Good points Metatron, I've thought about this before.
Universal sovereignty is not mentioned in the Bible, Satan is not even mentioned until the account of King David's census returns.
I have never advocated man rule, but it seems as if the human race was set up to fail.
1) Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad - why was it put there? A simple test of obedience or a signal that rebellion was already brewing in heaven?
2) Original Sin - we now had a limited lifespan, falling from 960 years to 70/80 years, although this has improved. But you never live long enough to really be an expert at anything.
3) Inherited sin - none of us asked to be born in sin.
4) Devil and demons influence - what right do they have to influence our civilization?
Humanity was set up to fail, I never saw it as a fair test.
