Why question God of his intelligence? Are you more than intelligent than God.
God did not create evil spirit. It just exist when God created man and woman in earth. The evil spirit just appeared before Eve in enticing her to eat the forbidden tree of knowledge or to go against the forbidden tree of knowledge., the knowledge of right or wrong.
The evil spirit selected to be in the body of the snake, to form as snake in ennticing Eve for eating the forbidden fruit but it is not the true and real snake. The evil spirit has entered into the body of the snake.
So, God have punished the snake together with Adam and Eve..In the story of Miguel Archangel who became satan, the story is this. Miguel Archangel is one of the most trusted angel of God but Miguel Archangel have abused the trust and confidence entrusted to him by God. He wanted to be higher in power than God by doing and creating bad things against God, so God punished him by separating him to God and made him Satan or demon.

At first it might seem that if God created all things then evil must have been created by God. However, there is an assumption here that needs to be cleared up. Evil is not a "thing" - like a rock or electricity. You can't have a jar of evil! Rather, evil is something that occurs, like running. Evil has no existence of its own - it is really a lack in a good thing. 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 that existed was good. One of the good things that God made was creatures who had the freedom to choose good. In order to have a real choice, God had to allow there to be something besides good to choose. So God allowed these free angels and humans to choose good or non-good (evil). When a bad relationship exists between two good things we call that evil, but it does not become a "thing" that required God to create it.
Perhaps a further illustration will help. If I were to ask the average person "does cold exist?" - his/her answer would likely be yes. However, this is incorrect. Cold does not exist. Cold is the absence of heat. Similarly, darkness does not exist. Darkness is the absence of light. Similarly, evil is the absence of good, or better, evil is the absence of God. God did not have to create evil, but rather only allow for the absence of good.

I do not believe that God made evil. I believe God is an omnibelevolent being, infinitely good. God create man another being with free will to worship him and do good out of free will. God did not want automatons but people with free will. Our free will has led us to do evil, yes great evil. But God cannot deny our free will or then we would be pointless robots and the loss of free will is indeed a great evil. I am not sure if God controls our fate either but if god is all knowing he knows all possible outcomes for things.
Another apparent evil is natural phenomenon. Why would a good God allow them to happen. Perhaps they are to test our resolve and faith. But that's really mean B* S*. I believe philosophical that at every instant God is performing an amazing good by preserving mathematics and natural law. If for instance God reversed gravity so that a meteorite would not strike the earth that would be a great evil. If God kept changing the number of sides on a triangle that would be deceitful and evil. I try to believe that God still personally interacts with the world but i have no full understanding of any phenomena. I pray that by trying to live a moral life in recognition of my sins I may get to heaven and truly understand the universe through God.

What we see as evil and hatred is a human perspective, it is not creation of God, but the actions of the people.
Because God allows us three with, does not mean that that permission for us to do is we want to, has created evil.
Notwithstanding that, what we believe is evil, it is only our own viewpoint based on a very limited set of circumstances. If we were to see a larger picture of our life, and our role within society, perhaps will we see that what is actually ultimately for a greater good.
Even the deaths of 32 people at Virginia Tech, may ultimately cause society to make changes that benefit everyone.

Hi and a very interesting question. Firstly, God created us in him image of free will, not as robots. If he had created us as robots we would not know if his way of "goodness and non-evil" was the best way. Soon, however, the time for mankind to realize this will be over as Armageddon will be here to destroy the wicked in the earth. There is a short time left to "get your act together" so you can be counted with the living after Armageddon on a paradise earth free of evil, but as far as God creating us like robots not being able to see and choose freely our conduct, this would not be fair to mankind at all. Now intelligent people can clearly see that a society with no evil is the way to go, so don't think that God has deserted you. He has not. Here are some scriptures to help you understand why this system of things is the way that it is presently. Be sure to pass on this good information to others so that they will understand God's purpose for mankind and why evil is permitted. Pretty soon, it won't be permitted any longer. This will be at Armageddon, God's war against the evil and wicked within the earth. As we can see that time is not far off. Read these scriptures as I have outlined them below.
James 1: 12 - 15
Happy is the man that keeps on enduring trial, because on becoming approved he will receive the crown of life, which Jehovah promised to those who continue loving him. When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone. But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death.
2 Peter 3: 8 - 10
"However, let this one fact not be escaping YOUR notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. Yet Jehovah’s day will come as a thief..."
I wish you well and keep up the faith...this sick old system won't be around much longer. Stand even in the face of your ridiculers because they are lost and blinded by the devil.

God is completely good. No evil s found in Him. Therefore He didn't create evil or hatred. He did however create a means by which His creation could reject Him and His love. If that were not so all He would have is automatons repeating a prerecorded line "I love God, I love God"... Jim

Well, Im not exactly sure if Im correct on this, but the Lucifer, the devil, sinned when he wanted to be as powerful as God. He wanted to be God and wasnt satisfied being an angel. I dont think that God created it. But thats what I believe. I could be totally wrong about that. But cold is the absence of heat, does that mean that God created cold. Evil is the absence of good. Since God did not create cold then He did not create evil, but thats my take on it. And if He did create it, I believe it was all for freewilll. He didnt want us to be forced to love Him, but by our own choice.
Hope I fullfilled your question! God bless

God did not create evil, the creation created the evil, and the hatred, we ourselves are to blame not God.

I don't think God "created" evil. I believe evil is, in itself, rebellion against God and that all evil stems from this. God made us to have the capacity to choose Him or to reject Him as He did not want puppets but He wants children, sons and daughters. So our rebellion against God is, in itself, the evil. Satan was an angel that rebelled against God. God knows good and evil but because He is perfect, He is only good and can not be united with anything evil. We on the other hand are not perfect and we many times do what is evil (sin) and so God came down as a man (Christ) to die on the cross and to rise again from death victorious so that our sins would be washed away forever and we would have eternal life united with Him if only we will accept this act of perfect Love and follow Him. That's how much He Loves us.

God created Jesus...no evil was ever found in either of them. Together they created the angels, heaven and earth.
One of those angels tricked Eve into disobeying God. He lied to her and called God a liar.
He didn't stop there. He was responsible for Adam disobeying, and for 1/3 of the angels turning away from God and following Satan.
All the while walking about heaven enjoying God's company. But Jesus threw him out on his ear and would not let him back in. He was cast down to the earth. So we sit here wondering why there is so much trouble in the earth. It's because Satan and his millions of fallen angels...demons...are looking to get us all away from serving God. He knows soon he will be destroyed and he wants to take as many of us down with him as he can.
So when you see shootings at colleges, mothers killing their babies....grown men raping small children then killing them....families breaking up....children running wild...it's because Satan is the ruler of the world. He proved his position by offering Jesus all the kingdoms if he would do just 1 act of worship to Satan. Even one digression would make Satan glad.
But God holds a hope for each human.
God is going to make the earth a paradise where we will dwell in peace and security and only the righteous will live.
Yes you could do this. A bible study will explain it in detail to you.
