Well human thought dreams up some unconsionable and unimaginable horrors then. And however it happens, it is no less evil.

perhaps we had best define 'evil' as -

seeing the 'right' choice, and not making it!

as described above, the "fall from grace" (out of Eden) was the point at which a newly conscious home sapiens looked at its prey upon which it was about to pounce, and realized that killing it was "wrong".

in spite of the fact that it needed to feed its progeny, and partner, it still felt regret at what it was compelled by thousands of years of unthinking response to its environment, to do; killing was the only perceived route; and so, sadly it dealt the death blow, and guilt was incorporated into its 'soul'!

today the choices are different;

to look at the enemy accross noman's land, realize that to kill is wrong, this is another human being, like myself, defending a 'bill of goods' without, perhaps, sufficient research into its validity; and then to proceed with one's 'duty' knowing it is wrong;

that is 'evil'

Bogowo, I like that definition: "Evil is seeing the right choice and not making it."

And good is seeing the wrong choice and not making it?

That would fit too JL Nobody. When you come right down to it, there is a lot of depth in both propositions.
