Not by the definition of something that goes against the will of god. Because he wills everything to happen and he has allowed things to happen as they do because they're specifically a part of his plan. They could have happened a different way but he had them happen this specific way, including the choices of individual humans, because that was his intent.
Thanks to those who are created to play my enemies (among my relatives and strangers) to prove me that living the Unconditional Love towards all others, good and evil, is totally wrong, I couldn't discover that I am not created to be just a biological robot which has no choice other than being guided by its preprogrammed instructions, like my instincts related to survival, superiority, selfishness and applying a certain justice on others.
Much like miracles, all those who tried to hurt me badly failed. Once I was accused of a crime whose penalty is hanging to death. On the same day, the accusation was dropped, and the head officer of the police station told me that a person (who I never knew who he was) came into the police station and gave him all the necessary to prove my innocence. This is one of the many experiences I witnessed in my life by which I realized by myself the existence of the Holy Spirit of Love. For instance, I was told that one of my enemies said. after failing many times to hurt me really badly: Without any doubt, he is surely protected by his God of the Unconditional Love".
Conclusion:
The existence of evil persons in my life turned out being very important and useful, in my life in the least. Without them, I would have never noticed that I am not just an intelligent evolved animal whose role is just to serve the world as all other living things are created for.
