Did God create everything that exists? Does evil exist? Did God create evil?

A University professor at a well known institution of higher learning
challenged his students,
with this question. 
"Did God create everything that  exists?"

A student bravely replied, "Yes he did!"

"God created everything?" The professor asked.

"Yes sir, he certainly did," the student replied.

The professor answered, "If God created everything; then God created evil. 
And, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works 
Define who we are, then we can assume God is evil."

The student became quiet and did not respond to the professor's 
Hypotheticaldefinition..
The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students
that he had proven,
once more that the Christian faith was a myth. 
Another student raised his hand and said, 

"May I ask you a question, professor?"

"Of course", replied the professor.

The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"

"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. 
Have you never been cold?"

The other students snickered at the young man's question. 
The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. 
According to the laws of physics, 

what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. 

Everybody  or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits 

energy, and  heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit 

energy. Absolute zero  (-460 F) is the total absence of heat; and all 

matter becomes inert and  incapable  of reaction at that temperature. 

Cold does not exist. We have created  this word to describe how we 

feel if we have no heat."

The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?"

The professor responded, "Of course it does."

The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not 

Exist  either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we 

can study, but not darkness. In fact, we can use Newton's prism to 

break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths 

of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can 

break into a  world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know 

how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. 

Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by  man to describe what 

happens when there is no light present."

Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?"

Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course, as I have already 

said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily examples of man's 

inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence 

everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but 

evil."

To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it 

Does  not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is 

just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe 

the absence of  God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of 

what happens when Man  does not have God's love present in his heart. 

It's like the cold that comes  when there is no heat, or the darkness 

that comes when there is no light."

The professor sat down.

The young man's name -- Albert Einstein (From the internet)
but it may just have been made up by a christian organisation.  
Either way it is a good story.
