If the whole of creation was created by God, then who created evil? Evil is part of that creation. Surely no one else would have the power to create things side by side along with God.

If the whole of creation was created by God, then who created evil? Evil is part of that creation. Surely no one else would have the power to create things side by side along with God.
If we say that Satan created evil in the world then we have to ask
ourselves: who put the evil into the heart of Satan? It is said that
Satan was a good angel before he disobeyed God, and turned into evil,
and then God cast him down to earth, where he is spreading evil today.
Howsoever be it, one thing is clear that He who created the flower also created the thorn, He who created Day also created Night, He who created happiness also created sorrow.
Without night, day would have no meaning, without sorrow happiness would have no meaning, without evil, goodness would have no meaning.
In fact, evil is a teacher. It teaches man to be good. When man finds only misery and unhappiness in evil, he turns towards good.
When man finds that he is only stumbling and falling in darkness, he turns towards light.
Evil is written as E-V-I-L.
If we put the E after the V, it becomes VEIL.
So Evil is a Veil between man and God.
Write EVIL backwards and what do you get? L-I-V-E.
So Evil says "Live". But live where? In Evil?
Darkness tells man to seek light.
In a like manner the terrible miseries inflicted upon man when he lives in Evil tell him that he must seek Goodness.
So He goes towards GOOD.
But there again pride enters into man and he says: "I am GOOD. I am better than others!"
If he removes the zero of his own 'I' , i.e. O from GOOD, he turns towards GOD. GOOD minus O = GOD.
Thus Evil came into existence with the intention of pushing man towards God, who is the Ultimate aim of human life upon earth.
Everything changes and perishes with time, day turns into night, Summer turns into Winter, young age turns into old age, disease and finally death. There is only one Imperishable, the One who exists forever and to attain whom man was born into the world, and that One is God.
The whole of Creation is working towards that purpose -- to push man towards his Goal and to help him reach his destination, before it is too late and his life is wasted.
