Everything serves a purpose for Gods purpose. Good and evil are just words. We have duality because God see's that it teaches us things. Its not a mistake there are temptations. Its not a mistake that some fall short. Its not a mistake that we cant see God. This is a stage for learning many things about a nature of our being. This world is not a mistake nor our being here is. We and all beings are worthy of learning about the inner most nature. You cant take that away from humans or other life elsewhere.
If a soul experiences a 'punishment'....that souls highest self created that 'hell' for learning. Did you know that Gods biggest and most valuable tool for teaching is love to those that tempted by Earthly ways? God is not the harsh judge you are speaking of. God understands why every being acts the way it acts.
Any which way, you said you will be making a thread soon...so looking forward to that. I can see many Christians are going to use the 'fear' tactic for the things they do not know, for the mysteries of space are uncomfortable at times. We dont have a book telling us all about it and unknown things can put us on the defense. All beings in a physical experience have duality, it is the law of material worlds. To say there arent good beings out there is very shallow thinking, imo.
Evil is a manifestation...the cause is spirit coming into the form of matter....the effect is an experience of separate bodies and duality. God finds a way for all to learn...even those unspecial aliens, as you say.
Do you know Gods most useful weapon...actually, the only weapon Thee uses....is Love? But keep preaching...I know there are some that also follow a God of war and hate and punishments here.
My best

You need to quit talking about this 'duality'... You just don't get it. God's plan doesn't allow for this 'duality' you speak of with evil.

If this thread is any indication, it means one that seeks a great deal of personal attention and maintenance.
Also, a lack of grasp of theology, science, critical thinking, seem to be a prerequisite.
Meh ... bored with it now.

You believe in 'duality'? That just ain't cool coming from an atheist.
Today most people think of Jews as the people of Israel, but that is not correct. An Israelite was one who had descended from Jacob. In Jesus' time individual Jews may or may not have descended from Jacob, but they all recognized Pharisaism and not the Law of Moses. A Jew is properly a Judean.
The point is that one who is called a "Jew" in the Bible is not necessarily a chosen man of God, a follower of Moses and the prophets, a member of the tribe of Judah, an Israelite, or even a Semite, but one who is a resident of Judea. A Judean. But a well-organized and well-financed international "pressure group" created a so-called "secondary meaning" for the new word "Jew" which is not the understanding intended by the Scripture of truth. Those who call themselves Jews today falsely imply they are somehow descendants of the tribes of Israel and chosen of God. Yet few of them are Jews as they are not "Judeans," or residents of Judea.
