That could well be one of his many tricks.
He would have to exist for that to be true. The Devil is a trick created in the minds of fearful men who themselves are capable of anything from the most selfless act of genuine love to the most heartless incarnation of pure evil.
I was playing devils advocate. You see the thing is this, as you know after many long winded discussions on the topic I believe evolution is a fact but not necessarily the father of all things. Not a big fan of random chance being the designer.

I do believe in good and evil as it plays out daily all around us. Or should I say what [we] as a species for the most part have deemed good and evil. It could also be normal I suppose that we all are sociopaths. Based on evolution I mean. Stands to reason. Nature has no good and bad. That is a human concoction. So why do we have it?

Lets suppose for the sake of argument that even when one totally discounts the God that is represented by religions the possibility of an outside power beyond our comprehension still exists. If you accept that possibility then it could also follow that this power whatever it is fully understands the concept of good and evil even if its an equation.

Now if such powers exists and again forget about our bastardization of it through religion then it is also possible that it is involved with a struggle which of course would also be on a level beyond our full understanding. So it could be that buried beneath our misrepresentations in religious text there could be a battle for our souls or consciousness. Too win us over. It may be on a matter-antimatter level. Obviously whatever this is, it is no doubt self aware.

Lastly, its possible then that one power in the link is stronger then the other but the weaker one can almost equal the stronger. Can’t quite do the create something from nothing act. So it uses a little magic. What better way to steal humankind and win the bet then create a system of footprints pointing to origin? Who knows? Perhaps its a rinse and repeat exercise and we are not even aware of it

Mull that over friend
