Exactly. We (humankind) have always looked for our beginnings, for our creator or maker. What was once taboo (dark matter, etc) to those of us that thought it was "the devil's work" are now coming to realize that it is necessary to explore those regions which were opened up by scientists. On the other hand more and more scientists are looking into the fact that, indeed, there could be an infinite mind, maybe even a god (Jehovah) that started all this.

Interesting points.

Evil is selfishness. Total self-centeredness is total hell. Ever notice how really self-centered people are really unhappy.

[To the original question:]

The word "evil" is stated 613 times in 569 verses in the Bible. Here is one of the very 1st references found in:

Gen 6:5 “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
