Replace "perfect" with "likely optimal" and you get the general thrust of it without the deus ex machina.

"Because the world is the creation of a likely optimal being, it can achieve only the “best possible” state short of divine likely optimisation"?

If understood in a very mystic transcending meaning of "creation" maybe, otherwise it reads still like dogma to me.

That is a new quantum thing to me, but looks interesting, thanks.
