Are you saying that evil is not a "human" construct? That there could be evil in a universe devoid of intelligent life to commit it? A morality without moral agents to express it?
I'm not sure I follow your logic either. Posit some kind of God, and you can have Evil and Morality defined by that God in the universe; otherwise you are incarnating abstract qualities into physical reality, like some new-skool Plato. As you say you are Xian, there is nothing wrong with saying God is the source of these ideas, but your argument should really just explicitly say so, whereas it seems to be saying something else - I'm just not sure what.
