The notion that a perfect being creates imperfection seems perfectly absurd. The notion that an imperfect being is perfected by the torture and execution of a perfect being, i.e. that a perfect being can be perfect and yet mortal, perfect and yet fearful (the Gethsemane prayer "Take this cup from me.") is perfectly inane. But in a perfect world we would educate our children in critical thinking and scientific method instead of gods that impregnate girls, virgins who give birth, dead people who come back (via reincarnation, resurrection, vampirism) witches, the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, and the Tooth Fairy, all of which are perfectly silly.

An Entity that creates things, a Creator if you will, who is INCAPABLE of creating anything perfect would be imperfect Himself. However, what a perfect Creator chooses to do, even creating beings with a self chosen will, is up to that Creator, and does not imply that the Creator is Himself imperfect but that He Himself has a free will.

What's perfection? In the world of self-determining being it is about choice. I might like a messy desk that absolutely drive your nuts. You may like a car while I am SUV all the way. In a broader universal sense a galaxy is perfect in and of itself although very different from each other.
Perfection should be left to those that like to live in mental masturbation.

Is there anything that God cannot do?
Can He create a stone that is so heavy He cannot lift it?
If He can, then lifting it is something He cannot do.
If He cannot, then creating it is something He cannot do.
There is no such thing as a perfect entity.

It can't create anything, perfect means complete, creating means its has wants and needs.

I got taste buds, sunshine, cold beer, nice family and friends, good music and the beach. What more could I need from the entity?

That which we are was created perfect and is a creation that is still in progress.

Nope. How many times has your car NOT broken down?
The Yin Yang is a symbol of imperfection. Darkness within light, light within darkness. Nothing is perfect, and that's the whole of life. The world is perfect in its beauty and its turmoils.

HI
Yes if your criteria for perfection doesn't include procreation or creation of any kind.
