How come his creation isn't?
His first two intelligent creations couldn't follow the most simplest of instructions. (Apple)
His fourth creation didn't know that it was wrong to kill.
Now he has created let's say 12 billion humans, and I'm sure that 12 billionth human will still have problems. I'm sure he or she will still have design flaws like having the same pipe for air and food.
Perfect beings do nothing short of perfection by definition, have you seen this Earth. I dare you to even show me one thing (Jesus doesn't count since he is God*) that God has made that IS perfect.
The best I can do is a circle, and even that isn't perfect because pi is an infinite number.
* When asked on here, and researched on the Internet it seems more Christians believe Jesus is God, so I'm going with that.

We are not perfect yet, we will receive our perfected bodies in the Resurrection.
This is a time of trial. When your kid is learning to drive, do you give them the brand spankin' new porsche, or do you give them something else to learn in?
Now, as for bad decisions made by God's creations. It all has to do with free agency. Without free agency, there would be no point in being here.
Free agency is the key to the entire plan of salvation.

Because all people and things have been marred by the presence of sin.
Everything was created perfect. God gave the power of choice to man and angels. Both made the wrong decisions and we are living with the results.
The angels who sinned. Lucifer was the highest of all the angels.
Please reference Isaiah 14:12- 15, and Ezekiel 28:11-19 for the fall of Satan.
Nothing is as it should be. After the fulfillment of the Book Of Revelation God will set everything the way He designed it to be.

ok dude, if you would get your facts straight Jesus and God and the Holy Spirit are one in the same its called the doctrine of the Trinity idiot. so before you ask a question and act like you know what people think get your facts straight, second off Adam and Eve were designed to be perfect...yet in the nature of will which God gave them as humans they chose to use that will against him and eat the apple thus creating sin. His fourth creation, yet again your are wrong, knew it was wrong to kill yet he had anger in his nature because his mom and dad sinned and he killed. You tell me why life isn't perfect, you tell me why God letting you live another day isn't perfect because frankly it is because the love that he has for you surpasses the anger that I have right now. and also just to let you know in your "all knowing fit" that God never promised us a perfect world AFTER Adam and Eve sinned by sinning they gave that up so, you my friend need to get your facts straight because you have no idea what you are talking about.

Jesus is God you can also research that under the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). Nothing on earth is perfect and that's why we needed Jesus to die on the cross for our imperfections. Free will is the reason we are imperfect not God. He allows you to choose to follow or not to, most of the "problems" that we run into on a daily basis can be solved simply by following the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.

this is my thought
try to imagine a perfect big sphere with bilion of element stuffed in.
All the elements are regulated by a perfect equilibrium.
Now imagine that the big sphere wants to reproduce that equilibrium and decide to create another virtual sphere (the world)
Now the big sphere put an element in the world something like a valve, a valve that can regulate the perfect equilibrium (the famous tree) it control the life, the death, and many other stuff like this.
Than the big sphere say.
Don't touch the valve, because it control the life, the death and the other equilibrium stuff. If you will, you will die.
Now the man (that was sure created in perfection, but whom equilibrium was controlled by the valve) goes and touch the valve.
Ovviestly the equilibrium suddently broke out and the forces regulated by it come out nonsense.
so the big sphere have to repair the man fault and he decide to create an alternative, temporary equilibrium (until the end of the times) that we know as life
:)

God never claimed that humans or any earthly creation would be perfect. When he created Adam and Eve, THEY were perfect. However, he gave them free will and the power to rationalize and reason. And they consciously chose to disobey his mandate not to eat fruit from a particular tree. Once they defied him, they were banished from paradise and their once perfect bodies were now flawed and mortal. Read Genesis and it will explain what happened.
Life on earth is not meant to be paradise. It is simply an opportunity for us to earn our way into heaven. True believers know that accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior is the only path to heaven. The earth is Satan's playground. It is his kingdom, not God's.

If God had made us all little robots we would have been perfect and "tra la la " we live happily ever after. However, God gave man free will to chose to follow and love Him, because He didn't want robots. God wants a family. Satan, hates God and consequently, he convinced man to rebel against God and its been bad news since then. When man fell so did the whole world. When I look at the world and see a beautiful sunrise or beautiful scenery or sit by the waters edge I see the beauty that God created.

A perfect God would have no reason to create humans or anything else outside of itself. Creations serve the purpose of doing things that the creator cannot. Our very existence dictates that God be imperfect, if existent at all.

God gave Adam and Eve the ability to decide to do right or wrong. He didn't make them eat the fruit(wasn't an apple). He made things the way they are for a reason. We don't always know the reason, but we don't need to because God knows what He's doing. We're not perfect because that's the way He made us. He did that so we could CHOOSE to worship Him. Wouldn't you rather to have people choose to like you, instead of liking you because they have no choice but to like you?

Because there's no God, it's all made up like the tooth fairy.
The Intelligent Design people are so easily thwarted by questions like:
Why do men have nipples? What's intelligent about that design?
When a giraffe sees, tastes, smells, and hears something, why does the nerve impulse have to go all the way down to the base if it's spine and come all they way back up again to it's brain? Why not just wire it directly in, six inches? What's intelligent about that design?
