The Bible is full of ambiguities and metaphors and is open to interpretation, and perhaps that's by design. If it was simple and straightforward, and there was indisputable evidence of God's existence and that we were created by him, we'd be like pet animals, nothing more.
Perhaps the Bible was written by people who were just focused on their times with their needs, fears... etc... and we use our undoubted futile imaginations to wear a multitude of conflicting stories out of it.
I suggest that you forget about the Bible giving indisputable evidence of God's existence because it was obviously written by people with a multitude of different conflicting agendas.
The faithful would hate it if the Bible gave indisputable evidence of God's existence because it would dispense with one of their crutches - the need for faith; it has nothing to do with God treating us like pets.
Why did God allow Satan to torment and test Job?
Good question.
In his book Answer to Job Carl Jung who was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology had a novel take on Job.Jung considers the Book of Job a landmark development in the "divine drama," for the first time contemplating criticism of God (Gotteskritik). Jung described Answer to Job as "pure poison," referring to the controversial nature of the book.[1] He did, however, feel an urge to write the book.
The basic thesis of the book is that, as well as having a good side, God also has a fourth side—the evil face of God. This view is inevitably controversial, but Jung claimed it is backed up by references to the Hebrew Bible. Jung saw this evil side of God as the missing fourth element of the Trinity, which he believed should be supplanted by a Quaternity. However, he also discusses in the book whether the true missing fourth element is the feminine side of God. Indeed, he saw the dogmatic definition of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary by Pope Pius XII in 1950 as being the most significant religious event since the Reformation.
Another theme in the book is the inversion of the biblical assertion that God sent his son Christ to die for the sins of humanity. Jung maintains that upon realizing his mistreatment of Job, God sends his son to humankind to be sacrificed in repentance for God's sins. Jung sees this as a sign of God's ongoing psychological development.
