Why would a perfect creator make an imperfect creation?

The imperfect creation cannot understand the perfect creator.

Free will can make us choose bad choices.

Besides, Adam and Eve were made perfect - they were supposed to live on earth forever and reproduce children who also live forever.

God said if they disobey Him about eating the fruit of that particular tree that they "would positively die" . So guess what happened? They disobeyed God and died and all their offspring inherited this sin of death. That's why we all die now, from diseases and old age etc.

Even the perfect spirit angels disobeyed God - and they were made perfect! One of these particular angels, Satan now the devil, disobeyed and so did about a 1/3 of the angels in heaven. Because they have free will, we weren't made to be robots, we were made with love and the freedom to choose.

However, the Bible shows us that we are living in the "last days" of this wicked system with Satan as ruler and after Armageddon, those deserving will live forever on a paradise earth and those who are already dead and are deserving enough, will be resurrected to live on the earth forever too =) A smaller number will have a heavenly resurrection to rules as kings in the heavenly government along with God's Son Jesus Christ as King!

The reason this isn't happening now is because Satan originally said about people that we don't need God to live quite happily so God is taking a step back to prove Satans challenge is a lie, because, quite clearly, we do need Jehovah God to live happily, because everyone would want to live forever in a happy, peaceful earth without wickedness =) and that is a promise from God!

No point in trying this well thought out point.

The simple theological standard answer is; 'Humans need free will so that God can determine if they should go to heaven or hell. Being good is easy when your perfection; only flawed beings can make mistakes.'

It's seems a long drawn process when the so called almighty one could just create a perfect civilization, and make everyone happy and content.

God is not imperfect, man is. Quit blaming man's faults on God. I really have no idea what I'm talking about but I'm going to act like I'm a scholar anyway in a subject I have not researched at all.

Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan and tricked by him into sinning against God, breaking there promise that they would not eat from that forbidden tree. Thus, they caused humanity to sin.

Actually, the question is better phrased as "Why would a perfect creator make anything".

Despite the fundie American belief that the answer "for his glory" or "for us to love him" answers this question, its a little piece of Christian theology that 2000 years after Christ still leads to a blasphemous conclusion.

As for why imperfect - why not? If it was going to make anything, it may as well make something it has to tinker with regularly, right?

See if you can understand the writings of classical philosopher and author Benedict Spinoza. According to Spinoza -- God never did create anything imperfect.

Its not that he can't make someone perfect, he can. He just won't. We are called Ihsan in Arab, one who forget. But when translated into English, we are called humans. Actually we are purposedly created to be in this way, limited abilities, compared to him.

U can see his other perfect creations, like the order of the universe. Like the functions of our body. When bad things happen, he just want to test us. That is where the spirituallity comes in. Different ppls, different views.

God is perfect and infallible.

He made all things perfect but the the sake of choice we can choose evil. Because of the evil choices we make we suffer.

Remember, when the fall happened, also the ground was cursed.

Heaven is the perfect place our hearts desire

You could give a perfect gift that could be PERFECT, you could make it with the finest materials, fire resistant, exceptional quality, detailed lengthy instructions for use but if misused. Well it was a gift.

And it was a gift.

Take a look at yourself and see if you can create a better human being? Maybe some sentient biped being that can think for itself.
