Satan cannot do anything without God's permission. The Book of Job certainly proves that on 2 occasions.
In order to understand what most people claim are the 2 "different" accounts of creation in Genesis is to recognize what we would call the topic sentence in a paragraph with all the other sentences about that topic.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
The 1st verse is the topic and the second verse and thereafter are the verses telling us how the first verse all came about.
When God called for Light; there was evening and morning the first day; thus a 24 hour first day. He could not call it the first day if it was not really the first day. God is not a liar in His words. There was no planet called earth in that first day. There were no constellations in the skies that govern the earth that first day because there was no sun nor moon nor stars whose lights were given to it to mark the times and the seasons for that earth yet to come. The creation of the celestial lights or the heavens did not happen until the fourth day.
The second day, God created the water planet with an upper atmosphere. There was evening and morning that 2nd day. Still the 24 hours day as the first day was.
It was the third day that God created land on this water planet to come forth where there was no land before. In that same day, God created living plants and trees to produce seeds and fruits after its own kind.
That fourth day in creating the sun, the moon, and the stars for the lights to govern the earth that day by His spoken word means He had created the stellar bodies and filled in the gap with its light as He commanded for that light to govern the earth that fourth day. So the speed of light does not apply here for determining the age of the earth when the lights from the heavens were commanded by God to shine on the earth that fourth day.
Each day, there was evening and morning and so there can be no gap theory.
We can attest that as true when the following verses after the first verse is contrary to that first verse BUT when you read the first verse as the main topic as if, of a paragraph and the following verses are sentences explaining that main topic in how this first verse, the topic, came about.
Scriptures were not originally divided in numbered chapters and numbered verses, and so this "topic" actually ended in the 2 nd chapter of Genesis in verse 3 before the second topic was about the generations of mankind rather than how God created the heavens and the earth from that first verse of the Book of Genesis.
Genesis 2:1Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Then comes the next "topic".
Genesis 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
This is a rehash of the sixth day in Creation but more in detail in explaining where all mankind had come from. How do we know this? By paying attention to the next verse below. Do note the
bold part of that verse below.
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and
there was not a man to till the ground.
Mankind was not created yet. So this is really another topic starting in verse 4 about where all of mankind had come from, and it was no ape, but from Adam and Eve.
Those with giant blood in post great flood, goliath one of them, was given adversaries with special abilities empowered by God to defeat them (like David), and I think that Giants are no longer considered a viable method of destroying humanity in satans mind. I think his new method is deception, division, demonic interference, and a new angelic/human hybrid that are not giants physically but giants in intellect, and mind powers (I think he, like scientists talk of, can modify the nature of the hybrids while still in embryonic fluids). I think he molds them into the titans of industry and leaders who try hard pretend their abilities are natural instead of modified.
