's is not required because Satan's existence means existence belongs to Satan which is not my meaning.

Don,
Satan is oneself's desire in buddhism.

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.
Love and blessings

Satans are just the fallen angels or people with bad behavior something like the nasty atheists always trying to convert the religious people to atheism. But the Vedas describe their position as temporary. Only in the human form of life one creates karma. According to good and bad activities one gets particular bodies and one can be that of a satanic. When the results of acquired karma is over, just like when ones bank balance becomes almost empty, one again gets a human body to generate new karma. Only when one decides to not generate anymore karma by spiritual activities , one can attain self-realization and go back to the kingdom of God. Evan the satan can attain this sublime destination.

Yes, read YA questions/answers. And also look at the suspensions for challenging some ungodly activities.
Also look at the middle east and their activities in the name of Allah.

I don't think you can SCIENTIFICALLY prove it, but how can anyone look at this corrupt world and believe him not to be a part of it? The news is all the proof I need.
