Can God create pumice ex nihilo tomorrow without deception?

I am not sure what you are getting at either, but an omnipotent God can by definition do anything he wants.
Thank you, Sarah, for an honest answer.If an omniscient god exists, I guess so. Creating in and of itself isn't deceptive.
Not sure what you are trying to get at here; making something to look old and making it out of the blue are two different things.
The clincher in my challenge though is: "without deception."I am not sure what you are getting at either, but an omnipotent God can by definition do anything he wants.

Exactly where is the deception in creating something?
Most "educated" people here will conclude that a literal Genesis 1 would constitute deception on God's part.Exactly where is the deception in creating something?

Just for the sake of argument, let's just suppose that God really did create the Earth only 6,000 years ago.
Then, in spite of the fact that it is only 6,000 years old, everywhere you look there is evidence that it is much much older.
So what did God think he was up to in planting all that false evidence? Was he deliberately trying to deceive us, and, if so, why?
God also kills children, so I don't see why god can't be deceptive. Killing kids is a lot worse then lying, in my opinion.
God kills every single one of us sooner or later.
To talk about what God does is to presuppose he exists, even if just for the sake of argument.
So, if God exists, and he brings somebody's physical life to an end, what's the big deal? There is an eternal life hereafter.

For instance, if God created our sun as a G-class star, in an instant, what features would it have to make it appear as though it was just created in an instant?
To make it look as if it was created only 6,000 years ago, its spectroscopy would have to indicate that it contained next to no helium.
