Only hod in heaven is good.. All creation shows his attribute s so no one is with excuse.. He made man and woman.. This however is very good.. It shows diversity yet similar.. Like good n evil light n dark all things are made by Him n without him was nothing made.. However you want to take it.. It is all good and some very good.. Bad or evil is good too.. Understand?

I am not afraid of the dark and I am not even a man! 
I even run in the dark on occasion.
I even run in the dark on occasion.
We are all like men to God... God is the God of the dark just as much as he is the light of day... therefore we fear God who is the ruler of both day and night... your talking About physical light and physical darkness given by the sun in the moon that was made on day four. I am talking about the light of God in the darkness that exist in spiritual places. The darkness you cannot see ...you should be afraid of... because God owns Both and is a giver and a taker. Of Love and wrath!
This is an excerpt from Adam Clarke's commentary on Genesis 3:1
I think it can be no solid objection to the above mode of solution that Satan, in different parts of the New Testament, is called the serpent, the serpent that deceived Eve by his subtlety, the old serpent, etc., for we have already seen that the New Testament writers have borrowed the word from the Septuagint, and the Septuagint themselves use it in a vast variety and latitude of meaning; and surely the ouran outang is as likely to be the animal in question as נחש nachash and οφις ophis are likely to mean at once a snake, a crocodile, a hippopotamus, fornication, a chain, a pair of fetters, a piece of brass, a piece of steel, and a conjurer; for we have seen above that all these are acceptations of the original word.
Besides, the New Testament writers seem to lose sight of the animal or instrument used on the occasion, and speak only of Satan himself as the cause of the transgression, and the instrument of all evil. If, however, any person should choose to differ from the opinion stated above, he is at perfect liberty so to do; I make it no article of faith, nor of Christian communion; I crave the same liberty to judge for myself that I give to others, to which every man has an indisputable right; and I hope no man will call me a heretic for departing in this respect from the common opinion, which appears to me to be so embarrassed as to be altogether unintelligible. See farther on Genesis 3:7-14, etc.

Who is Adam Clarke?
Would my tongue kindle a new fire if I said Satan is irrelevant. ...Since death is already defeated?? And the man (Jesus) flesh died for our sins... but Since no man can Kill God, where is he now??? Isn’t our God a spirit? A holy one at that?
Everyone looks to the sky to find rain in a desolate and dry place.... meanwhile Elijah is with a widow.

I understand all is Good. Whether it be evil per a man’s eyes or not...
he made The ocean before the fishes, in the land before the trees, and the trees before the birds. God is a God of order. Therefore he put the man in the earth first only for what he was going to do next ... it was not good that man was alone... but that doesn’t mean God didn’t already creat the answer!!
I believe we must be lonely first... so we may learn to appreciate companionship..
I believe we are ignorant at birth only to know more later in life.
I believe we must feel pain so we can appreciate Joy...
ALL THINGS ARE OF GOD!!

But his faith was not the same... and men couldn’t tell the difference. He looked like a man. Talked like man. Ate like a man. Cried like a man, got angry like a man... corded the synagogue and flipped tables I’m sure... but HIS VOICE WAS NOT THAT OF A MANS... and again... in the same instance ..who hears his voice today??

A brain is physical matter.. knowledge is not. You can not compare the apples on the tree to the light that causes them to grow. The body and image of Christ is likened to men.. And the Word became flesh. However the Word of God did not die in the flesh... and I am not talking about a book written by a bunch of men.. The Word of God is living. We serve a living God... and because men wait to see something, Christ is still invisible. Maybe only because they refuse to hear and believe.. Afterall faith come by hearing, And hearing by the Word of God..
