The greatest trick the devil has played was convincing everyone that god won the war.

Here are my reasoning

One was that god was a created everything and based on the biblical text never destroyed. Miltons paradise lost makes it that rebellion and death were things that were created after satan uprising. Not a creation by god, which one could argue was not in gods nature. For the universe would be a representation of gods self. So we have a pacifist fighting a war with a being that by nature is not.

Second the universe is chaotic and then we have a scripture that tries and create structure amongst the chaos. when it would have been easier to create a system and a manual. Only reason one would create a structure after the fact is the lack of ability to change the universe.
