Ok, I don't claim to be that knowledgeable in christianity, but here's a theory:

According to the Bible "not to be taken literally" God made all and saw that it was good. Then adam and eve show up in the garden of eden. For awhile all was good in paradise, then eve grabbed the apple. I think this symbolically shows that we need something to contrast the good, or it means nothing. So the world changed from paradise to what it is now.

The question is: where did the evil come from? Did god create it or did it evolve by itself as a natural balance like yin and yang? If somebody more knowledgeable in christianity knows I'd like to know the answer.

My guess would be to say that it evolved that way. Lucifer was once the Morning Star, the right hand of God until he changed and became Satan. So what happened there? Did God cause him to change to become a balanced force, or did Lucifer naturally change his mindset.

(This post is getting really wordy but here's a last thought. According to the Bible Lucifer was God's right hand and he aspired to be more so God cast him out. Could it be that since he was God's most trusted, God entrusted him to be his "opposing" force?)
Mindscape Reviewed by Mindscape on . paradoxe to any beleivers here---answer to this question ok heres the things: those who beleive in god, like christians, well u guys beleive in on and only god. we know universe is so big almost infinite, so if theres a god, u guys agree this god is all right? i mean god cant be a person or something with a dimension. god cant be in this galaxy thuesday and monday in another galaxy. so god is all, and we are part of god but also christians believe in satan or many other religions. so if theres a god and an evil, wheres the evil if god is all? u Rating: 5
