God does not have to have infinite factors affecting his decisions. I would say that God has one factor for decisions in creation, the question, "What system will do the most good?".
If you believe that 'good' is what God desires and 'evil' is what he does not desire, then the question "which system will do the most good?" is merely another way of saying "what does God feel like doing?".
