no tomatoes here, no need to duck :)
However, you don't believe in good and bad in the world? You don't believe that people like Mother Teresa who care about the poor and dying only in their life are good and that despot dictators that care only about advancing their empires, gassing their own people, sending armies out to slaughter whole villages, rape women, etc., are bad? Change the word from evil, to bad, it's still the same. And look at human kind, how mankind always makes mistakes, blunders things, how imperfect we are. Compare that to the animal world and how perfect everything works together in sync. To me it just proves the existence of God, a creator, and the imperfectness of man which makes us human and thinking.
I don't know if this is where you were going with that, but I don't see how God is dependent on evil or redemption. It seems to me that we are.
