Aliens?

[Estrid]

I'm not claiming empirical knowledge of anything; merely presenting the historical view of the Christian faith. If you ask me religious questions I'm going to give religious answers.

Analyzing Satan, I'd see him as a character in a book, with
no information to be found elsewhere.

People don't take up that much space (3% goes for urban areas)

Crops do though.
Half of the world's habitable land is used for agriculture

And humans live on 10% of the habitable land.

Urbanization: 95% Of The World's Population Lives On 10% Of The Land

And the data I get is 38% of the land used for agriculture.

Nice He-Man reference.

The idea that the devil is really powerful is an erroneous view. The devil is just a creature, no different than you or me. The devil isn't the evil counterpart to God, God has no counterpart. The devil doesn't have great power. On the contrary, according to orthodox Christian teaching the devil is already defeated, chained up, and waiting his final sentencing.

The devil is a liar. That's it. He lies.

In my own Lutheran tradition our most famous hymn is one written by Martin Luther himself called A Mighty Fortress, and in one of the stanzas we read "one little word shall fell him" speaking of the devil.

Lots of people have extrapolated what the "one little word" is, but Luther himself writes that the "one little word" that slays the devil is the word "liar". Call the devil a liar to his face (so to speak) and he is shown to be the impotent, powerless, underwhelming snake that he is.

Luther also joked about chasing the devil away with his farts.

So you're right, the devil is really inept.

Scripture actually says Satan is god of this world, the kingdoms of the world being delivered to him by adam, called the ruler of the world, who roams around as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, and to steal, kill, and destroy, who has power to put sickness and disease on people, who can even steal the word of god from some people so they don’t believe, and says that believers must put on the whole armor of God to defeat him.

Maranatha

Except those commonly eaten animals are called domestic livestock, and they are bred and raised for food, and don’t affect wildlife populations.

You make a good point. We should be eating far more species than currently we do.

That's two really different readings of the exact same text.

I go with " be kind to animals by not eating them",
but what species would you say people should eat.

God has given us them all to eat.

But the new Vegi-burgers are very good. I recommend them.

Ged has given us them all to eat.

Why would you write Ged if you are writing God in a reply.

Typos happen, dude.
