Well, reading about his problems with socialization and his inability to keep his temper in check (which he seems to constantly regret), I would say that the Old Testament admits, "Yes!"

Re: Perfect?
Without looking it up, I just recall Genesis saying that things were "good" when God created them. That's pretty subjective. And I'm sure that when humans were created, on a Saturday, with God itchin' to punch out and start the week-end, that standards for "good" were probably even lower than usual.

Once again, my attempt to be irreverent (and perhaps offensive) blows up in my face.
