this response indicates how little you understand the Christian perspective. We believe that there is an enemy, Satan, who has knowledge and power, however limited. In any argument, one way to dilute the opponents' message is to create imitations. Since eternity is not bound by time it is reasonable to postulate that an intelligent enemy, one with foreknowledge, would create imitations of what will be, well before the genuine comes into being on a human time line.

And of course, there will always, always be those who will be armed with knowledge of the imitations, claiming proof that, because the imitations preceded the genuine, the genuine also must be untrue.

But, T, you MUST have already considered this and rejected the idea. By the way, God does not need us to do his will, to accomplish his purpose here on Earth. He wants us to, but gives us freedom to choose. His will, will be accomplished with or without us.
