Some angels--despite direct knowledge and access to God, exercised their free will and rebelled, yet you would have us believe that it is likely that God (if he exists) could create free will humans without the direct knowledge and access the angels had and we would always choose good.

So how is heaven going to be perfect again?
I think that the continuous physical presence of God will be a powerful enough force to overwhelm any desire not to live a holy life (that's the view that I think most persuasive).
