Divinity can be proven in many ways, and one of them is to prove creation in the Philosophy of Divinity—my own research.
The word "imperfection, is normally implicated to man's shortcomings to run his affairs perfectly, let alone create himself. Man, as we know, is born through a process over which he has no control, which tells us that the power of creation exists beyond the borders of man´s imperfection. Despite the fact that man has no control over his process of becoming a human being, there is certainly a power that has initiated the process and, at the same time, is controlling the process in its entirety. If that power does not exist, then there is no need to have the word "imperfection" in our lexicon.
Unfortunately, we cannot omit that word from human languages because we see the flaws in ourselves as human beings. So, we need the word to describe what we see in ourselves—in our actions, habits, behaviors, personalities, relationships, etc. That is how we got the word imperfect. Any word in any language that was born to describe something comes from a parent word, which we call the opposite of that word. Beyond the word "imperfection" lies an opposite word called "perfection." The opposite word of imperfect is "perfect." It is an indication of the existence of a power that has control over the imperfect. This also shows that all power reaching the imperfect is supplied by perfect power.
That is why man sometimes exercises some degree of perfection within his own imperfection by hitting a target in the event of a shooting contest. A football player, Messi or Mohamed Salah, for example, may score well during the match, but in penalties they may lose because there is no perfect way to score, but there is a way to play as perfectly as one can. Perfection has a link to absolute power.
If we all agree that Man is imperfect
Then who is the one who is perfect?
Without knowing the opposite of perfect
How did Man know the word "Imperfection"
Did he try the same thing several time over
But failed in some attempts while succeeding in others?
Imperfection an indication of a kingdom of perfection?
But can a Kingdom exist without subjects to rule?
Or imperfect subjects can exist without a kingdom of perfection?
Without perfection there is no imperfection
Without a kingdom of perfection from above
There can be no imperfect subjects on earth
Once upon a time, a farmer would wake up every morning to work on his farms. He worked very hard to sow the seeds. By the end of the day, he looked at what he had sown, and he was satisfied to see rows and rows of crops planted almost to perfection by his own hands. He thought all his farms were in perfect condition.
But when the farmer woke up the following morning, he was surprised to find one more row in each field that had not been worked on yet. The farmer immediately went to work again to fill those empty rows with the seeds to grow. At the same time, he thanked God for yet another row of land for him to develop his crops.
As time passed, he found more rows to seed, and his farms grew larger every day. The farmer would go to work immediately and was so happy to learn that there was always more room for his farms to plant new seeds. Every day, the farmer would work his farms to perfection, yet the following morning, he would always discover there was more room to grow, and he would thank God for granting him yet another row to produce new crops.
Perfection is only in the eyes of the beholders, and too much perfection is a mistake. We must always look for room to grow.
By believing in the imperfection, you are indirectly confessing the existence of the power of perfection which human beings cannot challenge with their imperfection. That power demands surrender from us. Believing in the imperfection while disbelieving the perfection is logically wrong. Those who deny it are rebels against justice. The kingdom of perfection is the reference point from which we draw the line of equlaity. One cannot say all human beings are equal without a reference that justifies his or her assumptions. When the foundation of equality is laid down, a sustainable social justice shall be born which is basically a pre-requisite condition to the attainment of peace at State level. Subsequently, the State could be run efficiently with the magic of democracy by using the rule of check and balance. Without that foundation of equality, there shall be no equation in place to balance what we have on either side of the State. Any democracy that has no link to the power of perfection is doomed to fail, and any State be it Islamic or otherwise, that has does not observe democracy in its functions is, too, doomed to fail. The only thing I see in this world is doom, nothing but doom. I am deaming the birth of a new world. Thank you my friend Roland Hull.
A fine argument, but your conclusion may not be philosophically true.
I worked in the professional quality control. Back in the 1980 there was a slogan, Zero Defects. As someone familiar with data and statistics, I told an employer that zero defect was impossible to reach, and he didn't hire me because he wanted the employees of the company to believe they can achieve the impossible.
Hence it is with divine perfection. Why don't we human just realize we are and why we are here, natural selection by survival of the fittest. We know what is good and what is bad. Enhancing the good and eliminating the bad will get us better, but never perfect.

I think by conclusion you mean these two lines:
Without a kingdom of perfection from above
There can be no imperfect subjects on earth
