And God uses disorder even, to bring final harmony to creation: it was by His Suffering and Death (physical disorders brought about by sin), that Jesus redeemed creation. As noted, physical evil (suffering and death), has been allowed by God for this purpose:
to provide a natural recompense
for spiritual evil;
for suffering can obtain forgiveness of sin.
As well, being aware of sanctity and evil,
man is encouraged
- he is given impulse -
to make use of his freewill
and to choice for God.
Because of the difficulties that abound when the choice for God is made,
man is thus enabled
to rise to an even higher order
than that possible had evil not entered creation.
Nevertheless, because there is a God, disorder and insanity are doomed to absolute failure, in the fullest sense.
Evil is NOT a permanent part of creation as we know it. If it were, there would not be a God. While Satan and his followers have permanently embraced evil, this evil will not remain a part of normal creation, which God will renew, in a new perfection.
If there is a God, then the incredible challenge by Satan has to be dealt with - that is, overcome.
