Well, the tablet wasn't lying it just omitted a few critical parts. While the IT did create the dream advertised, it didn't mention God: Nativity of a World of Trees slowly killing people. In a way the Juubi was the salvation of the Uchiha clan, since Sasuke was reformed by the events. But more than that, the Uchiha never had as much agency as when they chased the Juubi. They just chose to use that agency in shitty ways.

We know that's not how he was created so what was up with that, you'd think even a senile Madara would notice or something? Probably some clever trickery by Zetsu. It's possible that Zetsu possessed Madara (or in some way coexisted with him) and simply made Madara believe some of Zetsu's powers were his own. We've seen that he can show memories to people, so it's possible that Zetsu used that power to make Madara see imagined things. Plus, Madara's arrogance made him believe nobody could betray him, so it's likely he simply never thought to doublecheck Zetsu.
