In the metaphorical sense evil can be associated with darkness easily. But to get to the answer we have to change the question slightly to is darkness evil? And darkness itself - the very absence of light, cannot be evil. How can nothing be evil? How can it be anything apart from nothing? It can't, and therefore darkness cannot be evil. This means that evil is not the same thing as darkness. Side: no

Just like cold and dark aren't a 'thing' evil isn't either. Cold is nothing. Cold is just a word we use, to explain the feeling we get when there is not heat. Dark isn't anything either. It is just a word we use to describe no light. Evil is just like those - it isn't a thing. It is something we use to describe the absence of love. Side: yes
