How can God create anything Evil?

Why do you think a God worth worshiping create Evil to begin with? Simply to test the human race? Or is there any deeper reason behind it?

I will go with "I don't know" option; to be honest, I think the concept of 'God' and anything related with it, is far too complex for us human beings to grasp.

evil was made to bring balance in nature. if we didnt have evil then there would be no value to good. and we wont appreciate good things and preserve them.

if we say that GOD is the Creator and has made everything than he had made good and evil both
its upto us ke wht we adopt
thats my beliefs only

God was bored and had nothing better to do to spend eternity. Hence a little something to spice up the universe. 😈

There is no good and evil, just power. There is the force, you can choose the dark or the light.

Lets think of this in a different context, expanding on what Sandya already mentioned.

Without the existence of evil, there is no value to good. If nothing bad ever happened to us, if we never suffered pain, unhappiness, failure, we would never appreciate what is good. Good would cease to exist as there would be no comparative that makes good what it is. If life never challenged us with adversity would we ever need faith, hope or something to believe in to pull us through.

In Mission Impossible II they say, every superhero needs a villain. Without crime or evil, all our superheroes Batman, Superman whoever would be worthless.

As a matter of fact without the existence of evil, even God becomes a worthless and useless entity. Think about it for a moment, before dismissing it as an extreme idea. Think of how we perceive God as a beacon of goodness, strength, guidance and support. Our very perception of God is defined and created solely by the existence of evil. Without evil God would cease to exist.

Good and Evil are part of the same entity. Two opposing forces negating each other maintaining a balance in the cosmos. Without each other they cease to have meaning, and existence ceases to have meaning. Everything in the universe is part of a supreme cosmic force - matter-antimatter, good-evil, positivity-negativity. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Ashes to Ashes dust to dust, ultimately we all become one with the force.

May the force be with you.

well, just wondering.

What came first ?

Evil or good?

Simultaneous eh?

Well, lets think that through. If you didn't know what "evil" was, how would you define what "good" is? In order to differentiate good from bad, happiness from sorrow, and good from evil, you need to see both sides of the coin - otherwise its meaningless. If God did intentionally created evil, it is only to prove the value of things that are "good". In order to decide what is right and moral, we first need to know what is wrong and immoral. I think its actually a pretty clear cut concept. Think about it this way, don't we appreciate happiness in life even more once we get a taste of sorrow and grief?

Make sense of this if you will.
