Although I'm no creationist, I find it interesting that they, too, make claims about secret societies, occultism, "new world orders" and such.

This article on Masonic Origins from biblebelievers.org shows a simple diagram that traces occultism, or secret societies, to the pantheism of mesopotamia and neighboring regions.

Now, I can't help but think all this, as much else, Religion itself included, points to the sumerian anunnaki - "those from heaven to earth came" - as being behind all this secret society stuff and a controlling one world government. :wink:
