If Evolution, an observable pheneominum is a deceptive ploy put in by God to throw humans into a state of un-faith, is God then deceptive? Isn't the name of the deceptive 'god' in the bible, Satan? (the "disagreer") If Evolution is God's tool, then can't he still remain God, and not have to, by default, become deceptive/Satan? Who do you worship, God or the deceptive one?

The infallibility of the bible is a relatively new concept in the Christian world. For the first few hundred years of Christianity, the cannon, and the apocrapha, and the deutercanonicals were all treated as a way to understand God, but not as infallible. Each community may have had 1 or two of these books. Mabye they had the Gospel of Mark and the Book of Enoch, and tried to understand Jesus from these writings.
God had to use the inperfect minds of human prophets, and the imperfect use of human created language (hebrew/Greek/Latin) to describe something. There's bound to be flaws. Not because God is flawed, but because man, God's tool, is flawed.

I agree we often deceive ourselves. I deceive myself when I think I'm right, because I can't imagine that I'm right more than even half the time. I think when people say "God said..." they're ignoring the fact that those books are "according to..." because God is warning us that perfect ideas are diluted through imperfect human vessels. If God wanted to tell the author of Genesis, whether the ancient guy named Moses who may have been Egyptian or may have been Jewish (because the term Jewish wasn't invented at that time) in scientific terms which weren't even invented (language/another human creation) would this man, Moses, have understood? Or did God speak to Moses in his own language?

Very true. This raise the question "why would god use evolution and then present a poor description in his infallible word?" If the answer is that it was geared towards the people at the time, why would god need to cater to the relative few then and not the masses for the last 100+ years? And if creation is misrepresented, how can you trust the rest?

evolution is a faith not a fact. that is a fact.
now this is what i believe:
i believe that God created the world in 6 days like the Bible says. i do not believe that God caused evolution to happen because evolution contradicts the 6 day theory

God clearly stated how He created the world in Genesis. If there's anyone who is deceived after that, one has to wonder why.
And is "pheneominum" a newly discovered element? ;OP
