This question has always baffled me ‘is God more intelligent or Satan’? I hope you guys can hepl me out…
Pfft, on so many levels.
Sure, I can help. It should be “Is God more intelligent than Satan?”
No need to thank me.
Since this question has no possible factual answer, and I’m not sure that even a Great Debate is possible, let’s move it to MPSIMS.

Any help appreciated.
I’m going to put my money on Satan because the whole thing doesn’t work without him apparently. Plus his peeps don’t seem to be out there doing the hard sell like Gods peeps do. Yeah, definitely Satan.
As an atheist, I assure you that neither exist.
However if you take the Christian Bible it appears that God was not clever in first bringing, then allowing evil into the World.
So Satan wins that ‘contest’.
I am puzzled why this interests you. (In the Middle Ages, believers argued about the number of angels that could dance on a pin head.)
Difficult question to answer.
God has created the universe and all the beings in it. But I’m not really sure if that means that he understand how it all works. If he has knowledgably created all the functions of all animals down to the molecular level, he surely must be the most intelligent. However, it is possible that they were all just created by “magic”, and he doesn’t really understand it at all.
As for Satan, I’m not really aware of what he has actually done. I can only think of the bet with God in the book of Job, the tempting of Jesus. He also manages hell, I guess. All this doesn’t say much of his intelligence.
Also a relevant question:
Can god create a logic puzzle so difficult, that he himself is not intelligent enough to solve it?
However, Satan has managed to tempt mankind into evil for a long time in the presence of an all powerful God who presumeably loves mankind.
Actually, if anyone did at all, it was just one guy (Thomas Aquinas, that cheery old libertine), and it was the point of the pin, bot the head.
Does he actually do this? How does he do it then. Wouldn’t people have seen him, if he attempted?
I can’t answer these questions. You’ll have to go to someone who believes in all the extraneous mythology surrounding Satan. Here is Isaac Asimov’s version from Asimov’s Guide To The Bible.
In the book ** I.Lucifer** he, the Devil, has done away with all the fire, torture, endless agony of hell and instead it’s just a jolly old place with free beer/women/tobacco etc.
Y’see, the reasoning behind this is simple…If God sees and hears all the screams of agony coming from hell then He’s satisfied that sinners are suffering.
OTOH hearing shrieks of joy coming from hell the God is mightily pissed off and Old Nick knows it.
Yep Beelzebub sure got God by the goolies on that one 
Thank you for your assurance. What a load off my mind.
"God isn’t interested in technology. He cares nothing for the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time, forty-three species of parrots! Nipples for men!
Slugs! HE created slugs! They can’t hear. They can’t speak. They can’t operate machinery. Are we not in the hands of a lunatic? "
God loses. 
This reminds me of the remark of biologist J.B.S. Haldane when asked what was God’s most prominent characteristic.
“An inordinate fondness for beetles.”
As to the nipples. Either God or His recorders didn’t even get the order right for who comes first, man or woman. Fetuses start out as female. If there is a sneaky y chromosome in there somewhere, after a certain time testosterone is released and further fetal development is as a male. Every now and then there is a mistake.
What makes anyone say that Satan has any say in the running of Hell? That’s like supposing that Al Capone administered Alcatraz. Satan is Hell’s prisoner number one.
Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say “Fetuses start out as fetuses”? What is there about a pre-sexual-differentiation fetus that would make it any more “female” than “male”?
That’s like asking if Daffy Duck is smarter than the Easter Bunny…
