If there was no evil than this would be heaven but it's not.

No... evil is missing goodness. It's like taking a hole out of good. You need good as a standard, everything that is not good falls below that standard and is evil. But not the other way around.

It is NEVER good to be evil. However, you a right that in order to classify something as good, that evil must exist as a comparison, and vice-versa. And yes, without one, we wouldn't have the other, not because it wouldn't exist, but because everything would be normal, as there would be nothing to compare to morally.

The first part of your statement is correct. In order for big to exist, small must also exist. However, you cannot apply your theory to be big and small at the same time...
It is not good to be evil. Not on purpose. So, I disagree.

Not true. Without evil good would still exist, we just wouldn't be able to define it. So no, it is not good to be evil sometimes.

Goodness was here before evil, evil came in a suitcase with mankind...God is good, the opposite of God is nothing.

Sure there can be "Good" with out "Evil" Who told you one does not exist without the other? So your premise is flawed, it is never good to be evil, ever!

Romans 6:2 - God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Romans 6:15 - What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Romans 7:7 - What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Romans 7:13 - Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
Romans 9:14 - What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.

Ah, but there WAS good before the fall of Adam & Eve!
It is never good to BE evil....however, God alone can bring about good from evil.
