of the entire Colorado Plateau. Yet, the narrative is put forth in absolute terms as though geologists know exactly how it was formed, and when. They don’t.

Even more curious is the fact that most of the geologists who study the Grand Canyon admit that one or more catastrophic events contributed to the formation of the canyon. But using the term “catastrophic” is forbidden in geology because it violates the theory of slow erosion over millions of years. So they use creative terms like “a single pulse event” or “unusual erosional event” to describe what you and I would call catastrophic or even the Biblical flood.

One problem with the notion that the Colorado River carved the Grand Canyon is the fact that the Colorado River has not eroded the canyon at all in hundreds, or thousands of years. Geologists don’t like to talk about this either but the wild, fast and erosive content of the Colorado River rides on a layer of protective silt and gravel that prevents the river from eroding at all, even a single millimeter. So how did this relatively small river erode the entire Grand Canyon with its hundreds of side canyons as well? And there lies a second big problem. All of the side canyons are eroded down to the same level as the canyon in which the Colorado River flows—but those side canyons rarely have any water in them. How is it they have eroded down to the same elevation as the main channel, carved by this wild and erosive river? The only explanation is that the canyon is actually quite young and it was created when the Biblical flood occurred about 4500 years ago; it was a singular event, a catastrophic event, and it didn’t take 70 million years to happen.

And there are other issues the evolutionists have with the Grand Canyon such as, 1) why are their missing formations, whole formations that should be there but aren’t? 2) Why does a perfectly flat formation that took 5 million years to form have no debris, no erosion, no volcanic ash, etc? 3) And if all those cubic miles of slowly eroded soil were sent down river, why does it not show up in the Muddy Creek, just below the Grand Canyon? It should be there but it isn’t. 4) And why do rocks from down river show up two hundred miles upriver from the canyon? These and numerous other problems frustrate the geologists who make up elaborate fictional narratives to explain things that the Biblical flood explains very easily—but the Biblical flood is something that geologists are not allowed to talk about or even allowed to bring into the conversation.

No geologist can get published by writing a Biblical narrative or a catastrophic explanation for observable geological events. Only evolutionary narratives are allowed, and thus, Satan controls the information that the rest of us receive and are deceived by.

The Cosmos

Cosmology is the study of the origin of the universe. The field of cosmology has some real rock stars used to deceive both the educated and the uneducated. Albert Einstein, Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, and many others are contributors to the third leg of this grand deception. But you cannot spend even five minutes reading about the cosmos but what the Bible will be ridiculed for its explanation of the origin of the universe (six days, etc). And in its place you will read a very comprehensive, technical and “scientific” explanation of how things began, how they exist, and how God had nothing to do with this. If you are uneducated or unread or unable to think critically, this can all be very persuasive—especially when everyone you know, your high school biology teacher, your college geology professor, and your friends on the internet, all agree with the brainwashing they have received through the course of their lives.

But all of this “scientific” and “educated” theory has some very big problems. For example, if everything began with the “big bang” and the universe is expanding outward, why is everything we observe in the sky remaining stationary? The North Star does not move, the sun, the earth, the moon, are always in the exact same positions, and have been for a very long time according to the same theorists who claim the universe is expanding.

And why did the “bang” occur at all? And why is their life at all? Why are all the elements necessary for life, very abundant life, in place on this planet and not on every other? There are millions of life forms on this planet and no one has yet been able to produce life in any form or explain why all the pieces are in place here and not elsewhere. To be honest, they have no answers because the only answer is that God designed this universe, this solar system, this earth, and he created all the life that exists here.

Government

Government is the fourth frontier of Satan’s great deception. Government has the power to force or enforce anything it wishes, and Satan is force if he is anything at all. Freedom cannot be tolerated; individual liberty is anathema to his theories. The United States Constitution was designed and written by men inspired by God to prevent abuse of power. In a nutshell, that is the American form of government—to prevent abuse of power. In a single stroke it destroyed kings, dictators, oligarchies, communism and all other forms of government where individual liberties are violated. Consequently, Satan has been on the attack ever since his failure to prevent the constitution from being ratified. Remember Satan is a deceiver and he has deceived governmental leaders into believing they must deceive too, they must not be transparent, and they must hide the truth, deceive the masses and consolidate power around them.

Education

Consider this: Neither the theory of evolution nor the theories of geology nor the theories of the cosmos (the universe), through the educated, scientific community will allow anything having to do with God, Christ, the Bible or anything divine, to be included in their false theories. No expert in any of these disciplines will get anything published, reviewed or endorsed by another “expert” if that person brings God or Christ or intelligent design into the publication.

Many in public education have tried and failed to allow instruction on intelligent design into the curriculum. Intelligent design (God, Christ, etc) is not even allowed to be discussed in the public schools. And should a teacher teach intelligent design or talk of Christ or bring the Bible into the discussion, he would be fired for doing so. Isn’t that most interesting? One would think that in the realm of education, any defensible idea would be welcome; but it is not so. Satan will not allow it; evidence that he controls education, the curriculum, the text books and the discussion.

In the area of Egyptian history, for example, there is considerable disagreement between archaeologists and Biblical scholars over Moses, the exodus from Egypt and Joshua’s conquest of the land of Israel. The issue seems to be that Egyptian chronology is off by a couple of hundred years. If that chronology is adjusted by a couple of hundred years then the Biblical account of Moses and the exodus matches perfectly with Egyptian history—and with the archaeological record in Egypt and Israel, but the archaeologists will not budge, they insist they are right—and if they make the adjustment, then the Bible history is confirmed, and they simply cannot allow that. So the deception of the “myth of Moses and the exodus” continues.

How Can One Know The Truth?

But how can one know if something is true or false? Satan is so good at his deceptions that it is not always clear what is true and what is false. Satan uses the highly educated and the very intelligent to convince the rest of us that God does not exist, that creation is a myth, that all life and the universe has come about as a result of some mythical accumulation of chance.

Near the end of the Book of Mormon, Mormon (through his son Moroni) gives us the key to knowing truth from falseness: “But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil, and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil; for after this manner doth the devil work, for he persuadeth no man to do good, no, not one; neither do his angels; neither do they who subject themselves unto him.” Moroni 7:17

It is no accident that Mormon states clearly that the key to knowing truth from error is whether or not that thing persuades men to believe in Christ. How very interesting. He does not state that we can know the truth by studying it, or by researching it, or by listening to the learned experts in a given field, or by meditating about it on some remote mountain. How truth is discerned is simple, if the matter in question leads one to believe in Christ, then it is true. If something leads men to deny Christ then it is false. And he does not say that “you can be pretty sure something is false,” but he says “then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil.” Mormon then goes on to explain that this is how Satan works, “for he persuadeth no man to do good, no, not one; neither do his angels; neither do they who subject themselves unto him.” And who are those “who subject themselves unto him?” It is anyone who denies Christ and teaches to not serve God. He makes it very plain, very clear; there is no mystery about it.

Satan is the great deceiver. He has and will deceive in all fields of science, medicine, nutrition, history and learning. Geology is a glaring example of this.
Other Examples of Satan’s Deception:

Climate Change

It is rather astonishing to observe the rapid and indefensible notion of climate change becoming accepted by very intelligent and very educated people everywhere. How is it done? Climate change and global warming are both complete fiction. But the environmental movement has successfully found the holy grail of stopping the use of fossil fuels even though the planet is not warming, the climate is not changing and fossil fuels are not guilty. But truth does not matter here; remember, Satan is a deceiver and he will deceive anyone, anywhere, anytime. Deception, misinformation and falseness are the horses that Satan rides, they are his only weapons; he cannot use truth because that works against him, so he uses lies, deception, misinformation, and plain old fiction. This is how he works.

Again, only through deception can falseness gain their cloak of truth and be embraced by billions of people. For example, only a fool would believe that carbon is a pollutant. Carbon is the basis of all life on this planet, without carbon there would be no life. Yet, influential environmentalists have persuaded millions of people that carbon is a great evil and must be eliminated, that causes global warming, that fossil fuels are the culprit and that these must be eradicated by radical governmental action.

First of all, global warming is fiction. The earth is not warming. The ice caps are not melting. The polar bears are not dying off, and the oceans are not rising. There are two sources of determining global temperatures, 1) land based temperature recording devices, and 2) satellite temperature measurements. Over the past thirty or forty years all of the remote (mountains, deserts, agricultural land, etc) sensing stations have been removed and replaced by additional urban stations. Urban stations all give higher temperature readings than do the remote stations because urban stations have concrete, asphalt, and other heat producing elements. Honest weather scientists know that urban temperatures are going to be higher than temperatures recorded outside the city (on a farm, for example). So the numbers are being manipulated to support the deception.

Furthermore, satellite readings are not subject to all that urban heat producing influence and they can record temperatures on the seas, the deserts, in the mountains—all the remote areas that are no longer included in the temperature analysis. Not surprisingly, the satellite readings do not show any global temperature increase (beyond normal cyclical variations). And if you have been paying attention you will know there has been a huge battle going on between whether land based temperature readings (which do show a global temperature increase), and satellite based temperature readings (which do not show any global temperature increase). The environmental radicals want the satellite temperatures thrown out so that the land based temperatures can be used to influence governmental policy and funding (funding is a really big deal here). At the very least, they want the satellite temperatures “adjusted” to reflect “reality.” Satan never sleeps and he misses no opportunity to deceive.

Same Sex Marriage

On its face, same sex marriage is really quite absurd. Why would anyone even consider it? Even if one accepts the idea that homosexuals have been around for a long time; not until about ten years ago did any of them even consider marrying someone of the same gender. Historically, homosexuals (especially men) had hundreds and even thousands of sexual partners; marriage to one male was the furthest thing from their minds.

Even now, after a bizarre supreme court ruling established that same sex marriage to be the law of the land, I, for one, do not believe married homosexuals care about marriage but rather they care about changing everything, changing the definition of marriage, doing away with religion—especially religious freedom, and performing an in your face action that they know offends most people.

It is more than chance that the First Presidency issued A Proclamation to the World exactly twenty years ago. At the time, some people thought the First Presidency letter a bit odd, and “what was that all about?” kind of thing. But prophets see the future and the prophets definitely saw the future on this one.

The irony of the “gay” movements is they demand tolerance and acceptance for themselves and their values, but refuse to exhibit any tolerance and acceptance for anyone else. Gays have historically exhibited anger towards religion and religious people, and yes, even towards Jesus Christ. Moroni’s doctrine regarding how to know the difference between truth and falseness is exhibited here.

But to the point, Satan will deceive anyone, anywhere, anytime. He deceived five of the Supreme Court justices, numerous federal and state justices, many state and federal legislators, and millions of Americans into believing that this same sex marriage issue is a discrimination issue.

Again, I reiterate, Satan will deceive on any topic, he does not care what it is, he is a deceiver—that is what he does and he takes pleasure in deceiving. I include nutrition to make this point, Satan does not care what the topic is, he is going to deceive, and if one is not vigilant and if as Latter-day Saints we do not adhere very closely to the words of the prophets, living and dead, we too will be deceived.

Doctrine and Covenants Section 89 was given to the Prophet Joseph Smith in Kirtland, Ohio in 1833 “In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days. I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom.”

Let’s analyze this for a minute. This revelation was given “In consequence of evils and designs which DO AND WILL EXIST” in the last days. This was not just a response to the tobacco spitters in Emma’s house (that was merely the justification for the revelation), it was a warning even in the area of nutrition that evil exists and will continue to exist throughout the last days. Then the Lord says he has “warned you” and [I} “forewarn you.” He is warning into the future as well.

Wine and strong drink is forbidden. This has been interpreted as anything that is harmful to the body or habit forming. God wants us free, unencumbered by addictive habits, Satan wants the exact opposite. Tobacco is then included and declared to be “not good for man.” It goes on to include hot drinks (modern prophets have made clear this is coffee and tea and any other habit forming drinks). So anything that is addictive is not good for man.

Then the Lord goes on to list what is good for man, herbs, fruits, grains, vegetables (fruits of the ground) and “flesh” of beasts and fowls of the air.” And declares they should all be used sparingly (that is, none should be eaten to excess—even the grains, the herbs and fruits.)

So anyone who advocates not eating of meat (vegetarians), or not eating wheat or eggs or white flour or gluten or any other extreme dietary practice, is going beyond what the Lord revealed to Joseph Smith—and has been deceived. I have known many vegetarians, vegans and those who advocate some extreme diet that excludes all dairy, meat, eggs, wheat, flour, sugar, etc. And nearly all of those I know personally will defend their position, their diet, to the death. They will not change.

They are more faithful to this diet of theirs than they are to the living prophets. Elder Boyd K. Packer, in general conference 1999, spoke very specifically against those who erroneously advocate that meat not be eaten, and that they are being deceived. Indeed they are. Satan does not care who he deceives or on what topic. It is his mission to deceive. I asked one of these friends of mine “If the prophet told you to eat mean, would you eat mean?” He thought a minute then said, “I’d have to say no.” We’re not talking about eating poison here, or radioactive uranium, just meat, a piece of chicken or fish or a hamburger. Satan has them, fully, completely deceived—and committed to a whole new religion.

The organic foods movement had its origin in People’s Park in Berkeley, California in the middle of the radical hippies, feminist, environmentalist and anti-government, anti-capitalism rhetoric that permeated that entire event. It is not of Christ, it does not bring people to Christ, it is a deception.

In Conclusion, My Testimony

I bear my testimony that evolution is false, that evolutionary geology is false, and that evolutionary cosmology is false. I bear my witness that the educational system is controlled by Satan and his co-conspirators, and that Latter-day Saints must be very wise, and very skeptical of anything they are taught in the public schools and universities. Not everything is false that is taught there but if you do not question it and apply Moroni’s truth to what is being taught you may be deceived.

I bear testimony that same sex marriage is a gross evil and a gross deception, it is not the Lord’s way, and no prophet has ever supported such wicked nonsense. Regardless of what the world may advocate or defend or teach or promote, this is falseness and deception at its very worst.

I bear testimony that the Word of Wisdom must be the guide in all nutritional decisions. Meat must not be removed from the diet, or dairy, or wheat, or any other healthy and beneficial food the Lord has given us. I know something about organic gardening and organic foods, and declare that organic foods are a grand fraud, they have no nutritional benefit and they cost two to three times more than regular foods. This is not the Lord’s “wisdom” but man’s, and it is false and another deception. (only in the case of medical conditions such as celiac disease, lacking the dairy digesting enzyme, or some other disease, should there be a refrain from what the Word of Wisdom teaches.)

It is my testimony to anyone who reads this that if you are not very careful, if you do not understand the scriptures and the living prophets, and if you do not run everything you hear through the filter of the Holy Ghost, and keep your eye keenly on the living prophets, you will be deceived…and you don’t need to be. The Lord wants you to live in light and truth, not live among the weeds of Satan’s darkness and deception.
