evil is not a physical state, and frankly I dont understand why you brought it up. But to answer you question, yes god created evil,as well as good and whatever we as human beings decided what is what, see he gave us freewill and with freewill we are able to deicde what to call what and when to do it.

And for the first part of your question, then if the universe origins cannot be proven or disproven, with new theories popping up every few years can we say we all evolved from an single cell organism? There are billions of species on earth, and only one universe it sits in, yet for some odd reason we can kind of sort of geez, create a theory on how we evolved here yet cannot explain the universes birth.

You said "everything" so I was just clarifying.

But to answer you question, yes god created evil,as well as good

Then He is responsible for "evil" end of discussion. Not everything He created is good and, therefore, He is not worthy of worship. Unless you are trying to argue that "evil" is "good" which means that words mean nothing.

see he gave us freewill and with freewill we are able to deicde what to call what and when to do it.

Actually this is impossible. He knew my name before I was born and knew all my choices before I was born. I could not act in a manner that contradicted His foreknowledge so He decided long before I was born whether I would be evil, which you admit He created, or whether I would be saved. There is no free will there.

can we say we all evolved from an single cell organism?

Actually the concept of "strange attractors" says that if the conditions were right there were probably billions of cells all came into being at roughly the same time. Just like when the conditions are right there are 100 tornadoes in a given area, if the conditions were right for life billions of cells could have spontaneously sprang into being.

There are billions of species on earth, and only one universe it sits in, yet for some odd reason we can kind of sort of geez, create a theory on how we evolved here yet cannot explain the universes birth.

This is called False Analogy. The comparison of evolution to the Universe's "Birth" are 2 completely separate subjects. You want the harder one solved first before you will accept the closer, easier one valid. To use an Analogy properly, this would be like insisting a doctor perform brain surgery before doctors had learned how to set broken bones.
