One way to understand this is to ask yourself whether it MUST BE that some being is not a creature. Often times the trick seems to be that the conclusion is stated that it Must Be when in reality, it is one possibility- it could be true but that is one possibility, maybe there are others. that it might not be true. So the question to ask yourself is whether it must be true that some being is not a creature. The other possibilities are that "all" beings are not creatures or that "all" beings are creatures. We know that "ALL" beings can't be creatures because every creature is imperfect and there are at least some beings that are perfect , thus, don't meet that condition. The other possibility to examine is whether it is possible that "ALL" beings are not creatures. We know that some can't be but that doesn't mean that all might not be as well. There is not enough information to be able to come to that conclusion. At this point I think we can say " at least some being" or "somewhere between some being and all being."
Keep in mind I'm not perfect, which means that I might be a creature or maybe not (something else that isn't perfect), but must importantly, I could be wrong about all of this....although as a being, I don't think so :)

Do you really think/believe there is such a thing as a perfect being? If your trying to be religious on this one even "that" being made many mistakes, including us.
Logically a perfect being would have to be absolutely pure, I know damn sure that a diamond still has impurities, if you think you think its a machine, logically even thats faulty. As any machine is not superintelligent enough to achieve perfection, but it will try to pursue that perfection.

In logic, it should go - if a=b and b=c, then a must = c. You're saying if a does not = c,but b does = c, therefore b cannot = a. It is not a sound syllogism.

God is perfect..He is not a creature...He is a Being...He created man and creature in which are not perfect.

all creatures are created perfectly but choose to act imperfectly. that which created perfection is the same which allows imperfection to exist.

I don't claim to be intelligent.
I like the phrase very much though.
Some being is not perfect either.
I used to think my dad was though.

OK,here's my two cents.
The clue is in the words"are" and "is".
"All are not" infers more than a few.
"Some being is" seems to be saying there is a being that is(that "being" being the creator)
