“If you do not take the distinction between good and bad very seriously, then it is easy to say that anything you find in this world is a part of God. But, of course, if you think some things really bad, and God really good, then you cannot talk like that. You must believe that God is separate from the world and that some of the things we see in it are contrary to His will.
Confronted with a cancer or a slum the Pantheist can say, ‘If you could only see it from the divine point of view, you would realize that this also is God.’ The Christian replies, ‘Don’t talk damned nonsense.’ For Christianity is a fighting religion. It thinks God made the world—that space and time, heat and cold, and all the colors and tastes, and all the animals and vegetables, are things that God ‘made up out of His head’ as a man makes up a story.
But it also thinks that a great many things have gone wrong with the world that God made and that God insists, and insists very loudly, on our putting them right again.” C.S. Lewis
Putting things right again is a major element of mankind’s part in creation. You see, because God gave us free will to choose, we also have the responsibility for those choices. Much of what has gone wrong in God’s creation springs from Mankind’s bad choices and refusal to accept God’s primacy and will. In short, we are not operating according to the manufacturers instructions and therefore causing many of the malfunctions which afflict us all.
The difference between good and bad is as real and profound as the difference between darkness and light. Physical existence by it’s very nature will always have good and bad. The divine role we play is to make the choice for good, for God and for light. Remember, “the light shone forth and the darkness did not overcome it”.

Thanks for this comment from a fellow gardener. Z.
“The difference between good and bad is as real and profound…” Strongly agree.
The pantheist view, with its unlimited scope, is useful and helpful in appreciating, loving, and joining to God’s Creation, but seems short (ex: in your quote) about the personal presence of God, and thus cannot resolve good and bad. Jesus was the master of this, recognizing, I think, that getting life right with a God who is with us always opens up all else.
The tricky part, of course, is day to day life.
Cheers
