Any action God performs, being a change or variation from absolute perfection, would be imperfect.
This very point has been a hotly debated subject amoung theologians for ages, Saint Thomas Aquinas wrote of this and from what I read in the Summa Theologica , God is Perfect, and Being in itself. His decision to create was not a 'variation' from his perfect state. God being perfect made a decision to share this perfection, or love. He did not have to do it. He did it out of love. This is simply a Catholic interpretation and NOT a statement of fact or truth. Take care.
