I can comprehend that if a God can do anything, then it can choose to make something imperfect..
'
Also that God 'works in mysterious ways' can be seen as just special pleading. His ways, when favourable to an interpretation of Him, always seem clear enough to His followers then. But if one's mind is too small to comprehend, how then can one, er, comprehend that there must be a reason behind things?
I think you'll find things are a little more complicated than that. -

Just above you said our minds were too feeble to understand, I seem to remember. All we can say is, if we accept the existence of an omnipotent deity, then by definition it can do most things it wants. (I don't, so for me this is just a thought experiment)

Well, somethings He clearly does want to explain or make clear. One must remember that God did not write or make the Bible it was merely 'inspired' by Him it says, and inspiration can be wrong. However I would say that would have been done more efficiently if had just dictated the whole thing (a characteristic attributed by Muslims to the Qu'ran though, even there it leads to arguments).

2 Timothy 3:16,17 “All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.”
Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints from the marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
So Since the Bible isnt Perfect, wouldnt that Make God Imperfect too?
