Answer: At first it might seem that if God created all things, then evil
must have been created by God. However, evil is not a “thing” like a rock
or electricity. You cannot have a jar of evil. Evil has no existence of its
own; it is really the absence of good. For example, holes are real but they
only exist in something else. We call the absence of dirt a hole, but it
cannot be separated from the dirt. So when God created, it is true that all
