God did create perfect world. It's called Heaven.
Of course all the following questions are stated for arguments sake only, since I disbelieve that any afterlife exists.
Is there free will in Heaven?
If so, then people are still free to act immorally in Heaven, and therefore, it is not a perfect world.
If people are unable to act immoral in Heaven, then there is no free will in Heaven, and therefore, it is not a perfect world.
If god is able to create a perfect world, like heaven, then why didn't he just do it here on earth?
Or, why didn't he just create Heaven, with the souls of those he wanted to spend eternity with in the first place?
Instead, what he did, is create the entire universe to be nothing more than a 'soul filtering machine', just to weed out those souls that he didn't want to have in Heaven in the first place. But doesn't everything happen according to god's plan? So, he knew ahead of time, which souls would end up in heaven, and which wouldn't. So, in other words, he purposely created billions upon billions of souls, knowing ahead of time which ones would be rewarded be going to heaven, and which ones would't.
What an inept deity.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
