Question: Is evil a product of evolution? Where did evil come from? God (through the Bible) tells us where evil came from, and what the solution is to it. What scientific theory addresses the problem of evil?

Scientific explanations do not address concepts of morality. The closest you can get to approaching morality from a scientific aspect is behavioural science; however that merely studies and attempts to explain causes of behaviour, it applies no value judgements.

"

You've given a great example of my point. Man's concept or understanding of evil will progress through time, much as our understanding of evolution will progress through time. If you accept God as the creator of all things, then God created evil, the same way he created evolution.
To accept evolution is the same as accepting gravity - it may not be a perfect description of how things happen, but its as close as we have right now. When you fall, is it because God pushed you down?

Science does not address evil. Evil is determined by philosophy. What is evil in one tribe or society may not be evil in another and the reverse. If a thing is thought threatening or dangerous to a tribe or society their philosophy might dictate that it is evil.
