god not of this world
If god is perfect, then it stands to reason it has nothing to do with this world. Everything here decays and dies. Perfectness would never die. We created this world, that is why it is imperfect. We are still in god's heart, it is up to us to remember we're there.

but perfection does not necessarily beget perfection. if a perfect "being" were to create perfection it would be duplicating itself and what would be the point of that?

I believe that 'someday' mankind will learn from their mistakes, and use their free will to better his creation instead of destroy it.

How can we have free will if God knows what we're going to do before we do it?
Off topic but, does God have a penis? In the bible, it says man was created in His image. If he does have one, what does he do with it? Why would he have one if he can't reproduce? I'm not trying to insult anybody, I'm just curious.

doesn't that seem rather pointless?

God knows the heart of man, but I question wether he knows every little choice we will make. On a whole I believe he knew we would fall, and knew that we must fall to appreciate the more worthy things in life, therefore he also knows that we will [eventually] learn from our mistakes, and choose the worthy over the unworthy in time.

now i realize that you are probably no biblical scholar, but don't you realize that merely saying that we can't hope to understand the mind of god is pretty much like saying "once upon a time" or "and they lived happily ever after". if the outcome is known beforehand (by man, god or plankton) then that outcome is predestined.
no ifs, ands or buts about it.
