Then explain the creation of Satan and as an evil being. Especially given the Christian teaching of Lucifer, the fallen angel and 1/3 of the angels in heaven, having fallen to serve him.

In my mind, it has to do with free will. In order to make an honest
choice of obedience (good), the possibility of disobedience (evil) must
exist. Therefore, creating evil was (pardon the pun) a necessary evil.
It levels the karmic playing field. Satan was simply a created being who
chose....poorly.
