We can talk about free will and some beings choosing to use it in a harmful way, but that still doesn't describe how evil got a foothold, and a major one at that (as in "who is the King of this world" from the Bible) and how something pure and innocent can be intentionally corrupted by an unknown, alien, misunderstood being, group of beings or force.
How did evil turn up in this obviously beautiful universe?
One question is whether the battle between good and evil is just a transitory thing, an earthly thing, and an ultimately unimportant thing, perhaps to assist human evolution, or is it a real spiritual struggle with real stake in the game and no guaranteed outcome?
Evil appears to want to destroy all that is good, noble, pure and natural. It seems to be a force or being that hates God and hates God's creations and wants them all destroyed or under its control.
I have read convincing reasons why this is the case by the prolific spiritual author Kim Michaels, but I can not say with any certainty that he is correct.
It is just beyond my realm of direct knowing.
