Easy.
Either the god planted the evidence to test faith, or this is the devil's doing to confuse.

I know that hard core ones will say that but those less sure will question their faith.

Oh how I wish those confessions were true but I'd have to see definite evidence before putting credence into them.
Even though it's fairly evident that the early Catholic church picked and chose which books to include or exclude in the bible, Christians still drone on about it being the "unchanging word of God."
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

This reminds of all those scifi/other-world novels/movies scenarios where you have an entire civilization blindly believing in something and sacrificing their lives/freedom because of this belief. And then the protagonist has to tell everyone that what they believe isn't true and he/she can prove it, and everyone regains their freedom and can do anything they like with their lives.
But of course this isn't going to go down that way.

Bugger me - this should be good.
Of course we will all have to see the quality of his evidence before making a decision. A little bit suspicious that he has a book to hawk.....

We forget who we are talking about here. Facts bounce off of these people, so they will have a 1000 documentarys debunking it in a week, just like they do with evolution.
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.
