Potential Christian-Platonist Contradiction?

God cannot make something perfect, because the only perfect thing He could make would be another God. And you cannot have two Gods, so logically anything created must be imperfect. It seems to be a commonplace complaint of atheists. “The world isn’t perfect.” Boo hoo hoo.


Suppose you are God.
You feel lonely and alone so you want to spice up your life.
What you do?
1) You think of something so you transform your mental energy into a space in which you put your mental creation.
2) The air come next but you got to understand that as the space is a thought wave of God also the air is transformation of the space into air as the one below is created by the one on top.
3) The light and heat come next.
4) The water.
5) the matter.
Now you can say that the matter or any other factor that compose this universe are not perfect but at the same time being this creation a transformation of God thought waves into these fundamental factors we also can say that these factor are not perfect.
Considering that these factors ultimately have to go back into God mind then how a thing that is not perfect can re-enter his mind? Thinking
The answer is that by clash and cohesion the matter wants to go back where it belong which is in God mind so the only way is to go back by building up consciousness so to enter the vegetable life, animal life, human life and back into God mind.
In other words perfection get less and less perfect only to once again become perfect.
What you say is not wrong but at the same time it does not take in consideration how the system works. Cool Shades
