Answer: Satan does not want the Knowledge of God to flourish in humanity.   

Isn't it interesting that Jesus made the point that He is Truth?   
Isn't it also interesting that Paul said we must "let God be true and every man a liar"?   
Isn't it interesting that the Bible says that there is "science falsely so called"?   

But you say "men came up with these 'facts'".   Here is an over-arching fact: "Men are either influenced by God (truth) or by Satan (liar).   

Eve was influenced by Satan.   Satan did not talk to Adam.   Eve did.   So the influence on Adam was indirectly from Satan through a person whom Satan had deceived.   

We are warned of "lying wonders" that will manifest in the last days.   Technology has made the wonders possible and Satan has made the lying probable.   

You would be wise to discount everything you were taught by secular educators because it has all been tainted with lies.   

Jesus is Truth.   
His Word is Truth.   
His Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth.   

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 1Pe 1:13 We must be strong-minded in our commitment to the Word Of The Lord in order to receive the benefits of Grace and keep the enemy subdued.      While we contend for the faith and the furtherance of the Kingdom Of Christ in this age, we will do so imperfectly but honorably.      Our Hope In Christ is for the redemption of our body and the perfection of our soul.     This will occur at the return of Jesus.      At such time we will be perfected and we will have the perfect Creator, Saviour, Lord and King ruling on this earth.
