The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

The Devil

The devil is not the God of the underworld. He does not get points for steering people away from God. Satan is not a God at all, like the rest of Creation he is a servant/Has a role to perform.

He is so unimpressed by God that he decides to throw a monkey wrench in his plans. We can assume that he knows that the end result of his rebellion against God is that he will be wiped from existence, so he is a fatalist. Or... he doesn't know that God will kill him? Or... he thinks that he can stand up to God and overcome him? He certainly can't expect to reason things out with God if he'd read the Bible beforeha-- ohhhhhh...
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
