A THEOLOGICAL QUERY

If Biblegod is the only way to heaven, and he loved us enough to die painfully for us to see we joined him in paradise if only we believe in him and confess this belief, why on earth didn't he form enough evidence that can be studied by science that contradicts the Bible? Why did he make it so any more-than-casual observer of the way the world is run can see, be the way the world is, that the Bible's way of describing events can't be true.
Anyone would think he was having fun with us. Or he only chooses those who slavishly follow his word despite all the evidence to the contrary, to share heaven with him, that he doesn't want those who use logic and reason and are led away from him. He does call his followers sheep after all.
Or maybe he doesn't exist.
If the true god, creator of all, wrote a book, it would perfectly line with what we know about the way the world is run, it certainly wouldn't talk about unicorns or the earth having a dome over it or insects having four legs or two (or is it seven) of every animal on the planet being fitted comfortably into a boat smaller than a modern-day aircraft carrier. The Bible does. Therefore Biblegod is from the imagination of Bronze Age men who believed such things, given their world-view, were true.
Live with it.
