Sorry for taking to long to reply. It took me a while to come up with a good answer. My answer is this: your malevolent Anti-God cannot exist. You yourself admitted that the initial creator doesn't care. Therefore, while human life could have easily evolved, this anti-god- who is not cared about- would not have been created to begin with.

No problem with the delay, this is interesting.

How about some kind of fallen angel. Many Gods are possible, who knows what beings they might create.

"How about some kind of fallen angel. Many Gods are possible, who knows what beings they might create."

But if a god creates beings, that god is going to care about those beings. In traditional Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, Satan himself is a fallen angel. If the God cares enough to create a punisher, would he not care enough to create a set of rules? If he created a set of rules, then he would want people to follow them. We can conclude from this, that if the creator does not care, then there will be no antagonist. This Anti-god/fallen angel/ whatever, cannot exist.
