Maybe he meant "6 proof" as if referring to alcohol. Perhaps he intended to make it very weak.
I agree with LPS that Satan could wreck god's plans by not participating, but his past as described in the Bible paint him as something of a dupe, in the long run. After all, he'd been warned that he would "wound" the Christ, and he did so. Imagine if he'd refused to follow along?
The date: sometime in the Fall of 325 AD.
Jesus: You know, if you'd just cooperate, the Bible would've been assembled right about now.
Satan: Not my problem, dude. So stop bugging me.
Jesus: Come on! Do what you were prophesied to do, already! I'm old, I'm getting a bit cranky, and it's way past time to get it over with. Do you WANT things to continue like this?
Satan: *smirks*
Jesus: Right, forget I asked. Look, you've totally wrecked the schedule and it's really pissing me off--
Satan: Yeah, check it out bro, this is me...
*pauses for effect*
Satan: ...pretty much NOT. CARING.
Jesus: Dammit, listen to me, you despicable little fool!!! I will not--
*Jesus disappears in a puff of smoke*
Satan: *dies laughing*
Universe: *blinks out of existence*
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
