Did God (a "perfect being") create a perfect world, or just a good world?
Verses for reference
Genesis 1:4 God saw that the light was good
Genesis 1:31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good .
Genesis 1:12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good .
Genesis 1:18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

It was supposedly perfect when he created it... but our decisions screwed it up

I believe everything has flaw no matter what. So I guess I agree with rachel.

I agree with pretty much everyone in this thread so far (so I won't quote them all), the world is not "perfect", humans are not "perfect"... so yeah, it's fscked up whether you believe god created it or not.
