Uhh, billions of years?

The Bible is centered around just 10,000 or less years of total universal history, from what I've seen.

I don't believe that, I'm just explaining the dogma here.

To be totally fair, Satan and the whole pantheon would have existed for essentially infinite time before earth came about, so I think the point still stands

In God's time according to the Bible

Haven't God and Satan canonically always existed?

In some stories, demons (and Satan/Lucifer, their leader) were fallen angels - those who rebel against God and were cast out. This supposedly predated humans, and also means that Satan was God's creation, like all other angels.

So Satan's existence is Biblically fairly recent?
