Death said that the Darknees was "an amoral destructive force" so that would imply that it didn't feel anything when it was causing destruction, and the only way to know that is if God had made things as there was nothing before it to destroy. So after seeing episode one of season 11, and the darkness virus, which had similarities to the Leviathan (the black veins, black ooze) and her comments about not knowing death, I believe that the order of creation in the Supernatural verse so far is that there was darkness, then God (who was unaffected or strong enough that he could survive on his own), then he made his creation, which were beasts (animal like beings (with no template)), however just like in S11E01 just being in the presence of the Darkness is to be driven to destruction. So I believe that this is what caused the Leviathan to turn out the way they did, they went on a rampage and consumed God's other creations, possible other beasts, so now that something has been killed Death comes into being either before when life was first brought in, or after the first death. So now God knows that he can't create anything without the Darkness corrupting it, But wait!!! god was unaffected and or immune, so what does he do but create, Angels, beings with some of his own power of celestial cosmic energy, which produces light and can fight or ward off the darkness. and knowing that so long as the darkness is around God went to war with it, and sealed it away. Now God can start creating so he makes Heaven a home for him and his angels, next he makes the universe, and Earth. And we know that Adam, Lilith, and Eve were all alive, I think that the tree was actually where God stored all of the left over corruption that was left over from the darkness, that naturally corruptive smoke that drove beings mad. So when Lucifer who was corrupted by the mark (showing even the strongest of God creations aren't immune to the Darkness) tortured Lilith into a Demon and had tricked Eve into eating the Fruit she became the inhieter of the darkness. a merge between the two, so she is "older than angels" in the sense that her power is older and can snuff their power while around her. and as for all of the monsters I would assume that it was like the darkness manifesting in different ways in different people and is just the the "darkness virus" where it is contagious. As for the Phoenix, I would assume that it is the Pureness that was banished from Eve when she became mixed with the Darkness. "Cutting off the Cancer as it was put."

I only say that she merged with some of the darkness, because monster virus is similar to the darkness corruption spreading, and that she was bleeding water-black blood from when she was dying, while the Leviathan who got it first hand was a more solid black ooze, Eve's was "three times removed step child on the mom's side" compaired to the leviathan darkness interaction.
