"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.

good point and distinction

evil has many definitions ranging from immoral characteristics to general calamity. So when the question was asked: “What Is Evil”, I expressed a point of view that (restated) ... the God given conditions that enable and preserve Love & Life are the exception with respect to all things.
