The last time you or I did something wrong - you and I made that thing. So, no God did not make everything. The bible does not actually claim that he made everything. It does claim that he made the universe, the world, and the original species that existed at that time. It specifically says that all good gifts come from God.

Kinda depends on whose interpretation of that one uses. After all it is not all that well defined.

 

I would have to agree, since he did not make us bad. He made us Good but corruptible. It is you and I who took that corruptible nature and actually made ourselves bad.

Well not absolute proof. But then you don't require absolute proof at that level for very much in life except when you judge God. There are countless people in the world who  demonstrably have been bad. There are so few who even claim to have never done bad (and then others have no problem demonstrating that they actually have done bad) that it is patently obvious that all humans fail to meet the requirement of perfection that would  needed to be called good.

If you can name anyone who has never done wrong then I will agree with you that there is no proof. Until then the weight of the evidence indicating that people are generally bad so vastly outweighs the evidence that one might propose to indicate that people are generally good that there is no contest. There is no proof that gravity will continue to work but so far every time anyone ever has examined it gravity has continued to work. It is not proved but it might as well be.

Regarding salvation: if you can name anyone who has managed to stop being bad I will concede that they are not in need of a savior.
