So ever since the end of season 10, where everyone found out about the Darkness, there's been (at least as far as I can see) a lot of specualtion about how powerful God, Death, and Amara (The Darkness) really are. It doesn't help that the writers have actually screwed up their own canon as they've done going on 6 years now. With that in mind, I have to ask why exactly the word of bad guys or characters who want the good guys dead is being used as canon? Here's what I mean:

Death:

His page has it stated that he is older than God and can rival God. Here's the problem I have. If God created universe before death would've happened in the first place, how could Death be around before humans showed up? Because if the horsemen of the apocalypse are linked to massive conditions of humanity, than Death is not older than God or Amara.

Second, Death himself admitted that he can harm the soul but not destroy the soul, so is he really as strong as God?

Then there's the newcomer to the Supernatural universe.

Amara:

This was a rather interesting addition to Supernatural, first because the idea of the Darkness was used by DC Comics when they made the Great Darkness story arc, where the Darkness was neither good nor bad but had no reason or inclination to destroy anything. However, it only intended to do evil once Etrigan introduced the idea of evil to it. And after it beat the superheroes of DC, God reached out to it and the Darkness accepted it and it became a part of God but never became a true villain afterwards.

On top of this rather odd homage (DC comics actually published the comics based on Supernatural), there's also the fact this the "Evil Darkness" idea was seen in Hercules/Xena universe as well. That being said, the question becomes this: 'is Amara really older than God?' This is a necessary question because the statement of Amara being older than God came from Death, who if we're being honest, can't really be trusted with anything he says about the beginning of creation since he not only wishes to kill, but he likely wasn't old enough to remember anyway. He even said it took God and the archangels to seal away the darkness, but he also said the leviathans were made before the archangels, only to say the archangels fought beside God to beat the darkness, before creation (this is an example of writers not keeping with canon but also pulling stuff out their asses (it's an actual trope you can look up)). So can anyone really trust Death's words?

Then finally there's the big man:

God:

God, as people understand, is all powerful, eternal, knows and sees everything, but we're expected to believe he just came into existence? How does anyone really reconcile that? Death isn't all powerful because he can't create and the same is true for Amara. That being said, why keep trying to put God in a restrictive box?

Also, I want everyone to understand that this is in no way me hating the show. My college major was in creative writing, so I can tell you that when bad writing crops up, especially in a fictional universe that has established laws and such, that it can be easy to point out. I enjoyed the first five seasons, but seasons after ahve been hit and miss. So if anyone feels they'd like to answer, you can but understand this was not to bash the show as a whole but to point out how the writers for the last few years have run it to the ground and to point out how they can't seem to keep things together.
