Try linking an actual science site for the sake of discussion, not an apologetic one.

I agree that this film mostly portrays the Bible accurately. Although Satan in this film is not a "human" like you say. Rather, he is a demon who takes on a somewhat human form. In fact, if Satan
was
"just a human" like you are misinterpreting this film's representation of Satan to be, then this film would be doing the opposite of what you are praising it for, by contradicting the Bible.
But I do agree that the Satan actress did a great job.

Think of Satan as kind of legion. He is everything and nothing. Satan is that one guy in the story you have to pin for everything bad while the real culprit sits on a throne being worshipped by peons.
Hell, when you read through the bible Satan is accused by a lot of people, but only actually does very littleand his death count is like 10, tops

Oh, I see what you mean. IMO both types of representations of Satan are valid. The Curry-style Satan focuses more on his debasement, and the POTC-style Satan focuses more on his combination of charm and former beauty and debasement. But both styles are pointing to aspects of Satan that he has, so one style is not "more correct" than the other.

I think I liked it most because Satan is usually portrayed only two ways: big red horned demon goat thing, or the biggest beep businessman who ever lived.

I agree that Gibson did a very good job of presenting a somewhat fresh take on Satan.

Yeah - Satan as 'woman.'

and fascinating in the accusations of antisemitism despite again, it being what is in the book. I suppose Christianity itself is antisemitic.
