apparently our ancestors separated from monkeys later than was thought.

Are you still in touch with his side of the family, or did you stop talking to them after one of them did a crap in the punch bowl?

But Satan switched God's fake fossils with his own fake fossils to make us even more confused,

So when satan puts fake fossils in the ground he's deceiving us,

but when god puts fake fossils in the ground he's testing our faith.

I get it now, makes perfect sense.

Both of these views are wrong. The whole earth was covered by a flood and many of the lifeforms destroyed in it became fossilized rather than decaying as they normally would. But Satan did make people believe that the flood never occurred so they had to find a new explanation for the fossils. Eventually they came up with the theory of evolution and said that the fossils were evidence of the truth of the theory.

His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
