The big metaphysical error comes from
thinking that the perfect state gives birth to the imperfect state.
If the so-called perfect state is thought of as non-material and
spiritual then the material is seen as not good (even evil) and
imperfect.
But when Godhood is seen as existing on
the evolutionary material continuum leading to the supermaterial, as
I believe, then the world evolves from an imperfect state to a
verging-on-perfect state---verging-on-perfect because material life
and Godhood never stop evolving (and sometimes devolving.)
"Timelessness" and "infinity"
are also seen as another human invention: without material life
living in time there is no related connection to time or infinity and
they become as non-material-nothing as a non-material god.
The real relationship to Godhood, life,
and human life (or our being an "image" of God) is the
material and supermaterial connection, no invention of a spiritual or
non-material connection is necessary to explain our connection to
Godhood when Godhood is understood as material/supermaterial as we are and wish to be.
