Amen, peace, thank you.
Their redundant circuitous supposition says GOD is limited by humankind’s understanding of the existence of something. It denies the All Powerful Nature of GOD to bring our plane of existence out of nothing(clear meaning of nothing as absence of anything.)
How can limited human reason infallibly declare limits on GOD?
Thomas Aquinas makes more sense, especially in the light of the human desire to seek justice - the well ordered just due for everyone in an orderly fashion, as best as possible with all due diligence. (Tendencies of ambivalence toward justice is a sign of limited compassion.)
How can someone imperfect perfect his or her self? Obviously that is not possible being such a paradox.
Since our imperfection is the source of evil and unearned suffering - the problem of evil doesn’t make sense with an imperfect god, perfecting justice.

It makes much more objective aesthetics (beauty), objective logic (truth), and objective ethics (goodness) of an already existing Perfect Justice from
a non-contingent on our plane of existence including humanity Being(GOD),
unmoved mover, uncaused cause - : teach us in GOD’s plan in the time in which we exist after letting our freewill to see the effects of disobedience(much like bringing up a child with positive reinforcement teaching) to give Divine Favor, to be perfected by our Perfect GOD with All Consuming Fire of Holiness.
How?
Well, we who know to be the truth (believe) by accepting Divine Favor by the Merits of Fully GOD, Fully Divine without imperfection, Fully human …

The Way, The Truth, and The Life giving Divine Favor to be able to choose Him to be able to exist with GOD in GOD’s All Consuming Fire of Holiness.

Those who choose by a full act of human reasoned freewill,
to forfeit their soul - betraying JESUS, Blaspheming The Holy Spirit, (blaming GOD for evil explicitly or by presumption & despair are three of the paths of this unforgivable act of free will),
the only unforgivable sin in this life and the hereafter: (can’t be perfected by one’s own decision of inner disposition diametrically opposed to GOD,
and GOD’s Perfect Ways.) I suppose it’s similar to the imaginary plane used for the square root of negative numbers - anti-thesis of GOD in Eternal Death,
that our All Powerful GOD can put in a ‘place’ such as a non-width, non-depth, non-height geometric point - 90 degrees from everything away from a All Things Made New, World. cont…
