I would argue that evil is the privation of good, in that all evil entails a choice away from God. It is literally God or nothing, and in the ancestral fall of choosing against the Will of God regarding the knowledge of Good and evil, man chose nothing, and hence "through one man came sin and through sin death."
Is evil a thing or is it the privation of the good?
