God created good and bad (evil= bad, unpleasant[ness], disagreeable, malignant, giving pain, unhappiness, misery, unkind things, distress, misery, allowing calamity [as in the absence of goodness). The human does not necessarily know the difference between good or bad while it is sleeping in the garden of their own pleasure (eden) until the spirit of the lord awakens the human (adam) and the human along with its' chava (eve= breath. life [which is the spirit of life, the consciousness, the mother of all living opposite of the dead who sleep in the dust of the earth] given as a spiritual companion to teach the human how to breath life). The human therefore must be taught to differentiate between what is good or evil (bad) until it is fully awakened and that is a process of trial and error for most until the holy spirit is with them is fully awakened and they are walking that daily walk moment by moment; even then the flesh is still subjected to the woes(evil) of the carnal world and that also serves a purpose.
A rose has thorns does it not?
As far as animals having a consciousness that is aware of good or evil will have to be discussed in another note. I can tell you they know love (which comes from the spirit) also and many animals can see the unseen (that which is of the spirit) that a carnal human cannot see.
