So you are saying that God created a fake universe. One designed to appear much older than it is
Why would He do so?
It only “appears much older than it is” if you buy into the evolutionist/Big Bang interpretation of what you are looking at. It’s not “fake.” It looks the way it should look. You can believe that it looks the way it does because of flawed ideas. But the Bible is VERY clear about how all of it was created and why.
