This is the Old Testament way of saying something like, "The wages of sin is death." God has created consequences for your actions. So in reference to these consequences, one can say God created good and bad (evil) consequences.
as usual, you know squat nil about the bible and biblegod.
Amo 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done [it]?
Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
[quote] Evil came about through nd you as having no clue what the bible says about god or what claims god makes in the bible.
God created man good in the beginning; but God gave man free choice; and man chose to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Originally posted by RJHinds"living" is a very loose term and opinions vary whether or not viruses qualify. To the layman viruses are living; they are distinct from say snowflakes 0r rock crystals because they pass on genetic information and evolve.
You say yourself that evolution only works on living things. A virus is not a living thing.

Originally posted by wolfgang59They are believed to be living to people who are ignorant and don't know any better. And the dishonest claim hat they are living. However, any knowledgeable and truthful person declares that a virus is not a living thing, but needs to attach to a living thing to do anything.

b) evil, injury, wrong
c) evil (ethical)
3) evil, misery, distress, injury

what this means in practical terms according to the bible narrative is that biblegod creates diseases and he confesses full responsibility for it.

the consensus has to be over the scientific definition of "living".
