That's a complete non-sequitur. Our existence doesn't imply, in any way a "good" force behind our existence. How can you prove that the creator isn't malevolent? Here, let me take your quote and elaborate:

"To deny that every goodbad thing that is is solely due to him/ it/ creation and creator in the simplest of terms does not make sense."

Seriously. By that logic, I could point to bad things like Tay Sachs and radiation from the sun as evidence of God's wickedness. You're seeing what you want to see, and ignoring the rest.

Is it not the greatest and most pure? This is not denial of undeniable negatives, or the waste of energy. They are but different and lesser and not wholly.

You're assuming there has to be a good motivation behind this.
