See? You got nothin'!
Why do you feel the need to call names and be so presumptuous?
Again, the point is not that you choose one or the other... The idea is that 1 and 2 both explain all possible evidence, equally well.
I suspect you still find the Devil unable to account for anything because you're still considering 2 from the perspective of 1. You don't understand that if 2 were true, any evidence which appeared to suggest that the Devil wasn't in charge would be a magic lie or man's misinterpretation. The Devil works in mysterious ways but it will always be according to His plan. We can never fully understand. Sound familiar?
So, here's a challenge. What evidence doesn't 2 explain just as well as 1?
The answer is no evidence. So, then you see the problem. What evidence is left to establish which is true?
