Correction, you assert that only God can be perfect. However this appears as little more than a bare assertion, to which I've already provided counter-examples. It looks like you're equivocating.
Is anything but equivocation possible when God is the subject? My argument is that God could create NOTHING but imperfections, using an idea of Perfection, however vague, that has been argued and defended by philosophical theology for centuries. Whether or not it was coherent to begin with, well, you'd have to take that up with anyone who has adopted Anselm's ontological argument over the last millenium. You offered two examples of Perfection but clearly theologians don't define God as a geometric shape.
