the Lord Jesus said it Himself when the pharisees were boasting that they were descendants of Abraham, that he was their father.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
now, are we all on the same page?

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, God is basically a really crappy dad. He builds our entire world, and all the things that inhabit it, then creates us. He runs around telling everyone he can all about how he made us, how we're all his children, and we should be thankful and worship him in a pointy building with pretty windows. Then, when one of his kids does something bad, suddenly God has no idea where that kid came from. "Nope, can't be mine. Must be some other dude's".
Man... What a great dad.

Yes, I knew that.
1 John 3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.

So you are bestowing the power of God to create life onto Satan? God created Satan and the angels, Adam and Eve, and Jesus. Everyone born after that is a desendent of Adam and Eve. They procreated, God did not and does not anymore create life according to the Bible. If a person chooses to serve Satan, one may call them a child of Satan. That's all. Now we are on the same page. The same hold true for decades, ie...children of the sixties, children of the seventies. Does this mean they were created by the decade?

Yes. Agreed. The children of God and the children of the Devil are manifest by their actions.
