To me, the issue does not seem to be whether the Earth and human experiences were made perfect, but whether the human experience was to have its apparent potential to experience accepting God as primary relationship and sovereign authority via choice or via behavioral limitation. Trees, rocks and perhaps all other "Earth content" seem to have behavioral tendency that (perhaps at least generally) seems to work harmoniously with other aspects of reality (the predator experience might warrant additional clarification, but for now, the general point ...). Humans, however, seem to have the potential to perceive goals that conflict with God's apparent design of reality. Perhaps the goal was to allow humans the privilege of experiencing that level of "power" or capability. The simple design seems to be to accept God as primary relationship and sovereign authority with regard to the yielding of that "power", and all would be as good as Genesis 1 seems to suggest God considered it to be. The risk seems to have been the potential for limited-perception beings to replace God as primary relationship and sovereign authority, and to harmfully conflict with reality as a result of not accepting omniscient, supremely benevolent God's guidance away from such harmful conflict.
I seem grateful to God for the apparently superlative Earth-existence form, and for the potential for optimal human experience, and I hope to realize that optimal human experience potential by implementing the apparently simple plan of accepting God as primary relationship and sovereign authority.
