Really, then answer for Job...
Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? ... Job38:7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
One day it will be explained to me is all I need to know... perhaps after a few thousand billion years after I catch my breath from shouting his glory enough to listen.

So where in those verses does it imply that God set a stumbling block in creation? God tells Job that He is in control. I think that we can both agree on that.
The Bible mentions a stumbling block here:
"Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles," says 1 Corinthians 1:22-23.
The Bible describes humans as being able to be a stumbling block in several places. For example:
Thou shalt not .... put a stumblingblock (Hebrew: mikhshol) before the blind (Lev 19:14).
The word is a figurative reference to anything that causes someone else to stumble spiritually. I would argue that Young Earth Creationists are a stumbling block to informed people, especially scientists and other technical people. If Christians claim that the earth is only 6,000 years old despite complete evidence to the contrary, why should they believe Christians when they talk about who Jesus Christ is.
You and I probably move in different circles. At work I am surrounded by extremely intelligent people. You would be surprised at how many times I have been talking about the Christian life to people and they say "don't Christians believe that the earth is only 6,000 years old?" It happened to me on a blog just last week. A lot of intelligent people who might otherwise become Christians are put off by Young Earth Creationists who have twisted both the Bible and science in order to preserve their man-made belief in the age of the earth.
God is very clear that He did not put stumbling blocks in His creation.
The heavens are sounding the glory of God; the arch of the sky makes clear the work of his hands (Psalms 19:1).
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse (Romans 1:20).
All truth is God's truth and God did not put any stumbling blocks in His creation. To suggest otherwise clearly goes against what the Bible says.
