Something like adding a "deceit factor" to the calculations of radioactive decay. And honest god will have a "deceit factor" of zero, meaning that apparent 4.5 billion year old rocks are 4.5 billion year old. A very mischevous and deceitful god would have a big "deceit factor", meaning that apparent 4.5 billion year old rocks are only 6 thousand years old.
