  Devil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are some who erroneously claim that the word 'devil' is from 'd'evil' -'of evil.' Some also believe that because the word 'evil' itself is 'live' spelt backward, the word originated through the nature of evil being "against living things," or the antithesis of life itself.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Devil
Here it is clearly taught that the Devil and the other demons are spiritual or angelic creatures created by God in a state of innocence, and that they became evil by their own act.
As may be gathered from the language of the Lateran definition, the Devil and the other demons are but a part of the angelic creation, and their natural powers do not differ from those of the angels who remained faithful.
And even some sins that are purely spiritual or intellectual seem to present an almost insuperable difficulty in the case of the angels.

 Devils Claws
he seed capsules of devil's claws are clearly adapted for hitchhiking on the hooves of large grazing animals; however, with the exception of introduced livestock and people (and possibly desert bighorn sheep), there are few native North American animals living within the present range of devil's claws that are capable of dispersing these large hitchhikers.
It is possible that the range of some large North American grazers, such as antelope, bison, deer and elk once overlapped the range of devil's claws thousands of years ago.
Since our native southwest devil's claw plants are only occasionally found and because they are easy to grow, it is perhaps more ecologically sound to grow your own plants if you desire large quantities of the seed pods.

When "The Devil's Advocate", which stars Al Pacino as a lawyer who is also the devil, began airing commercials for its theatrical release, I remember expecting to hear jokes about how being a lawyer would be an insult to the devil.
Instead, with some excellent performances and enough scares to give me an adrenaline rush, "The Devil's Advocate" is the best film of the year.
