How can you say "God creates evil" then is the next breath ask "How is God evil"??? Anyone who creates evil is by definition an evil being. If I build a room for which the sole purpose is for men to come and rape little babies, then I am evil, whether or not I actually ever rape a little baby myself. God both created evil and commits evil, so using my rape-room analogy, god both built the room and also participates in the rape of the babies.

There was this story in Florida where this guy had a pet python. One day it killed his girlfriend's baby. The question everyone asked was why the heck he had a python in the house in the first place knowing that there was a child in the house. Those two do not mix. His excuse was that the python was always in this one room, and the child should never have gone to that room, etc. It was a very retarded argument, just like this choice of evil argument. Why did god put that choice there in the first place? If there was no evil to chose from, then man would not commit evil! Period! In god's infinite mind, there must be infinite good choices he could have given man to chose from.

This argument cannot hold because you restrict an all-powerful god to just being one thing. Also, it negates the definition of good since whatever god does (even drowning all the babies in the world in Noah's flood) is also seen as good.
