Demiurge (sh) and pseudomembranous enterocolitis (medicine)


Demiurge (sh)




Subordinate god who shapes and arranges the physical world.

In his dialogue Timaeus, Plato identified the Demiurge as the force that fashioned the world from the preexisting materials of chaos. In Gnosticism of the early Christian era, the Demiurge is regarded as an inferior deity who had created the imperfect, material world and who belonged to the forces of evil opposing the supreme God of goodness.
