[Gene Eric]

You’re life on Venus would be brief and painful. Few places on Earth could you survive for very long unclothed, unfed. Then there are sharks, bears, poisonous snakes, car accidents, heart attacks, disease, cancer, war, govt, etc. And not to forget the pernicious humans that, for most people, define what it means to be evil.

If we agree that evil is the destroyer of life and innocence, then the vast expanse of the Universe and all that it contains is in fact evil.

God gave us the means to live and love — the gift opposing evil.

[ShadowAce]

"Existence," as you generalized it, is a creation of God. One that He called Good.

Sin corrupted that. As a result, natural dangers today (sharks, bears, poisonous snakes, car accidents, heart attacks, disease, cancer, etc) are considered evils.

However, those *affect* existence--they are *not* existence.

Existence, as a generalized concept, is not evil.
