There are some seriously suspect theological implications to that scenario.

First off: Our flesh is already corrupted because of sin.
Second: It denies the ability of an infinite God to be a savior and pay for finite sin. (Also remember that Mary was not sinless.)
Third: The scenario ascribes some of God's attributes [namely timelessness, and (limited) omniscience] to Satan — Noah was before the Abrahamic and the promise of the Savior given in Genesis to Adam and Eve when they were being kicked out of Eden is totally non-obvious until after the Christ appears and says: the law and the prophets point to me.

I believe, in the evils work of Satan and the Redeeming work of the Messiah and one day, perhaps sooner than we think, Messiah will seal our redemption, those of us that believe, and will destroy the works of Satan and his minions!

Um, seriously? Already happened: the Cross was the Redeeming work, the Resurrection was the sealing and proof thereof.
It is finished was with respect to the Redeeming work, the Resurrection was proof that He really is God and has Life in Himself.
The Resurrection is our hope, precisely because it seals and proves all that Jesus said of himself, but also because it shows that not even Death holds Him: He has authority over all things.

You must be a Politician! No insult intended.

I am not dismissing your post at all but what about the subject at hand.

This was not a theological treatise... it is commentary. Beware confusing the two, for surly your own opinion and commentary may some day fall under the same judgement with which you judge.
