The Answer to the Seven Doubts of the Satan in al–Melal wa al-Nehal1 based on Transcendent Wisdom
2022
The issue under consideration in this article is the objections of Satan, which have been raised in seven titles in order to question the divine wisdom in his actions, and of course they can be considered as the basis for the infidels' doubts about the existence of the divine sanctuary and his perfect attributes which arise on the basis of evil obsession. As for the present writing, by searching in Quranic verses and hadiths of the infallibles (AS), as well as the opinions of philosophers and theologians on the issues raised, it first deals with the brief answer of God to Satan in the form of non-questioning of the god by the servants. And then he has given detailed answers to each doubt in terms of the origin of their origin, and finally leads to the conclusion that everything that God has embedded in the creation of beings, including human and the devil (goblins), including free will, power of reason, divine nature. , The merciful inspirations and even in the opposite point of the presence of evil obsession and temptation and the like, are all derived from the wisdom and purposefulness of the divine creation and the suspicions of Satan and his followers from the atheists can not harm it.

Better to Reign in Hell
2025
A remarkable passage in Tolkien's incomplete Lay of the Children of Húrin, describing the Orc-band after its capture of Túrin, provides an echo of Milton's assembly of fallen angels in Book I of Paradise Lost. The description of the Orc-band also hints at the kind of ambivalence which has often been ascribed to Milton's portrayal of Satan. This in turn provides a connection with recent work on humanity in Tolkien's depiction of the Orcs.

Social wasps are effective biocontrol agents of key lepidopteran crop pests
2019
Biocontrol agents can help reduce pest populations as part of an integrated pest management scheme, with minimal environmental consequences. However, biocontrol agents are often non-native species and require significant infrastructure; overuse of single agents results in pest resistance. Native biocontrol agents are urgently required for more sustainable multi-faceted approaches to pest management. Social wasps are natural predators of lepidopteran pests, yet their viability as native biocontrol agents is largely unknown. Here, we provide evidence that the social paper wasp Polistes satan is a successful predator on the larvae of two economically important and resilient crop pests, the sugarcane borer Diatraea saccharalis (on sugarcane Saccharum spp.) and the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (on maize Zea mays ); P. satan wasps significantly reduce crop pest damage. These results provide the much-needed baseline experimental evidence that social wasps have untapped potential as native biocontrol agents for sustainable crop production and food security.

In defence of Rebel Angel Theodicy
2024
Rebel Angel Theodicy – often called Satan Theodicy – is the thesis that horrendous evils are directly or indirectly caused by angels who disobeyed God. In this article, I defend it, developing Gary Emberger’s suggestion that they influenced the course of evolution. After defending speculative theodicy, I expound Rebel Angel Theodicy and reply to seven objections that explicate the widespread judgement of implausibility: 1. That the existence of angels is metaphysically problematic. 2. That God has no good reason to create angels. 3. That angels have no power to harm human beings. 4. That God, foreknowing the possibility of rebellion, would not delegate to angels the power to guide evolution. 5. That even if there was a good reason for God to delegate this power to angels it is metaphysically impossible for an omnipotent God to do so. 6. That God, knowing of the angels’ rebellion, would subsequently intervene to put evolution back onto the preferred divine plan. 7. That there is no plausible motive for angels to rebel.
