Ok, let's define a few things then for the sake of discussion.
Omnibenevolence: the infinite desire to want to do good.
Perfect world: the optimal world reflecting the omnibenevolence of its creator.
Evil: describing an action or an individual's uncontrollable circumstance of life e.g. Kerb stomping a kitten will almost always be frowned upon as a wicked/evil action. Some people meeting their fate within weeks because of their arbitrary geographical 'starting point' is unjust and therefore shows life itself can be evil.
