God did not create evil. Man chose to disobey God (sin) and continues to do so. That is where evil comes from. Could God have prevented it? Yes, but God gave man free will. Man has free will to choose good or evil. You all are so intelligent, but overlook the fact that God is the One who created everything. Some things are too complex for our finite minds, that is why God made salvation so simple and easy that even a child can understand it. It is a free gift. All one has to do is accept it.
