You are trying too hard to impose your own limited understanding of perfection on a God you can't possibly grasp. If God indeed is as those in this thread are believing him to be, then it is folly for you to expect to grasp the notion of God's true character, powers, desires, whatever.
Those who insist on grasping God will never be satisfied because we just don't have the tiniest fraction of mental capacity required to create all of existence. I would argue that the chasm is greater than asking an ant to grasp humanity.
You are free to ask questions, but I'm saying none of us have the capacity to grasp the answers. Surely your logic tells you if there is a being capable of creating all of existence, from the vast universe down to the tiniest subatomic particle, then expecting to understand the nature of this being and his motivations is beyond unattainable.
Even more, the very presumption that you can grasp a fraction of the true nature of such a creator and divine his motivations is the utmost in delusions of grandeur.
You may ask, but you will never know. It is impossible. And withholding your belief or acceptance until you know will be a frustrating folly that will last a lifetime.
I posit that it takes more faith to believe all matter came from nothing spontaneously than to believe that it had a creator. Finally, science and faith are not mutually exclusive. Science believes in invisible matter which has never been observed, among many other things.
