I had once heard in the name of the Chassam Sofer (might have been the Chazon Ish, occasionally I’d mix them up, but I’m 98% sure it was the Chassam Sofer) that things like fossels and carbon dating (which itself is only a theory) were only placed here to fool those who want to be fooled.
Avraham Avinu was able to look at this world and see that it obviously had a creator. R’ Akiva was able to see the niflaos haboreh and take the correct mussar from it.
Hashem looked into the Torah and created the world. The same way that the rasha will be capable of using the Torah to justify his evil behavior, likewise the fool will find proof of his foolish beliefs in the world.
