Regarding Adam and Eve, that kind of "evil"/natural calamity could not have happened.

And yet they could 'commit 'evil deeds...in the garden..who created the will that could concieve and carry out evil deeds?

Part of the problem here is that we all are throwing around the word "evil" quite a lot. Evil, really, is quite a subjective thing. While most people thought the attacks of Sept 11th were "evil", there were others who were joyously dancing in the streets. While some might argue that the music of Marilyn Manson or Slipknot is evil, others might argue that the music of Josh Tesh or Yanni is evil as well. I personally think the paintings of Thomas Kincade are evil (I get a LOT of flack for this opinion by many Christians. I have a whole rap on T. Kincade...Yea, sure, he is glorifying God; he glorifies God all the way to the bank...don't, don't get me started.)

My point is that maybe we need to define our terms a little clearer. How exactly would each person define as "evil"?
