Sorry, but I think this is a really stupid argumentation. Why should God
create a perfectly suited world for humans? If there`re no problems and
obstacles there can`t be any evolution.
How do you define "perfectly" suited? Nothing can definitely be perfect for
humans, because you don`t know which way they will take. The way you express
your explanation implies that you don`t believe in the freedom of spirit.
It`s a matter of opinion if something is good or not.
