Low entropy is good.
High entropy is evil.
Entropy is defined in terms of statistics,
or the probability of a state divided by all
possible states.  (This is information entropy,
which is connected to heat flow entropy through
the distribution of speeds in aggregations of
theoretical particles by way of that mathematical
speculation in the later 1800s on the subject.)
Other states need to be possible for entropy to
be lowered.
For life to exist then death needs to be possible.
For good to exist then evil needs to be possible.
For something to exist then nothing needs to be possible.
For words to exist then non-words need to be possible.
Non-words or gibberish can be random sequences of letters.
For meaning to exist then non-meaning needs to be possible.
For science to exist then non-science needs to be possible.
For religion to exist then non-religion needs to be possible.
The potential for evil is the price that good pays for
existence.  Does something exist?  Is non-existence
possible?
