God is not done with His creative process

Explanation:

God didn't make the world to be permanently broken. Based on my understanding of God's character and knowing that God exists outside of time my conclusion is that we're not "the end result of", we're "in the process of".

A perfect God would not create an imperfect world and then walk away and leave it that way. A perfect God would continue to work on His creation in order to make it conform to God's desire for a perfect world.

This is why God doesn’t give Mulligans. He doesn’t need to. From God’s perspective everything is proceeding according to His plan no matter how broken things may appear to us. God knows that eventually He will get to the perfect creation that He intended.

From our human perspective, the process of God fixing the break that was created by mankind seems to be taking a long time. From God's perspective, since God exists outside of what we think of as time, there is no time element involved in His process of fixing His creation.

God created free thinking and free willed beings so that we could live with Him in a loving, connected relationship with Him. In order to do that however, God knew that His creation would go through this period of brokenness. So, God already had a plan in place that would result in His creation achieving the perfection He wanted.
