Does Satan exist? Or is 'Satan' simply the lack of anything 'Godly'? For example. Cold doesn't exist, it's just the 100% lack of Heat. Darkness doesn't exist, it's the just the 100% lack of light. Does Satan/Evil exist.....or is it just the 100% lack of God/Good?

No supernatural entities exist. No gods, no demons or devils.
Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.
How terrible the bible in particular is:

Yes satan exists, he was the Angel Lucifer and because of his pride fuelled rebellion against the God Who created him he is now the personification of disorder and evil disobedience in the world, God cannot be lacking or He could not be God, to remove God from the equation only makes the mystery of evil more confusing.

I don't believe God or Satan exists any more than I believe Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, or The Tooth Fairy exist. There's absolutely no tangible evidence to support the existence of an almight, all powerful, all knowing, vengeful deity. I just don't buy it.

There is definitely something that persists and keeps things ticking alone. It just so happens that should one do evil they receive evil in return and thus if one does good they receive good in return.
Whatever you want to assign that cause to is up to you. But there are no absolutes in this universe and thus there is nothing truly 100% of anything.

God dose exist and so dose Satan.
I don't understand your concept here. Cold also dose exist it is only the heat that can overcome it, darkness dose exist only light can overcome it, without light there can only be darkness, how can you think it's not there?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, well put.
But I believe in Satan as one entity, who wants his revenge on God, by making what God loves anti-God. To turn against your own father is a hurtful thing, and Satan is very successfull at this. I have a sore eye, and an itchy nose, totally irrelevant, but I do think it needs to be shared.

The Bible says he exists and was casted down from heaven, so yes I believe both G-d and Satan exist. :-)

One of the perks of being an Atheist and knowing a god does not exist is also knowing there is no devil either.
