Satan didn't place the "fossils" there.
"Scientists" did, in the hope of gaining false-fame.
Unfortunately, it worked for them.

"Fossils" are carved from rock, or some are made of plaster.
I have even been told of one case where a skeleton was carved from old soap.

I would love to see this guy attend a fossil dig, watch people uncovering and opening the rocks to the fossil impressions therein, and then try to claim with a straight face that "scientists" laced the interior of the whole rock layer with fossils before, say, a highway was built over it (i.e., possibly even decades before the scientists involved with the job were even born).
This guy needs to see those Baltic limestones where you find a cephalopod shell every couple decimeters in every direction. My grandparents bought a few hundred kgs to decorate their garden, and there's probably over a hundred shells just on the sides of the rocks you can see. Plus a lonely little trilobite.

Hey, Thomas. Do yourself a favor and visit the shale-mountain areas around the Finger Lakes in New York, dig out a few chunks of shale and tell me what you find. *gasp* What are all those bugs and shells 'n crap that feel amazingly like rock? Surely, scientists must've taken hundreds of years in collaborative effort to shove all those shell- and bug- shaped rocks in there.
Oh yes you caught us that's the big conspiracy, the scientists planted their own fossils.
What exactly would they have to gain? Is it because they just didn't like going to church so they had to fake fossils?
Moron.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
