There was actually a 19th century guy who noticed this and made up a hypothesis that the reason we see so many signs of long-term natural development of Earth's features (canyons, mountains, etc.) is because God intentionally put fake evidence there, like he did with Adam and Eve's belly buttons. I think he named his book Omphalos, which means navel in Ancient Greek.

Interesting, instead of acceptance, simply invent another hypothesis to "confirm" the likely uncomfirmable.

I get the "scientific" method of it though.
