Moral evil as the result of free will; natural evil as a separate category

Did God Create Evil? A Misunderstood Bible Verse: Isaiah 45_7 00:22:26 – 00:23:57

Mike distinguishes two major categories of evil

Moral evil arises when beings with free will make choices that go against God's goodness. The first agents of moral evil were Satan, then Adam and Eve — they did not create evil ex nihilo but performed acts with evil qualities by contrast to God. Natural evil (tornadoes, disease, calamity) is a separate category with distinct causes addressed in scripture.
