God created the Angel Lucifer aka Satan. At the moment of Lucifer's creation he made the decision to rebel. Since Angels are non temporal beings. Hell is the place where Satan and his following angels were cast. I am not aware of any passage that says "who" created hell. I suppose it is assumed that God did since he created everything. (According to those who believe that.) St Thomas Aquinas said it best IMO that hell is where God is not. The soul is infused at the moment of creation by God. Of course this is why the Catholic church has always been against abortion. This is all biased Catholic teaching and has no bearing whatsoever in fact. If you are still curious about these matters might I suggest you ask a priest?

Hi Jason,

What do you mean by this statement?
I mean just what is says. The teachings of the Holy Roman Catholic church and it's associated dogma are bound in mystery and tradition. Not fact. They are beliefs. Just as every sentence in the Nicean creed begins with: "We believe" It is utter arrogance to suggest to a forum filled with agnostics and atheist that biblical writings and mythology are based on verifiable evidence.
