Indeed.... Augustine stated that "evil cannot exist except in the good." Aquinas went on to say that "evil cannot have an essential cause." The very first church fathers contemplated on the nature of good and evil, and yet just take a look at sites like http://malaysia.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071107200543AAzZTLy and you'd see how much people are still messed up with the issue -- basically because it is integrated into the one big question of life: How then shall I live? (Take the guy who, probably after a wild night of who-knows-what, posted "Evil is good. I tasted it last night."

Every particle that makes up a bullet was originally created by God, reflecting the glory of God's creation. Even when you dice the bullet into the smallest piece, you will not be able to find an "evil" particle in it. Yet, when a corrupted sinner puts it into a gun, fires it in a drive-by and kills some child at the scene, evil happens.

Aquinas would say that the shooter would have viewed his reasoning for the killing to be good, in his own eyes. But that is because his view is corrupted and ther exist an absence of good in his world view. Ever since Adam and Eve decided to take "knowledge of good and evil" into their own hands, there has been a big problem of serious lacking of true goodness in what people believe to be good....
