No such thing as evil, period. Its a concept created to encompass all we find repulsive on an emotional level and sometimes physical level. The processing of pigs and chicken when observed fits this description to a tee, that is why we do not observe it to get around this unhappy fact.
This leaves us free to apply the same criteria to a cat catching a bird or a cheetah taking down a gazelle without seeming like hypocrits.
This isn't to say the morale system isn't a good concept, it makes a happy, functional society possible but it has its flaws and grey areas.
As such it could not be attributed to a timeless, benevolent and omnipotent being because it is so far from perfect. It is far more likely to be a by-product of humanities co-operative nature that helps it survive.
i.e. Tim is more likely to survive and pass on his genes than Bob because Tim is less prone to needlessly skull-fucking potential allies to death.
