The creator (I wont call him god because I subscribe to no religion) created concious free will in the minds of every sentient being. This free will is used to learn and expand our knowledge of the nature of duality. Duality is not good verses evil but the complex challenges that are synonymous with free will.
Free will and the challenges that we create for ourselves in the co-creation of the universe, with the creator and all sentient beings around us simultaneously, transcend the very nature of good and evil. In the spectrum of our lives that exists through thousands of reincarnated lives, it can be the most evil actions that are overcome to create the most positive effects in our souls in the long run. Just as it can be the most positive actions that can lead to our downfall through ego to create negative effects in the long run.
The truth is that good and evil are one when viewed outside the spectrum of time. The evil of the holocaust leads to the creation of a Jewish homeland and the reinforced will to create international human rights as best we can as nations. Ghandis struggle to find freedom for his people in an independent Indian nation creates the division of that nation inducing decades of violence and war between the two peoples. I man's life of crime and hatred could potentially lead him to become a voice and spokesperson to divert many more people away from the life he has lead. A politician who's original intentions are to help people and make the world a better place can become corrupted by power and ego to wreak havoc on a nation.
What is good and evil in action and intention viewed outside of time? Ultimately its free will in the creation and completion of the challenges of positive and negative actions and intentions that leads us to the truest nature of ourselves.
