Does that mean that Proverbs 16:4 says that God created Himself?Either God did create evil, he saw evil as a consequence of his creation and did nothing about it, or his 'perfect' creations were deeply flawed. Anyway you look at it God doesn't come out looking like God. Your God may have not created televisions but since, according to you, he created everything, then he created the laws and capacity for televisions to exist. You can try to spin it any way you want but God is responsible for evil.
How about "televisions" - they're nouns and things! Does the verse mean that God created televisions?
How about "nothing" - that's a noun! Did God create nothing?
