An individual asked this question and went further to say:
Quote
Everything we see around us is imperfect, yet many claim it was all created by a perfect god. How does something that is perfect make such a horribly imperfect creation.

And before you make the claim that man brought the imperfections by sinning, something that is perfect does not self destruct. In order to be imperfect, everything would have had to have been made imperfect from the start.

I see two possible conclusions from the evidence;
1) God is not perfect
2) God did not create the world around us (because god does not exist).

How do you respond to such question?
The Bible tells us that the Genesis creation was “good.” There was no sin and therefore no suffering or death. Why then did God give Adam and Eve the ability to sin, knowing full well that they would sin and bring death and pain to the human race? Some believe that if Adam had been created without the ability to choose, then he would have been a “robot.” A father cannot make his children love him. They choose to love him because they have a free will. Others point out that humanity would never have seen the depth of the love of God, as displayed in the cross, unless Adam had sinned, and that fact could be one reason why God allowed sin to enter the world.
Let's talk...

ANYONE WHO SAYS THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST THEY USE THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD IN VAIN. NO ONE SHOULD INSULT GOD BECAUSE HE IS GOD AND NOT A MAN.

you've already answered the question. Humans have the free will to chose good or evil, salvation or damnation.
everything GOD made is still perfect.

God had intended mankind to be perfect. Knowing that Jehovah God is perfect in all His ways it would make sense for a perfect God to create the earth, heavens, and people to be perfect. Since Adam and Eve disobeyed God because of one man, Adam brought sin and death into the the world. Causing everything to inherit imperfections.
" That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned—."-Romans 5:12

Jehovah God had warned Adam and Eve they would "die" if they ate from the tree of knowledge of good and bad, Genesis 2:16, 17. Adam and Eve made a bad decision to listen to Satan disguising himself as a serpent in the Garden of Eden. Everything was made perfect from the beginning but it was Adam and Eve was created those imperfections for us.
Thus, there was a necessity for the Son of man to die for mankind to cleanse us from those imperfections and to start living a righteous life according to Hebrew and He did.

Such people that claim God does not exist are Atheists because they only reason by sight. Funny enough, some of their scientists now believe that there is God.
They lack "faith."  Just like a mirage, if you table your mind only on what you see with your physical eyes you will be doom forever. And mirage has led so many drivers to their early grave and a lot of havoc like that. Only God's creation is enough to.make one believe that He exists..

Don't forget EVIL also exist and he too has his own followers to accomplish his evil deeds---which is the opposite of what the GOOD LORD wants--includes PERFECTION!!

the bible says " He has told you, human one, what is good and what
the LORD requires from you: to do justice, embrace
faithful love, and walk humbly with your God."

I have a question too, Was Devil also an imperfect creation?.
Anyway 'PERFECTION' is death, So if God is Perfect it means that, He God is death.
People should not get confused between balance and perfection, they are not the same.
Creativity is born out of imperfection.
