Satan is trying to trick you with dinosaur bones

Objection
"Satan is trying to destroy your faith by placing dinosaur bones in the ground to contradict the Bible."

Counter-apologetics

 * It's begging the question, assuming atheists haven't already "thought for themselves", and examined the evidence.
 * It's begging the question additionally, assuming there's a god to "test" us, at all.
 * The claim is not falsifiable, and thus cannot be considered within a scientific context.
 * It's in violation of Occam's Razor, in that the simpler explanation is that dinosaurs died and fossilized, without an additional agents and motivations.
 * It's accusing atheists of engaging in the argument from authority. Accepting the claims is based from evidence and skepticism, not because "experts" said so.
 * Given a choice between evidence and logic-based claims by experts, and no-evidence and illogical-based claims from religious sources, it's a far better choice to go with the evidence.
 * There is no evidence for the claim and one might as well say that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is trying to trick them with the Bible.
