God’s perfect goodness is relative to his perfect being. Nothingness is perfect Evil. Everything-ness is Perfect Goodness (God). The less something is… the more inherently evil. So that metaphysical ’substance’ is in a sense God-ness. the worse it is, the less godly it is, or the less ’substance’ it has… God, the creator, is necessary for existence… whether it is material (touchable) or immaterial (ideas/notions/feelings)… the only solution for the author of evil is this; God. or not?
One of the Gregorys (i will look this up)… i forget which one, suggests that evil was part of the “perfect plan.” Descartes also mentions that because it IS so, the fact that there is ‘evil’ – and everything it entails – means that there was NO better possible option (for this would indicate that God is in fact not perfect). A perfect creator can only create perfection. or perfect perfection can only create perfect perfection (regardless of semantics). no? So what is – is perfection. . .
