The major problem with calvinism is that when you take its premise that God is responsible for everything, then God is ultimately the source of all evil.

Calvinists would disagree with you understanding of what they believe.

Incidentally, if Calvinism posited a robotic/mechanistic creation as you seem to think, then there could be no good or evil. There would just be the behavior of the machine.
