Why did god plant all those old fossils in the ground? Just to test our faith?

Question

You would think he wouldn't have gone through all the trouble of planting fossils and such just to trick us into thinking the earth was more than 5000 years old. (Which of course it is.) I mean, was it Satan who did it?

Oh great - Mainworry is back with the rambling incoherent 'answers'.

Answer 1

The earth is millions of years old. The creation of the earth as we see it today, is a re-creation of the surface for the habitation of human kind. "In the beginning", depicts a period when the earth is in existence already and God [Jesus] reworks the surface to accommodate human beings. Fossils are a record for us to ponder over and to learn from the evidence they reflect to those who observe them. The Cambrian phyla or division of the fossil layer reveals a sudden appearance of animal life known by scientists [paleontologists] as the Biological Big Bang ! This occurred about 540 million years ago ! This particular piece of fossil evidence blows Darwin's Theory of a long history of gradual divergence to pieces. Paleontologists agree that this stands Darwin's Tree of Life, on its head !!! God 1 ... Evolutionists 0 !!!

Answer 2

In reality, mankind only arrived on this planet roughly 100 years ago. Everything that claims to be older than 100 years was manufactured, in order to give us a false sense of history.

Ruins, books, all of these were carefully forged by advanced Techno-magery...We just arrived here in a large generational ship. It was a huge ship, with a dome over the flat landscape. That's one of the reasons why we have the old myths of the earth being flat, the dome of heaven, the pillars of the dome...Because over a century ago, it WAS true.

Answer 3

Your answer to your question exists in your question. God planted the fossils to test our faith! What greater faith could you show to the Lord but through faith in creation even when there is proof of hard material?? Its a test of your love for the Lord.

Answer 4

He didn't plant the fossils in the ground. He made the Earth around them.

Answer 5

There are 3 heaven and earth ages, same heaven and earth but different ages.

II Pet.3:5-7 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
……………………………………….
THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS
Gen.1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

To that earth age the world that then was, belongs all fossils and remains. Scientific estimates or guesses; universe or heavens 20 billion years old, earth 4.6 billion years old, moon 200 to 300 million years younger than earth, dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago, Ice Age 2.5 million years ago.
………………………………………………………………
BEING OVERFLOWED WITH WATER PERISHED
Gen.1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

AND THE EARTH WAS
The word “was” (hayah) in Hebrew, was not distinguished by the Revisers, that is the verb “to be” from “to become”. The same Hebrew word “hayah” is translated “became” in Gen.2:7.
AND THE EARTH BECAME

WITHOUT FORM H8414 tohu (to'-hoo) From an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), that is, desert; figuratively a worthless thing; adverbially in vain: - confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.

VOID H922 bohu (bo'-hoo) From an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, that is, (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin: - emptiness, void.
AND THE EARTH BECAME DESOLATE AND EMPTY
Earth was not created that way but became desolate and empty due to Satan’s rebellion. A global overflowing of water, but not Noah’s deluge. Darkness was upon the (face) of the deep, in other words the whole earth.
Into this we can read; dinosaur extinction, destruction of Atlantis, breakup of Gondwana Land, and the Ice Age.
………………………………………………………………………...
BUT THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WHICH ARE NOW
Gen.1:2 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Gen.1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

About 63 A.D. Peter writes, the heavens and the earth which are now. The heaven and earth age we are in now, today.
BY THE SAME WORD ARE KEPT IN STORE
RESERVED UNTO FIRE
AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
AND PERDITION OF UNGODLY MEN
PERDITION G684 apoleia (ap-o'-li-a) From a presumed derivative of G622; ruin or loss (physical, spiritual or eternal): - damnable (-nation), destruction, die, perdition, X perish, pernicious ways, waste.
Some will perish eternally and not see the third heaven and earth age.

Answer 6

It isn't a test, it's the real thing. You either believe or you don't.

You'll have to excuse me now because I have to go out and wait for the mothership which will sweep me away from all this.

Answer 7

Fossils are real and formed naturally just not as quick as many would have us believe.

Answer 8

he didnt. dinosaurs were created just like any other animals. They are mentioned in the bible I.E. behemoth and leviathan. They were hunted into extinction for food. the carbon dating system we use is extremely innacurate, due to the changing of the earths magnetic field.

Answer 9

why would you think that? God made the heavens and the earth in seven days he didn't say how long after that he decide to create man.. i believe it was LONG after creation

Answer 10

God knew there would be men walking around with little brushes to wipe sand away from rocks ,so he gave them plenty to do
