Is God Responsible for Evil?
For where envying and strife is, 
there is confusion and every evil work. 
James 3:16
Cold does NOT exist-it is rather the abscence of heat
Darkness does NOT exist-it is rather the abscence of light
Evil is the result of the abscence of God from something-A disconect since Adam & Eve sinned
The way to dispel darkness is to admit light. The best way to deal with error is to present truth. 
Desire of Ages p.498 E.G.W.
