Could god create a universe where free will exists AND does not contain suffering of the life forms within it?
From the definition, nothing is impossible with the god of christianity and because such a universe IS possible, then it would be MORE perfect than THIS universe.
Why does god appear to create a less perfect world?

There are three basic issues to this question. 1.If God created this Universe who and where is god? 2. What is a perfect Universe?.3. What is this free will?. I wish to answer as below:-
2. There is no perfection without imperfection. One just could not exist without the other, and it differs from people to people, time to time. Perfection is infact absence of imperfection, and the quatity of perfection is measured in the scale of imperfection. Again what is perfect for one person may be infact imperfection for the other. For a non-vegetarian a perfect food would be a piece of lamb cooked in chilly sause with whisky on the rocks, well for a vegetarian teetotler raw and leafy vegetables with fruits would be perfect. Once upon a time a perfect person was one who could hold the heaviest and sharpest blade, to settle diputes, people used to duel, well today you would go for a long time in jail.
3. What is really free will, to live as you like, say and do what you like? if that is the case you have it already, if you say sensible things, right things people will listen, if you do good things, helpful things people will appreciate, as long as you do no harm to another person infact you have a lot of free will today than at any other time in history.
If you feel god has created this world I have no argument, for I have no other better explanation to give, but let me say he has done a wonderful thing in creating this world, there are huge mountain ranges starting from the mighty Himalays downwards, there are the Oceans, the Pacific, the Atlantic(North and south) The Indian Ocean, The bay of Bengal. While all these are beautiful to see underneath lurks great danger, imperfection in perfection for you. There are the sprawling medows, beautiful rivers,flowers, sunlight, one can go on quoting but on the other side of these beauties you will find ugliness,and imperfection.
God, has given us intelligence, strength to over come the toughest of hurdles, God thus has made you perfect, so that you realise and correct the imperfections into perfect.

introduction of this universe is a attempt to sift the sturdy from the undesirable. effective are promised eternity in paradise, on an analogous time as unsuccessful are promised punishment for no longer following what replaced into set out for us. there is not any imperfection, each and every thing is created basically because it replaced into meant to be. there is not any injustice, if a toddler dies then they're entered in paradise without reckoning. each and every thing would be accounted for and people who have been wronged gets recompensed and people who wronged against others would be made to blame. we are able to all meet our maker... and not something will bypass unseen. the only thank you to fulfillment is that if we abide via Gods regulation, which one ought to seek to ensure this is genuine... different than immediately human beings love sin greater suitable than there hereafter... God does as God wills. Evil is a introduction of God to purpose the persons to make certain who's worth of his bounty. Evil is in submission to God and is basically Evil with the permission of God. God enables the evil to happen and He particularly has the basically good capacity over all of it.

God did create the perfect world. We live in it.
It was not God that made this world the way it is. He gave us free will and now you see what WE did with it.
What makes you think that satan would not do another world the same way he has done this one.
God gave man kind a wonderful gift and thru satan, we have misused it so badly.
God did NOT create a less perfect world. We, thru satan, ruined it.

This is the most perfect world for its intended purpose. It only seems imperfect if you don’t understand the intent of God.

1).theoretically, yes he could.
2). who knows? it's paradoxical for a benevolent God. but an apathetic or malicious God could have a number of reasons.

if everyone is perfect like him, they go straight to heaven without having to worship him.
by creating a less perfect world, we have to pray for his mercy. and forgiveness, and he can get to do the honour of letting us into heaven.
right? the only one with the power around.

Seems to me by your logic, there's only one of two conclusions:
God is less than perfect.
There is no God
Please stop using logic, it only confuses the faithful.
