What God created was perfect...you are forgetting what man "created"......sin
So God's perfect creation created sin.
Why would a perfect creation create sin?

Why would God allow his chosen come out and lie about evolution?

Why would a perfect creation create sin? Because the perfect creation is perfect in its own, limited, way and not perfect like God.

What do you like better -- the hot car you worked hard to get the cash to buy, or the one your rich parents buy for you? Without the opportunity -- the REAL opportunity to utilize free will, to use that free will to marshal your native-born energies and developed talents to achieve goals, to chose those goals and ways to achieve them *yourself*, what do you really enjoy fully?
Without the ability to make a a bad choice, to have HARD choices to make, how do you grow, how do you become a full person, a mature, self-reliant, trustworthy and confident adult, and not just a spolied child?
That ability to make bad choices -- that's sin. Without that ability to make real choices by ourselves, we'd all be wimps, babies, nothings.
Yeah a perfect design of independent intelligent entities seems to need that "sin" so as to allow those entities the ability to mature, to become full standing adults.

Sin isn't a "thing," so much as it is the natural opposite of a thing, God's will.
If creation were perfect, that would mean it was the way God wanted it to be.
God created a creation that could share his will only by acting freely.
As for why God would create a world that would fall, what is the point of the question? Is it impossible that a perfect God would do such a thing?
