Sorry had a crying kid, couldn't make a very long response.

That actually goes in the direction of my belief as well, but then again, my belief structure came from a Catholic upbringing, you can take the man out of the church, but you can't take the church out of the man I guess... ;)

At the risk of beating a dead horse I will rephrase Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things] in a way that might make it more clear

When I create light, I create darkness and when I create peace I create evil: etc. This was demonstrated in Genesis --->

Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Gen 1:4 And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

The Hebrew word translated as divided has this definition according to the Blue letter Bible (www.blueletterbible.org)

1) to divide, separate

a) (Hiphil)

1) to divide, separate, sever

2) to separate, set apart

3) to make a distinction, difference

4) to divide into parts
