Second, regarding the creation of evil, I believe it’s altogether too simplistic to say that God created evil. I believe the best definition of evil is disobedience to the will of God. ..... I wasn’t being specific, just observing that, in order for something to disobey God, I think he would logically have to first create something with the ability to choose to obey or disobey Him.

God created evil.

You’re misconstruing the argument. Creating something with the capacity for choice is not equivalent to the creation of the consequence of that choice. Had nothing chosen to disobey God, then evil would not exist.
