I would add COMPLETELY LOVING (if it is not already contained in "good")
and I also disagree with the theologies thinking of humans as evil.

I've got a book "The evolution of cooperation" and it argues scienti-
fically that beings that don't cooperate are dying out. That's why
"inherently evil" beings shouldn't exist.
One could claim that nature is in a loving mood. Although Tom would
say that nature simply    i s    . ;-) :-)
