Right, Bro Steve,
I am on another Forum, where most believe that everything that happens is in the control of God. Even murder, rape, war, abuse, etc.
That would make God the Author of evil, which we know He is not.
And you are right, ever since Adam and Eve was deceived by Satan, the spirit of this world, run by people full of the 'spirit of this world' belongs to Satan.
Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Every person born since Adam is a child of the devil, until they are born again.
So, yes Tim, this world belongs to the Devil. And we are just Pilgrims and Stargers here, until Jesus takes the Kingdoms back from Satan.
