What can oppose God's will? Nothing. Thus, Satan cannot exist.
Actually, plenty can oppose God's will. The question you seem to want to ask is whether God's will could ever be overthrown. And really, the whole matter boils down to whether you believe that history is fixed (everything that happens is supposed to happen, etc.) or redemptive (i.e., God moves in response to His creation, which has free will). If we're going to argue Biblically, I don't think you can argue that man has no influence on creation, since it's pretty clear there are three wills constantly working in opposition to each other. Additionally, this whole notion that God creates us for relationship with Him means that we should have some kind of influence on the Almighty -- hence Moses interceding with God on behalf of the Israelites, etc.
Love and free will are inherently in tension with each other. If you take away free will, there is no love.
The whole notion of open theism/closed theism is a pretty significant one in theological circles, and a fascinating one to consider.
Heady stuff for a Tuesday.
