You are right, Satan is not a Creator.
You are right, Weeds do have purpose in a dysfunctional world.

You suggest GOD created this serpent as a tester, doing RA for a functional purpose. Jesus words in John, do not suggest this idea. There is nothing functional about a dysfunctional Being, doing the Father's will. You have pointed out the Father can make some good come out of dysfunctional aspects of our living under RA, this is another topic.
I love this statement - there can be nothing functional in doing God’s Will
God's Wrath on Unrighteousness
Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Know the truth, but deny the truth
Rom 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
YES! – Einstein – the atom – Heisenberg – Plank – string theory – mutli-dimensionalism - our reality might be a holographic projection in someone else’s game - and even the most recent archeological discoveries – young DNA recovered from dinos – UFOs aliens
YES! All 100% scriptural validation – scientific talk of ‘intelligent design has been with science before Darwin’
Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
But has science moved us toward scripture – NO
Why? Because science is a man-sport funded by man and therefore SELF driven
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
There is no denying it – since WWII the world has looked to America for leadership
Freedom = Freedom of expression = Freedom to be different
One of America’s biggest exports to the world = world class education
Creation is replaced by the Big Bang and Evolution is taught to our children before pre-school
In Fact the theory of Evolution is the embodiment of SEL – it is all me – grab as much as I can before I die
The Prophesy of Roman 1 is directed at
1 - each individual
2 – the culture there are from
3 – the nation they are from
4 – and the religious culture they are from
What a parallel with Adam and Eve
Their Free Will Freedom allowed them to make the choice – status quo or be different
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Adam and Eve became moral creature and a slave to toiling the ground – pain increased in childbirth
Post WWII America and then spreading to the Western Culture
Question #1– if God does no ra – then why does He give an entire culture up to unclean thoughts?
Gen 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
Question #2 – how can anyone turn on a TV and deny the truth / validity / of the LGBT
Therefore – how can anyone deny the truth / validity of scriptural prophesy
