Personally, I believe that the universe awoke without many resources or knowledge at the beginning, just like us when we are babies. We should not assume that if there is a great consciousness which created the universe, that it was born All-Knowing. It was probably born as innocently as we were, and still learning, and finding its way. This would explain why it created a system, that is evil even outside of human behavior. I saw a zebra get bitten in the belly by an alligator and run out of the river with its guts trailing on the floor and, the zebra tried to bite its own guts off, in order to run away. A good God who is perfect in his creation, would not create such suffering.
The ant gets eaten by the mouse, the mouse gets eaten alive suffering, as it dies being eaten, by the snake, and the snake then gets eaten by the Buffalo, and then the Buffalo gets put in a cage, and chopped to pieces by a human.
You are looking only at human behavior. If you look at nature, and how violent and heartless it is and the suffering of the animals who get eaten alive, you would ask yourself "why would a good God invent A system of nature that involves all beings killing each other, eating each other, and remaining alive and suffering will still watch yourself being eaten?".
I think that any God that is perfect in its self would not create such a universe. It is cold and heartless, and nature has no compassion. A good God would not create the universe according to these rules. We can therefore assume, that God is just developing, and learning about itself as a growing universe, gaining experience just like us ourselves. In fact, our experiences and memories, probably flow back into the giant database of the cosmic ocean that we called God, so that it can learn from The experiences of all the lives of all the beings it creates.
Otherwise, if the creator of the universe knows what it is doing, then it is heartless and evil. Because in nature, all living creatures suffered terrible things. Even I would not create the universe based upon those rules.
And I am not that good hearted. But I have enough compassion to say "I can't create a universe where animals have to eat each other". Therefore, God is evil if he knows what he's doing. And whoever said that the creator of the universe has to have good intentions towards humans? Maybe we are just some thing he uses to get his laughs. God did not make us in his image. We made him in ours.
