since you like to quote Gnostic scripture (with no understanding)

here is something on the nature of duality...

"Light and Darkness, life and death, right and left, are brothers of one another. They are inseparable. Because of this neither are the good good, nor evil evil, nor is life life, nor death death. For this reason each one will dissolve into its earliest origin. But those who are exalted above the world are indissoluble, eternal. "

-Gospel of Philip

Note Philip says:

Because of this neither are the good good, nor evil evil, nor is life life, nor death death.

We find this in other places also, here is an extract of a paper that I assume is far beyond your understanding, but maybe I am wrong, and you can comprehend it

..........
  1. <LI class=MsoNormal>According to Lurianic Kabbalah the roots of evil (expressed as the power of din) are immanent to The Absolute (En Sof) itself and are contained in its depths. <LI class=MsoNormal>The process of creation explicates these potential roots of evil. <LI class=MsoNormal>This explication of din is the foundation of the very beginning of the creation through zimzum (contraction).
  2. The purpose of creation is the elimination of the element of din (and consequently of evil) through its explication and subsequent liquidation in the process of ‘divine catharsis.’ Keeping these points in mind we can now outline some Buddhist materials relevant to our topic.
In early Buddhism and in Theravada (Sthaviravada) tradition the problem of evil has been decided in a very simple way. Evil was understood as ’suffering,’ duhkha which was thought to be one of the most fundamental qualities of being as such (together with anitya – non eternity, non constancy and anatma – essencelessness, or devoidedness of essence/’ego’). Briefly speaking, early Buddhism only demonstrated the fact of evil as a principal attribute of every existence as such. It also analyzed the cause of suffering and involvement of the sentient beings into the cyclic existence of the world of births-and-deaths (samsara), and this cause of this involvement was ignorant affectivity and desires, or defilements (klesa). Moreover, in the Abhidharmic texts (e.g., Vasubandhu’s famous ‘Compendium of Abhidharma,’ Abhidharma kosa, chapter 3, Loka nirdesa, ‘Exposition of the World‘) even the Triple Cosmos (traya lokya) itself was thought to be the objectivization (’materialization’) of the summarized sequences of the affects of the living beings of the preceding cosmic cycle (kalpa). Nothing else but klesas (affects and desires in their latent, or subtle form) produce the material foundation of the universe at the beginning of every cosmic cycle. And this universe is only an expression of the beginningless desires and lusts which lead every being to the painful samsaric existence according to the Law of Interdependent Origination (pratitya samutpada). And this ‘evil’ character of samsara is confirmed by the doctrinal essentials of Buddhism, that is, the Four Noble Truths:
  1. <LI class=MsoNormal>every existence is painful/unsatisfactory, <LI class=MsoNormal>desires and attachments are the cause of pain, <LI class=MsoNormal>there is a state free from pain (nirvana), and
  2. there is a path toward liberation from samsara and attainment of nirvana (Eightfold Noble Path).
The Doctrine of the Origin of Evil in Lurianic and Sabbatian Kabbalah and in the awakening of Faith in Mahayanistic Buddhism « Prayers and Reflections

That's for another thread. For the time being you are officially declaring that you do not accept the Bible as Truth. You do not accept Jesus as speaking the truth. You do not accept Issac Newton's first law of motion as truth because all three state that earth doesn't move and is at rest.

Oh, I see! There was no such thing as a drought long before we began to pump greenhouse gasses into the air and chemicals into the ground and pollutants into the water supply.
Allll-righty, then!

Belief in Christ = suspension of science. Gotcha.
I guess no scientists believe in God. I guess all Christians fail science classes.
