It seems to me that Madam Blavotski's argument is applicable here, We know that Satan isn't fooling us because he was the one offering us knowledge while God was trying to keep us ignorant. I won't get into the 'reasonable doubt' debate, because I reasonably doubt the existence of both parties in question, but I think this is a compelling argument within the context of the hypothetical question.
