Anthropologists tell us the human race is hundreds of thousands of years old. Geologists tell us the earth is millions of years old. Cosmologists tell us the universe is millions of years old. Biologists tell us that we are descended from a non-human ancestor. Are they all wrong? Did God plant misleading evidence to test our faith?

You can't put the word deceive and God in the same sentence. It doesn't work that way. God created everything and everybody.

It may well be that some are closer to the truth than others but none fully understand the great mysteries that are creation, there are more theories than exact answers and science is still only a tool that can be useful or not depending on the way it is applied,I mean the very first Tyrannasaurus was put together over a hundred years ago and was thought to be a perfect representation until recently it was discovered that it contained several other dinosaur bones.
One thing is certain,you cannot explain a mystery by presenting another mystery or theory.

No-one can prove OR disprove the existence of God. It is up to you to decide what to believe.
As for the timelines, the bible states that 1 second is like a thousand years through God and if you then take the 7 days of creation you will end up with quite a few years...
Also it depicts that time stood still at least twice in history (but no-one knows for how long at a time)
All the scientists will always make these kind of claims trying to prove that they are right but whilst doing so none has ever come forward with evidence beyond any reasonable doubt to disprove it either

God is Morally Perfect and Benevolent. This places us in a bit of a tricky situation as many things God has done or lets happen are against human morals but obviously must be correct since it was God who let these things happen. So one can only surmise that if you believe in God, then you accept that natural disasters are agreeable, you believe that fossil evidence and science is false evidence that God has deliberately created in order to test you. While this sounds very nasty of a benevolent god, seeing as we attribute morally perfect status to him, all his actions are benevolent by definition.

That would make God a mighty big jackass. put yourself in God's shoes. Would you, as a parent, intentionally decieve your child as a test of whether or not they have faith in you. I think that qualifies as some kind of mental abuse and you should rightly have your child taken away. Why can't evolution be the mechanism through which god works. That's more plausible than straight up creationism.

no. cosmologists deceived you when they told you the universe was only millions of years old. 4.5 billionish right? lol.
god certainly did plant all that evidence to test our faith. just like when satan planted all those dinosaur bones.

no God did not plant any miss leading evidence the real question should be who do you believe the human biengs who from the start reject the word of God or God who from the start told us the end?

We'll never understand the deep inner workings of the Universe or how it was made, we've only scratched the surface so far.

To test our faith. that is what all this about you will either take the devil road or the haven road, that will be the hardest test that you will ever had or you will have to face. think what makes this sky still and what makes us have earth and gravity.

We do have a non human ancestor. God and He has been here forever and will be here forever more.
