For this to work you have to actually prove that the lack of good is evil. Evil does lack good, but what lacks good is not necessarily evil. It appears to me that there can be a neutral state. For instance, I am holding my hand in the air right now. That act lacks any good, but does that make it evil?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
