Before you go, think about this…
Some creationists or their less scrupulous supporters are willing to resort to fakery to disprove evolution by proving that men and dinosaurs lived on the earth together. What sort of a God do they have that requires his mortal devotees to fake fossils to defend him? Does he really advocate dishonesty?
