God/Satan/Jesus put the fossils there to make it look like evolution happened to test faith in God/Jesus.

If evolution is true, and we evolved from lesser creatures, why are there still creationists?

How dare you?! Look at the being in the first photo, I assume, based upon the silver hairs around his face, that he is a silverback, an esteemed leader of his society. He works with his flock's best interest in mind. He's in his prime, his physical and mental skills are honed to perfection and the moment he fucks up, someone younger will be there to take his place. He has to be sharp and cautious.
Then we have the bottom picture of a being, who's intent on misleading his flock, especially if it profits him. He's dimwitted, mean, callous and conniving. Only a handful of equally unhinged beings follow him, the rest see him for the dirtbag he is. And as for the family resemblance, look at both eyes, which pair exudes more intelligence? My vote go for the brown ones. So now, apologize to the gorilla!!
Sigh Sad okay. I'm sorry Mr.Gorilla.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

The universe was created 6k years ago. Light from stars and galaxies traveled faster back then... that's why they look like they're older than they should.

I find it amusing that his tie has an apatosaurus on it, or at least something akin to one.

it isn't in our nature to think of a God, it is in our nature to seek answers and the concept of God is most influenced in this world.

1. Cognitive faculties can only be trustworthy if there is a supernatural agency who intended for them to be so (a play off Darwin's private speculation, to paraphrase, "Can we really trust the mind of an evolved monkey?")

2. The logical incoherence of an infinite regress means God did it.

3. Intentionality requires an Unmeant Meaner.
