Re: How did the universe start?
The most realistic model is that the Universe never started. Let's assume that before the Universe there was completely void, no chemical element exists anywhere in this infinite void (because if it existed then that would represent the `Universe` already). How would the infinitely dense point of matter appear if there is no matter? This is why I think Big Bang cannot be possible because the promotors themselves admit that they cannot predict what happened before Big Bang, which makes it a theory as realistical as the Universe created by the judeo-christian god. It is the same concept, how the judeo-christian god created the Universe if there was no matter? Christians are threatened with eternal hell if they dare to question this belief. In the same time it's also difficult to imagine that the Universe existed forever, that it never had a beginning,

Was there life before Satan?
If you mean life on Earth before the Gods came, apparently there are many sources and also evidence that a few intelligent civilizations existed hundreds of thousands and millions of years ago. A scientist and millitary that I was watching before was saying that these human races represent `the 4th or 5th civilizational wave`. The evidence that would prove the existence of older intelligent civilizations are tools or artificial metal objects. Here is one example:
Is this a 300 million-year-old screw or just a fossilized sea creature?
But as other member was saying, to consider whether there were other advanced civilizations on Earth before us is just speculation because no scientist or acheologist can tell this for sure. However what is known is that many artificial constructions reside on the bottom of the oceans, there might be a chance that some of them are older than the ancient civilizations. The most optimistic sources say that humanity knows what is inside the oceans only up to 15%.

The purpose of Satan? I would say, as any other living intelligent civilization, the purpose of the Gods is: preserve the civilization, grow and expand in power, territory and technology. That's what humanity tries to do as well, the problem is we have an allien race that for thousands of years try to stop humanity from advancing.

Can you prove Satans history/story?
If you mean Satan's history on Earth, we already have proven that Satan was the supreme and rulling God in most ancient civilizations. This is showed by name similarities between different civilizations, by similar symbolism, similar spiritual practices, also same Gods. One example, if you wonder why the jewish invention ISIL/Daesh have persecuted and genocided thousands of yazidis, is because in Middle East many people consider them to be `satanists` and therefore `evil`, or the `devil-worshippers`, because most people know their God Melek Taus is Satan.

But it is the sad fate of the Yazidis that the story of Melek Tawus has eerie parallels with the story of Shaytan, the fallen jinn (genie) of Islam who is known in English as Satan. According to Yazidi tradition, Melek Tawus was told by God-Khuede not to bow to other beings. Then God tested Malak Tawus by creating man out of dust and ordering Melek Tawus to bow to Adam. Melek Tawus replied "How can I submit to another being! I am from your illumination while Adam is made of dust." After forgiving him for rebelling, God made him the ruler of earth after he cried for 7,000 years to extinguish hell with his tears.
Unfortunately, in the Islamic tradition, Shaytan or Iblis was a jinn who similarly refused God's order to bow down to Adam. For this sin of pride, God-Allah cursed him and expelled him from heaven to earth. Starting in the fifteenth centuries, surrounding Turkish and Arab Muslims came to equate Melek Tawus, the primary being worshipped by Yazidis, with Shaytan the Tempter. Thus began centuries of slaughter and persecution that saw the Yazidis flee to the mountains of northern Iraq.
You probably know already the abrahamic religions depinct Satan and the other Gods in a totally negative light, antagonists of the hebrew god.

Do you find it silly that the science says that the planet earth is billions of years old?
I don't know to tell if this is true or not. If they are lying with this, I don't know what they win from it. However they claim they estimated this age using technology
The age of rocks is determined by radiometric dating, which looks at the proportion of two different isotopes in a sample. Radioactive isotopes break down in a predictable amount of time, enabling geologists to determine the age of a sample using equipment like this thermal ionization mass spectrometer.
https://www.nationalgeographic.org/article/how-did-scientists-calculate-age-earth/
Obviously there is known technology and scientific practices like estimating the half-life of a reaction or element, which help estimating the age of that element, but I find it unlikely that these practices can estimate ages to the order of billions. What is even more crazy is that there is apparently evidence showing that the dust on the surface of the moon is 1 billion years older than Earth using carbon dating. There are things we can never accurately estimate in my opinion.
