Since we're supposed to live in his eyes, why are men so evil? Is it moral evil? Since we have free will, maybe evil is created by humans......
see the thing about evil in this world is (according to the christian belief) that the first humans, adam and eve, were the ones that fell to temptation and by doing so introduced "evil" into the lives of humans. and all humans are born with evil and good.
but evil from the beginning would have to start with lucifer. he was an angel, but he was greedy and wanted to become stronger than God, so he gathered some of his fellow angels and tried to take God's power. God then basically pwned him and sent him to hell. and that's how evil is existent.
there still could be the question of "why doesn't God just get rid of satan/evil?" well it says in the bible that he will, but in due time.
