Seriously though, I don't think there is a good and evil. Decades ago, it was okay to marry a girl when she was 14 years old. Centuries ago, it was okay for a man to have multiple wives. What was good and evil didn't change. Only our perception of what was good and what was evil.
So, if I had to answer honestly, I'd have to say evil comes from perception.
If a lion killed another lion or if a fish ate another fish, would it be evil or would it be nature? Our nature is to do what would be considered evil. Our ability to reason is what decides if a deed is good or evil. And this opinion of good and evil isn't even uniform across the globe.
