The argument runs like this: for anything that you see as imperfect, there is necessarily a proportion of perfection in it, so that a true perfection has to exist, otherwise there would be no way to imagine or reason about it.
Example: Take a keyboard, if it is broken, it is imperfect, so the perfect model would be a working one. But consider a working keyboard, it could always be better, for instance, wireless with silent buttons, or a keyboard that helps you type faster, so does that mean that there is a "perfect" model of a keyboard, or just that there is always a "better" model?
What about the universe? Is the universe perfect? Considering that it existed since the beginning of time and will exist until the end of time, is there anything it can not do, considering the universe can be cosmic or quantum, including billions of galaxies, or minute fabrications of complex energies. Is this model "perfect" or does it just continuously get "better?"
