God speaks to us through the Bible and through His natural world. If the literal interpretation of Genesis is true then He is lying to us through his World.
“...then He is lying to us through his World.”
Please explain your claim.
Lying to us through the natural world?
Perhaps the more correct statement, is that it ‘appears to be so, based on our own faulty understanding of what we see and find’.
God does not lie, either in His Word, nor in the world. We see here through a glass darkly, we’ll understand it ALL later.
Wrong. You're interpreting the physical evidence wrong because you don't know all the facts.
Who's the standard of truth here? You, who are a mere mortal with limited capacity to know and understand, or God, the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent designer and creator of the universe and who told us how He did things?
It's disingenuous and intellectually dishonest to accuse God of deceit when the problem is you.
Just because something looks to be true but isn't doesn't make The LORD a liar. People once believed the world was flat because to the unknowlegeable view point it looks flat. We later learned that it is actually shaped more like a ball. Does that make The LORD a liar because ignorant man thought the world was flat and from his limited knowledge and viewpoint it certainly seemed so?
Because things appear a certain way to you but it is not as they truly are does in no way cause The LORD to be a liar. Your first duty is to realize this and search for the truth based upon what The LORD has said and allowed to be written in His Word. If you do this you will have great success and clouds of doubt and confusion will disappear.
