If God created all the good things around us then it means he created all EVIL too

A. Evil is the contradiction of moral truth. 

B. People are free to contradict moral truth, and is morally permissible to allow it.

If A and B are true, this argument presented falls apart. 

You have two options here:

1. Throw out the argument made in this forum.

2. Demonstrate that at least one of these (A or B) is flawed.

I wouldn't exactly add this to my list of arguments, but it could be made part of a larger argument.

It's morally permissible for a perfectly good being to allow people to a contradict moral truth? that seems like creating evil to me. By the fact of first making the decision to allow the act in the first place .Or worst by creating the actor in the first place.

Evil contradicting moral truth first assumes the theists god is moral truth  or has moral truth if not he has neither .Then he most certainly can be evil  or the creator of evil without contradiction .Because there nothing inherent to being god the grants him either.
