Re: No Deception Atol.
Before I read up to PaulK's response, I had already planned to reply in the same vein. What if the corn showed effects from the dry spell from several weeks earlier when it didn't even exist (dessicated kernals, for example)? Or what if it showed the effects of an insect attack that occurred when locusts move through the area several weeks before?
In other words, what is the Christian perspective on evidence put in place for no other purpose than to give an appearance of age that does not in reality exist?
I assume the answer is one that has neither evidence for or against: that we cannot know the true reasons God did this, but that the intent was not to deceive because God would never lie.
