In: Is it true that the moon does not exist if nobody is looking at it?  — view comment
The only fact that we have is that experience exists. The proof for existence of other things outside and inside is difficult if not impossible.

If creation could become perfect then we have new Gods. So what is the purpose of not creating Gods in the first place.

The end at which you reach to perfection, if this practically possible. If my argument is correct then God cannot create imperfection.

No, they are not equivalent. They can only be converted to each other. We know this by fact, there is an experiencer and a subject of experience.

So perfection is not the end and you need to say what is wrong with my argument.

There are two fields in nature: (1) Matter and (2) Forces. Are you saying that Qualia is byproduct of force field? There is no other option.
