i have not read most posts on this thread, but would like to respond to the op's question by modifying it:

god created everything. remember, after every day "he saw it was good."

then satan must have, somehow, created himself. Not so?

so you like talking nonsense about some thing you do not believe in? if i see a topic on keep the red flag flying comrades i would avoid it not try and talk about old joe stalin. i would say try three card brag, sounds a game for you to play instead of bluff poker.

God created everything.
God created genie-kind or demon-kind; Satan was their father, he was called Azazil at the start, then he disobeyed and became the satan or the Devil; at the start he lived in this World and was righteous, then died and his soul went to Heaven: to Paradise, then he disobeyed and was driven out of Paradise.

So then he sent Moses with TEN commandments, and we can't keep those either! Bit of a shallow learning curve there, if you ask me!

Yes, but too little sun and you will freeze to death, and too much water and you will drown - life's a *****, aint it?

Is that last bit sarcastic, or are you just contradicting yourself?
And the OP question was WHY - not DID he.

This is the part of the OP's question that's caused all the problems. I mean, there's no Satan mentioned in MY Bible. The word does crop up--but it is a word and not a name. Hebrew (or, more accurately, Aramaic) for "the accuser." And that does not indicate a particular individual.

Consequently, since there isn't actually a Satan, he (or it) would not have been created in the first place.
