That's not a reasonable analogy in my opinion. freefallife's premise, indeed what the Bible teaches, is that everything, every bit of matter, every atom, everything, was created by god. Therefore nothing can exist that he did not create. If something is, it exists as a result of the creative action of god. To then suppose that something could exist (evil, sin, imperfection) that was not created by god either means the premise is false (god did not create everything that exists) or that god created evil, sin and imperfection.
