If there was no light left, would we not still call it dark? Maybe if we had never seen good we couldn't call that world evil. Maybe if he had never seen light we could not call it dark. But somewhere the concepts of good and light exist. So even if we had never seen either, that world would still be evil and dark.

Interesting. So, you're saying things may be relative to us, whether we know they exist or not?
If the thought "Logos" of God, (his divine manifestation in the form of Jesus Christ), was always eternal,
have we always existed...in the form of his foreknowledge preceding our physical emergence (human birth)? By this definition, are one's children essentially the same age as the parents, since they have both existed eternally in the mind of God at the same time?
My friend says that we're just data in the mind of God.
