This way of thinking is very similar. The big difference is that some people will say that because God is good and creator of all things then he also created evil and sin so he is also evil and sin.

I think the way that we are shown good and evil is through law. Instead of creating evil, God created law (10 commandments and don't eat of the tree) and that law was good. The purpose of that good law was to show us how we could not live up to it. So the way that evil enters the picture is through something that it is an unavoidable part of something that was created and is good. With law you have to have justice, grace, truth, and certainty of punishment with all of these things. Without any of them a law is not a law because there is no punishment for breaking it, there is no grace to keep you in it, and there is no absolution to its eternal nature. People like to say that God is evil because he created sin. But they don't realize that sin(evil) goes hand in hand with law which is created as good. Unless there is some absolute law to be followed, unless there are some absolute rules, there is no wrong doing and no sin.
