I'm not sure that is true. If God existed prior to creation of the universe, he did so in a state of perfection. No imperfection would have existed. I think it is the other way around: No imperfection could exist without an idea of perfection.

Ahh, but even then the concept of imperfection existed... Hence why the Bible states that the lamb was slain before the foundation of the world.
