The conflict of good vs evil has its source in the Biblical account of our world. Revelations 12:3-4,7-9, 12 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth…. 7 Then war broke out in heaven.

He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.” Angels were given free will and the devil chose to rebel against God. Evil is the result of the freedom to choose.
