The bible says all animals were vegetarians before "the fall", and because of a choice that Adam and eve made, he punished EVERYTHING, including the plants.
As far as malevolence goes, shall I start with Virology? How about Anencephaly? How about Natural selection and extinctions?
This VERY short list is not what I expect on a benevolent creators resume. At most you can try to argue that the creator is uncaring.
If the creator is uncaring, then why care enough to make a Cosmos to begin with. If the creator is uncaring, why care for it enough to make it in the first place?
The argument of an uncaring god doesnt fit the facts. An uncaring god would not have cared enough to create a cosmos. So you have to say he cares enough to create what we see. So if that is true, then look at the world around you. If a creator is responsible for THIS, then that creator is malevolent. What creator who is capable of making perfection refuses to make nothing but perfection?
