Have you heard the word of our lord? If I may, here is an excerpt:
"He created the universe and a bunch of planets including Earth. No one but Him was around to see it, but we suspect it was rather dull. The initial creation, obviously, must have been spectacular, but He then spent the next ten to one hundred years painstakingly preparing the universe to appear older than it actually is. Photons were placed individually, en route to Earth, ostensibly emitted millions of years ago from stars across the galaxy. In reality, we know that each photon was divinely placed and red-shifted appropriately to make the universe appear to be billions of years old"
After receiving my copy of the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I was an instant convert.
