Maybe limitations of known universe inspire some to think, believe and expect that their spirit would not be good enough to endow each and every creature with an alien fractal infernal temporal seed body and an alien divine eternal soul and or not be loving enough to accept conduct of any given creature as good entertainment. I believe from abundance of an infinite one comes abundance of creatures and acceptance of conduct of each creature as good. Rejection of some conduct as bad implies scarcity. Scarcity exists on the material plane where rejection of some conduct as bad makes sense. Rejection of some conduct as bad due to scarcity would imply that the spirit realm is not infinite. Rejection of souls after death of bodies due to some conduct deemed bad implies our spirit made a mistake in creating certain creatures in the first place and therefore is not divine. I think, believe and expect that abundance exists in the spiritual realm. I think, believe and expect there is an abundance of material planes for souls to enjoy. In the spiritual realm acceptance of all conduct as good makes sense.
Maybe some ideological authorities proclaim their good one in Heaven to be none other than an infinite perfect entity such as my infinity divinity eternally one; and yet affirm a belief in a conflict of good and evil in spiritual realm characterized by guilt and rejection of many creatures by an angry, perfectionistic, judgmental good in Heaven. Maybe these ideological authorities are ignorant of the fact that guilt and rejection of many creatures by an angry, perfectionistic, judgmental good one in Heaven logically infers scarcity that is characteristic of a finite imperfect entity. Maybe logical inconsistencies are irrelevant to those who use idea of a spiritual realm divided by a conflict of good and evil as way of achieving and maintaining authority, power, order and control over communities of faithful believers.

The logic in that question is faulty. God created the earth and mankind, along with everything else that lives here. He gave man a free will. In every man there is good and evil. It's up to us to choose the right way to behave. The problem comes from men trying to interpret what is said to be inspired by God. What your question states is to define something that has no way of being defined. There are many things in this life we will never understand.

There cant be good without evil. seriously if there wasnt evil, how could u know what good is. Evil's cause is to show how good and strong God really is. In a perfect world there would be no love. think about it. God gave man free will, and man's disobediance created evil. God will someday destroy evil. But the memory of evil and it's consequences will always remind us of God's grace and love.

The premise is flawed. If God wants to have people understand what evil is so as to avoid it, then this requires evil be present.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

I pick up stuff all the time. I once picked up a paper that said, "I touch little boys." It was a joke but I had to pick it up. lol
The flaw in that statement is that people believe their god does allow evil.

3 months, thats cause your stupid. If the planet stayed as it is and people were all removed, evil would be gone. The natural order is not evil by itself. Evil is associated with mankind not God. Its not that hard, blame yourself not God.

One of the many problems with a supreme being:
If God is omnipotent, why does he allow people from other religions to murder Christians?
If God is omni-benevolent, why does he let children suffer from debilitating diseases?
If God is omniscient, why would he bother to give us free will? He already knows what we will do, has decided to let us do it and whether he will punish or reward us for it.

Gen.2:17, But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Read your Bible, Adam and Eve introduced good and evil into the world. Now of course God new what Adam would do but they had their choice, Just like lucifer the angel who got kicked out of Heaven, he made his choice, God does not want robots, okay, he wants you to love him because he first loved you. 1st John 4:19, We love him, because he first loved us. He created us to serve him, He is a Jealous God, Deut.4:24, For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. Even though we are sinners He still loves us, remember John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shouldnot perish but have everlasting life. You can accept everlasting life today, right now, if you believe in Jesus just say this simple sinners Prayer and start afresh and anew in Christ Jesus, just say Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. Jesus will now send his Holy Spirit to come and live in your heart and guide you into all truth. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

I think God was very kind to us to give us a free will, a choice to follow him or not. What if he had created us and sat on a thrown and day after day, night after night for infinity dictated to us what we should do. Gave us no freedom to do anything that we chose to do. Please, that to me would not be the way I would like for it to be. He wants us to love him by choice not by force. How much do you like being forced to do things now. For instance, how would you like it if you were married and every time you wanted to have sex with your wife she would deny you and you would have to take it. Wouldn't you feel a lot better if she wanted to make love to you willingly, because she enjoyed being with you, and because she loves you unconditionally. I know I would. I don't want anybody to have to be forced to love me. God knew what he was doing and I'll never understand why people can't just except it.

He must be Omnipotent because no one else can create evil and no one ever will besides God The Creator of All things:)
That's my baby.
