>He said "God is so powerful that he can do anything including placing all that evidence there to test our faith". So his God is a deceiver. It's impossible to know the truth about anything in that universe. Because you don't know, can't know, when God is putting a finger on the scale. That sort of reasoning reminds me of: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-god.html http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-god.html Q7. So if God directed evolution, why not just say he created everything at once? Mainly because all the evidence suggests otherwise. If God created the universe suddenly, he created it in a state that is indistinguishable from true age. If he did create it that way there must be a reason, otherwise God is a liar. Whatever that reason may be, a universe that is exactly like one that is old should be treated as if it were old.
