The problem of evil and suffering

I listened and appreciated the sermon. To my understanding the Physical Universe of matter, energy, space, and time is also a Universe of polarity, of + & – , yin & yang, good & evil, winning and losing with cycles of create, survive, and destroy, or born, live, die.
Life inhabits this Universe and is what animates it. Life is Awareness and reaches and withdraws as it’s action. God is the ultimate summation of All, the alpha and omega, the beginning and end of not just the Created physical universe but also the universes of Awareness and Life.
Our lives here are a contest of Free Will of exercising good or evil decisions interrelating with each other to perfect our understanding, alignment, and perfection with our Creator.
