That is not necessarily anti-evolution. It just says that evolution is a designed system. The question then becomes whether evolution, with all its elements, can be said to reflect the existence of an all-good, caring God. listverse.com/2009/03/04/top-10-worst-things-in-nature/ listverse.com/2013/06/25/10-sadistic-killers-of-the-natural-world/ There are some higher mammals that flirt with emotions such as tenderness, particularly when it comes to babies of various species, and there have been some amazing examples of purported predators showing something akin to “mercy”, to infants of their traditional prey species; particularly when there is some aspect of maternal instinct involved. But for the most part, the way of the world is to kill to eat, without the hindrance of conscience, over and over. Is this cavalcade of cruelty-as-process really the design of a moral entity? Evil in the world mitigates the possibility of a caring loving god. Of course theists will always point to free will to explain a good god who permits evil. But there is also the possibility that god is not good or evil, but some pantheistic regulator of creation. He finds as much beauty in death and destruction as he does in life.
