maybe evil is entropy
I've always thought that life and evolution are counter-balancing the gain in entropy of the universe. Applying the rule that nothing is ever lost in universe, the current improbability (of the hot sun and cold planets for example) going via entropy toward a more probable state (cold), a death state, very high entropy, is counter-balanced by the evolution of the life which is a ride toward improbability.
My theory, worth 2¢.
PS: eventually, living things will be able to re-ignite the fire of the sun (sun here in my small local example).
