Speaking of the earth as a perfect place, actually nature is quite violent. The planet is not a spiritual world in the sense that physical things can simply exist without sustenance, as perhaps they are suppose to be able on the spiritual plane. What is physically living seems to need a means of converting what is in the environment to forms of sustenance and energy, that powers and sustains the physical organism, by feeding on the surrounding habitat.
This may seem and can easily be interpreted as
Evil by the victims of predation or the extended family members thereof, whether it be human or animal life. Vegetarian creatures can be excused it is thought, assuming that the vegetable world has no consciousness, and an argument can certainly be made against that.
The accepted orthodoxy is that one cannot blame life for living and cannot blame the predator for doing what it must do to live. Thus Evil is not an issue. Evil is defined as premeditated behavior that causes violence and suffering, perpetrated unsolicited against any sentient creature, that is not motivated by the necessity of simple existence absent Excess & Profit. Using this definition, it could be said that there is not much Evil to be found in nature, with a few exceptions, such as like cats, since the Natural Law of nature is governed by the concept and dynamic of Necessity and Subsistence. Predation is limited to only what is necessary for simple existence. Only humans have the ability to produce alternatives to Natural Law by creating technology. This produces a greater degree of Volition, and the ability to create Excess and Profit, as more than what is needed and necessary.
