In the eyes of a person, evil and good could be infinite.

Cannot really see God viewing the natural world as good or evil either. Man's actions yes. But each man can only do so much of good or evil, so it would seem this would be very limited.

Also think about Voltaire's Candide when I think about good and evil and the best of all possible worlds.

There are some good quotes about evil here-- Evil Quotes
