You should know this. God is never wrong; He's infallible. Humans created evolution. Charles Lyell/James Hutton created uniformitarianism and Charles Darwin created ToE in the 1850s. Prior to that, evolutionary thinking and history were created by Epicureans, Stoics and those opposed to creationists.
I'm not sure what chemicals you are taking, but the Bible states Satan is the "god of the world and prince of the power of the air." He is a fantastic liar and master trickster to such a point that he may have even fooled himself.. Perhaps, you, too, have had the wool pulled over their eyes because of evolution and false science. If evolution was important or a fact, then we would all know it and accept it. Many of us do not need it to live a life a joyful and honorable life. If you're a student, one can learn it to pass the test and then forget it. It doesn't happen. None of it is observable, demonstrable or falsifiable. This includes its history and thinking which came long before ToE.
Dr. Henry Morris states,
"Its top was a great temple shrine, emblazoned with zodiacal signs representing the hosts of heaven, Satan and his 'principalities and powers, rulers of the darkness of the world' (Ephesians 6:12). These evil spirits there perhaps met with Nimrod and his priests, to plan their long-range strategy against God and his redemptive purposes for the post-diluvian world. This included especially the development of a non-theistic cosmology, one which could explain the origin and meaning of the universe and man without acknowledging the true God of creation. Denial of God's power and sovereignty in creation is of course foundational in the rejection of His authority in every other sphere. . . . If something like this really happened, early in post-diluvian history, then Satan himself is the originator of the concept of evolution.
"One question remains. Assuming Satan to be the real source of the evolutionary concept, how did it originate in his mind? . . . A possible answer to this mystery could be that Satan, the father of lies, has not only deceived the whole world and the angelic hosts who followed him--he has even deceived himself! The only way he could really know about creation (just as the only way we can know about creation) was for God to tell him! . . . . He refused to believe and accept the Word of God concerning his own creation and place in God's economy . . . He therefore deceived himself into supposing that all things, including himself and including God, had been evolved by natural processes out of the primordial stuff of the universe. . . ." (Morris, Troubled Waters of Evolution, 1974, pp 74-75)."
One thing we know for sure. Satan believes in God. If there is a weakness to Morris' thinking, it's he makes a lot of assumptions of God telling Satan what he did. Thus, it may not be based on what the facts were since that isn't in the Bible. That said, we know evolutionary thinking started in the early times long before Hutton, Lyell and Darwin, so it must have a source. It could just be the Epicureans or Stoics or others.
Even today, the libs continue to make up stuff about the Tower of Babel -- How climate change caused the world's first empire to collapse.
Here's more about the the Tower of Babel and King Nimrod if you're interested -- Tower of Babel - Wikipedia, Nimrod - Wikipedia. We also have the Bible. The story of the Tower and City of Babel is found in Genesis 11:1-9. The setting given for the account us on the plain of Shinar to the final line where the city is identified with Babel. It is clear that the events recorded took place in ancient southern Mesopotamia on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River.
Babel was founded by King Nimrod, according to Genesis 10:9-10.
Up until this point in the Bible, the whole world had one language, meaning one common speech for all people. Hebrew?
The people of the earth had become skilled in construction and decided to build a city with a tower that would reach to heaven. By building the tower, they wanted to make a name for themselves and also prevent the people from being scattered.
God came to see their city and the tower they were building. He perceived their intentions, and in his infinite wisdom, he knew this "stairway to heaven" would only lead the people away from God.
God observed what a powerful force their unity of purpose created. As a result, he confused their language, causing them to speak many different languages so they would not understand each other. By doing this, God thwarted their plans. He also scattered the people of the city all over the face of the earth.
Is there archaeological evidence of the Tower of Babel?

The Tower of Babel - Bible Story Summary
Tower of Babel Story: The Perils of Unity, Pride, and Purpose
How does Satan come into this? We saw after the fall with Adam and Eve, Cain killed his brother Abel. Wouldn't this be a time when Satan would come into play once again?
King Nimrod came into existence shortly after the Flood and that humans had not yet organized themselves into nations. Nimrod became "king in the land of Shinar (Assyria/Mesopotamia), was, according to the Book of Genesis and Books of Chronicles, the son of Cush, therefore the great-grandson of Noah. The Bible states that he was "a mighty hunter before the Lord [and] .... began to be mighty in the earth".[2] Extra-biblical traditions associating him with the Tower of Babel led to his reputation as a king who was rebellious against God. His gain in power and self-glorifying behavior fueled his desire for revenge against God for destroying his ancestors.
"Josephus wrote:
Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it were through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness. He also gradually changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his power. He also said he would be revenged on God, if he should have a mind to drown the world again; for that he would build a tower too high for the waters to reach. And that he would avenge himself on God for destroying their forefathers.
Now the multitude were very ready to follow the determination of Nimrod, and to esteem it a piece of cowardice to submit to God; and they built a tower, neither sparing any pains, nor being in any degree negligent about the work: and, by reason of the multitude of hands employed in it, it grew very high, sooner than any one could expect; but the thickness of it was so great, and it was so strongly built, that thereby its great height seemed, upon the view, to be less than it really was. It was built of burnt brick, cemented together with mortar, made of bitumen, that it might not be liable to admit water. When God saw that they acted so madly, he did not resolve to destroy them utterly, since they were not grown wiser by the destruction of the former sinners; but he caused a tumult among them, by producing in them diverse languages, and causing that, through the multitude of those languages, they should not be able to understand one another. The place wherein they built the tower is now called Babylon, because of the confusion of that language which they readily understood before; for the Hebrews mean by the word Babel, confusion ."
