Why be so suburban.
Get it inspected before putting up or shutting up.
So it's babbling or genius-
there is but one way to determine proof.
The general concensus provides actual measurements
called "ratings" which are the final answer.

yor reasoning is wrong on this ,our Creator did not do things that way as you say, It was Satan the Devil. who raised the challenge to God when he was able to get Adam and Eve to break God's Law, and, thus, join him in rebellion, against God.(Genesis3:1-6) This provided Satan with the challange:"People serve you only for what they get from you. Just give me the chance and I can turn anybody away from you," Although these exact words do not actually appear in the Bible, it is clear that Satan said something like this to God. This is shown in the Bible book of Job.
Job was a man who lived many centuries after the rebellion had taken place in the garden of Eden. He was a righteous and faithful servant of God. But did it really matter to God or to Satan that Job was faithful? The Bible shows that it did. It tells us about an appearance of Satan before Jehovah God in the courts of heaven. Notice the subject of their conversation:"Now it came about to be the day when the sons of the true God Jehovah entered to take their station before Jehovah, and even Satan proceeded to enter right among them. Then Jehovah said to Satan:"where do you come from?"At that Satan answeredJehovah and said:"From roving about in the earth and from walking about in it," And Jehovah went on to say to Satan:"Have you set your heart upon my servant Job, that there is no one like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, fearing God and turning away from bad?"(Job1:6-8)
Why did Jehovah mention to Satan that Job was an upright man? Clearly, there was an issue as to wether Job would remain faithful to Jehovah or not. Think about God's question, "Where do you come from?" and Satan's reply, "From roving about in the earth and from walking about in it."This question and Satan's reply showed that Jehovah was permitting Satan free opportunity to carry out his challange that he could turn anyone away from God. Well, what was Satan's reply to Jehovah's about Job's faithfulness?
"At that Satan answered Jehovah and said:"Is it for nothing that Job has feared God? Have you not yourself put up a hedge about him and about his house and about everything that he has all around? The work of his hands you have blessed, and his livestock has spread abroad in the earth. But, for a change, thrust out your hand, please and touch everything he has and see wether he will not curse you to your very face."(Job1:9-11),
By his replySatan was making an excuse for Job's faithfulness to God. Job serves you, Satan argued, because of the things you give him, not because he loves you."Satan also complained that Jehovah was using his greater power in an unfair way.'UYou have always protected him, he said. So to settle the issue:"Look Everything that he has is in your hand. Only against him himself do not thrust out your hand!"(Job1:12)
Right away Satan began causing trouble for Job. He had all Job's livestock either killed or stolen. Then he saw to it that Job's 10 children were killed. Job lost almost everything, yet he remained faithful to Jehovah. He did not curse God.(Job1:2,13:22).But that was not the end of the matter.
Satan again appeared with the other angels before Jehovah.
Once again Jehovah asked Satan if he had seen the faithfulness of Job and said"Even yet he is fast his integrity." At that Satan answered:"Skin in behalf of skin, and everything that a man has he will give in behalf of his soul. For a change, thrust out your hand, please, and touch as far as far as the bone and his flesh and see wether he will not curse you to your very face."(Job2:1-5)
In answer, Jehovah gave Satan permission to do whatever he could do to Job, although God said "You are not to kill him."(Job2:6) So Satan struck Job with a terrible disease. Job's suffering was so great that he prayed to die(Job2:7 ; 14:13,14) His own wife turned against him, saying:"Curse God and die!" (Job27:5) But Job refused to do that. "Until I expire I shal l not take away my integriuty from myself!" he said(Job27:5)Job remained faithful. So it was proved that Satan was wrong in his challenge that Job only served God for material gain and not out of love. It was also shown that Satan could not turn everybody away from God.
How do you suppose Job's faithful course made Jehovah feel? It made him very happy! God's Word urges: Be wise my son, and make my heart rejoice, that I may make a reply to him that is taunting me.(Proverbs27:11) It is Satan who is taunting Jehovah. And by his faithful course Job made God's heart rejoice. This gave God an answer to Satan's boastful taunt or challenge that humans would not serve Him under test. Many others have also provided God with such an answer The greatest example was the perfect man Jesus. He held fast his loyalty to GFod despite all the tests and trials that Satan brought upon him.
