What we are all saying is that creationism is a load of crap.

At first I made a perfect human. But then I thought that there wasn't any point for him to be, because he could only get worse.
And then I made an imperfect human and gave him the will and the ability to be perfect.
And when I saw what I did I was happy!
From time to time there are some humans who almost make it but most of them just like to talk about perfection.

Actually God didn't create imperfect humans, what he created was humans with free-will. So the next question it seems to me is...why did He do that? Well, simply, God wants you to choose to love him back - He's not going to force you. Think about it, can YOU force anyone to love you in return? Ofcourse not. So God let humans have a choice. They could obey His rules and live in His house...or they could CHOOSE to do what they wanted and find their own place to live - which is what Adam and Eve did.

What would be the reason for having a relationship with robot? If humans were perfect we could not choose to love God and fellowship with him. When we choose it's kind of like our children deciding to do what we want them to do of their own free will, out of love.
I would rather have my imperfect children that came from me and that I am personally involved with than any machine I have ever seen. If we were perfect would we not be a machine?

I'm going to refer to Dan Brown's novel Angels and Demons, which sounds shady but I liked this.
There is a part in the novel where someone is asked why God would let problems exist and the guy responded with an analogy of a father letting his children learn mistakes on their own, so they know not to repeat them. At least, I think that's what he said. It was a while ago.

This question is not too hard. But God's ways are above our ways, and who are we to question Him? My thoughts are that God's design for humans, was that they would not ever be like the angels who tried to become like Him and take over heaven. I believe, from scriptural study, that He created us to worship Him and to choose to love our Creator in all things.
That being said, the rest of the plan is not for us to know. Blessings.

He (God) had to deal with the balancing of being a loving Father, a God and NOT a dictator. He had to give us the choice to be imperfect while stillgiving us the ability to be perfect hence leaving the choice to us.

Well the majority of Gods out there are quite a jealous bunch and enjoy smiting one another's creations. If they do truly exist, they aren't exactly perfect themselves.

First of all, you have to understand that God is perfect and that "God created man in His own image", so that man could be the recipient of His love.
Now consider these two situations:
1. You are the only man alive, but there are lots of woman, and the one woman you love happened to return your love.
2. You are one of many men alive, but there is only one woman, and you love her and she loves you.
Which of these two loves would you want to be a part of? Which is greater?
Surely the second one, because she chose you out of all the rest...
Similarly, God wanted man to *choose* to love (& obey) him, so instead of making man as a machine, He gave man free-will - a choice of two paths. This subsequently left man "open to temptation", as you say.

Get hold of "Chris(tine) from Muswell Hill" via LBC radio station. SHE's got the answer to everything relating to God and is readily willing to ram it down everybody's throat! Religious maniac doesn't come into it!

My logic is like this – God is perfect so his creation can’t be perfect. For example, what ever that human creates, it won’t be more intelligent than human. So, same applies to God.
