>He can't just not create,
Of course he can. Hes omnipotet and omnicient. Capable of everything and free of needs and any flaw. Youre underestimating hes powers.
So why create?

Its his nature. He wanted to. He has so much to give, so its natural to give it to his children. And god will eventually die. If he doesn't follow the cycle of creation, he stagnates, and is equivalent of a static field of all possibility. Such a static force is not truly alive. God creates because its the nature of life to change.

Our mortal realm is not perfect. It is in a state of decay, as the universe will eventually end in heat death.
Heaven and God however are perfect, are not decaying, and will last forever

Yea, but if they sat around in heaven never moving, then they may as well be dead for all the difference it would make. Life is movement and change.

No one said it's never moving. It's perfect, meaning it's in perfect equilibrium, meaning the system is perfectly contained and losing no energy, and such a system can still move around in itself according to our understanding of physics

That is no different than a pot of hot water inside an infinitely large ocean of water of the same temperature. Yea, the molecules are moving, and the pot isn't losing any heat, but that doesn't mean its life.
