Im sorry but you may not ask when we don't know the correct answer.

Darkness is the absence of light
Evil is the absence of good

If the day of judgement exists, why would there be no hell. If the day of judgement doesn't exist, why would there be an afterlife

The answer all depends on you- what you believe in/ past experiences.
The answer will probably vary person to person.

Of course from a religious perspective, I'd say Iblis. To someone else, they might suggest something completely different and disagree.

There is no objective notion of 'evil'. In reality everything is just chemical reactions induced by other chemical reactions.

The path of good and evil has been made apparent to the people and it is for them to choose. :smile:

No you may not ask. But since you did, I will answer.

Because there is duality.

God invented evil, so that he could claim to be better. He then copied it.

How do you shine black light on a white board. You don't, it looks black because of the whiteness of the surroundings, making you perceive it as black.

True (from my perspective also) but I do also believe the root of evil is from Iblis. :h:

You can't have a world without evil even if you could snap your fingers and remove all evil.
If there was no darkness, what's the point of light? It's meaningless
