like for example, science logically states that if matter exists,anti-matter is also existant which means that for every reaction there is the contrary reaction to it

That is one way to look at it. The "can't have one without the other". But, try this:
Scientifically speaking there is no such thing as cold. There is simply heat energy. Heat energy being defined as a system's particle kinetic energy. More energy the hotter it is, the less energy the less hot or "colder" it is. But it is still heat energy.
Scientifically there is stuff called electromagnetic radiation. It propagates through space in set quanta called photons. This is what we call light. Now, in a given area of spacetime, if there are lots of them, it is light, if there are few, it is less light or "dark".
So, one thing may not mean there is a need for another different thing, it may just be a smaller amount of the original one thing. Someone may not be necessarily evil, they may just not want to have a whole lot of good in their life.

Allegedly this argument took place between a professor [can't have one without the other] and student [there is only one, just in differing amounts]. I forget who the professor was, but the student was purported to be Einstein. This whole scenario is just rumor and possibly Einstein was used as the example since he was not only a well known physicist, he also was very active and outspoken in social causes.

Science doesn't deal with evil. That is totally subjective or just opinion. Calling dark evil is also subjective.

The law is for every action there is a equal reaction. That only applies to needing force to move an object. It doesn't mean that all things have some sort of contrary or opposite.

Science has no concept of "evil", although psychology generally recognises dark as promoting fear in most people. Sceicne simply defines dark as absence of light. Sciecne by definitoin cannot deal in the metaphysical.

You are getting your science wrong. For every action there is a reaction simply means that if I psuh on something, it will try and push back (which is why if you push on a wall, you get pushed- the wall weighs mroe so its push is stronger than yours).

Antimatter doesn't exist because matter does. It's simply a different sort of matter that happens to annihilate with normal matter.

Are you talking about light being associated with good and dark with evil? Humans have decided that over the past 30,000 years because the human reaction to light is a feeling of safety, because light provides sight and sometimes warmth. In the dark, you can't see, so it creates a feeling of panic, loneliness, and sometimes cold. That's where you get "fear of the dark" and "the monster under the bed." Or "the light of Christ" or the concept of evil things--vampires, for example, coming out only at night, and shriveling away at the light of the sun. So, the only deep science about this is the human reaction to the stimuli of light and darkness.

Science doesn't "believe" in metaphysical associations. Moreover, science was science even before anti-matter was known, so there is no a priori logic that there is a duality of concepts.
Finally, the matter/anti-matter has nothing to do with Newton's reaction/equal and opposite reaction. So don't saddle science with your logic (or lack thereof).

Light is used as a metaphor for truth. As such, it has no connection with electromagnetic radiation. The rest of your question is either incorrect or illogical.

there is no way to really define evil in a scientific way..... evil is studied in philosophy and sociology....

i don't think the physical sciences answer that question. it's psychology.
