Satandidit is a member of the main trio of arguments used by Christian[1] creationists when applying goddidit leads to conflicts about some of the perceived attributes of God. (The other two arguments are falldidit and flooddidit.). Satandidit is primarily used when falldidit and flooddidit are not applicable. The argument stems from the story of the angel Lucifer daring to question the will of God and being permanently outcast from heaven. Apparently because Lucifer (later referred to as Satan, although the link crosses testaments and does raise some questions of whether the two names are the same) was a nasty man, humanity will be punished. Seems fair.

[edit] Examples

  • Alvin Plantinga – a serious and widely renowned Christian philosopher whose explanation for animal suffering is, literally, Satanic influence on the evolutionary process.[2]
