 "Evolutionary humans find it difficult to fully to comprehend the significance and to grasp the meanings of evil, error, sin, and iniquity. 

Humans are slow to perceive that contrastive perfection and imperfection produce potential evil; that conflicting truth and falsehood create confusing error; that our divine endowment of freewill choice eventuates in the divergent realms of sin and righteousness; that the persistent pursuit of divinity leads to the kingdom of God as contrasted with its continuous rejection, which leads to the domains of iniquity."
