The counterpoint was that if this was the case then God is the greatest
of all liars, since he has then perpertrated a massive fraud upon us all.

I guess I have a different point of view on this.
God creates the universe and all that is in it and tells us (reveals to us) that He did it and provides enough specifics in history to determine approximately when this happened.
Man rejects what God says and determines that he can discover how the universe came to be without God's help.
Man comes up with an answer that contradicts what God says.
Man determines that he is correct and God is wrong.
Based on man's determination, man accuses God of dishonesty by deceiving us with His creation.
Isn't man brilliant...in his own mind?
