Pretty cool, huh? Clearly God put the light of a dying star about 6000 light years away so it would reach us right about now and create the appearance of a star that died 7.5 billion years ago.

Why would a just and loving God deceive us so? For the Lulz, of course. :)

Of course, but let's not forget that they do this often. After all, they did lie about the age of the moon rocks.

I laughed at the vision of God being actually a big prankster, setting things up to deceive the scientists in the future, preparing dinosaur bones to be dug out from proper sedimentary strata etc. I like absurdal humor.
No, I did not actually mean that I like the notion of God faking the universe to deceive us.
*pies Nipeng*
Now you're talking!

Well, in one episode of Star Trek: TNG, Q claimed to be God. I could certainly see Q pulling such pranks.

hmm... this is suspicious...

However, NASA has no reports that any skywatchers spotted the burst, which lasted less than an hour.

and we know how big the universe is?
"This is roughly halfway to the edge of the universe," Burrows said.

Apparently we were doing it wrong with those human sacrifices. He just wants pies.. Oh well that's what God gets for having a crappy PR Department.

One day, God is going to appear and gather His follower to Him. Then He will give them the William Shatner 'Get a Life' speech: http://www.myvideo.de/watch/127096/Star_Trek_TOS_William_Shatner_SNL_Get_A_Life
