Who subjected creation to death and decay?  God or Satan?

On the subject of who subjected the creation to futility, some have pointed to Satan; others to Adam. But neither could have done the subjecting, because the one who subjects the creation to futility does so “on the basis of hope.” He offers hope that faithful ones will eventually be “set free from enslavement to corruption.” Neither Adam nor Satan could offer such a hope. Only Jehovah could. Clearly, then, it was he who subjected creation to futility.

God ultimately has authority and power over all his creation . So God allowed death/futility to enter his creation. This happened much before Adam and Eve's rebellion of eating forbidden fruitnin the Garden that God planted in Eden.

This happened when God allowed death and futility into his creation after Satan rebelled and  took 1/3rd of all angels to earth - Revelation 12:4, which happened after Satan first rebelled in mountain of God and is cut off to earth - Ezekiel 28: 12-16, Isaiah 14:12-17. According to our modern science which is vulnerable to change this happened about 3.5 billion years ago and fall rebellion of satan b/n 4.5-3.5 billion years ago. Also second heaven (outer space) was created some 13.8 billion years ago along with angels and Earth was created some 4.5 billion years ago.

What would be the alternative? Allow living things to reproduce until every square foot of the Earth was covered by living organisms? Of course we would all die of starvation long before that happened.

Keywords "...subject to Gods curse ."

God cursed creation. Satan and Adam caused him to do that. 

The Fall of Man resulted in all of mankind becoming perpetually enslaved to Satan, sin and death. It was a punishment for both Adam and Satan, which God permitted, for a time, until the promised, Holy Messiah/Redeemer would come. 

Paul's letters are not Gospel. Paul was never a disciple or an apostle of Jesus, and all 3 different versions of his Damascus RD. story are fake. He wrongly thought an Apostle was greater than a Prophet which is why he chose to call himself an apostle.

Death is the punishment for sin.  This was decreed by God and He decreed as well that corruption of the body is another punishment for sin.

According to YOUR logic, either God or Satan is responsible for death and decay.

If God did it then he's evil.

If Satan was able to so easily thwart God's plan then God is weak.

Both are silly, superstitious attempts to explain the natural world.
