Some creationists genuinely believe that fossils etc. are all fake, and that they've planted by God so that he can find out who the true believers really are

Well, you can't argue with that level of craziness. I do admire their dedication to psychosis.

Yes i do but finger prints can also be planted too

So you're saying that Dr. Evil travelled back in time and artificially implanted endogenous retroviruses into the DNA of every human so that scientists today would be fooled?

Well, I suppose he'd have to travel to the future first because we don't have that kind of technology. And of course he'd have to take a cloned dinosaur or two back with him to bury.

This is a true fact and but who would be crazy enough to belive it.

Ok but how do you know that no one has done that too can you see in to the future?

Occam's razor slices your "future humanity inventing time travel and perpetrating fraud upon us" hypothesis to shreds, I'm afraid.

After studding physics for a while i found that time travel is possible so you just bend time its self

No offence, but considering you can barely form a legible sentence it's unlikely you have unraveled the mysteries of the spacetime continuum.

And, even if time travel is possible, could you perhaps explain why it is even remotely likely that our descendants would dedicate their time and resources to convincing us that evolution is real?

Honestly, I can't believe I'm even having this conversation.

Here I am, trying to convince someone that magical space men from the future didn't invent dinosaurs.

I asked why it is remotely likely, not what their hypothetical motivations might be.

Why is it more likely than "unicorns did it for fun"?

That is a MOTIVATION, not a logical argument or piece of evidence that would make it LIKELY.

And your idea is not a scientific theory.

I don't. Just like I don't know that invisible fairies aren't dancing around my head, or that a goblin doesn't live in my attic.

But because there is absolutely nothing that suggests the existence of fairies or goblins or time-travelling villains, I do not give the possibility more than a passing thought.
