Qur’an 7: 10-18
[10] It is We Who have placed you with authority on earth, and provided you therein with means for the fulfilment of your life: small are the thanks that ye give!
[11] It is We Who created you and gave you shape; then We bade the angels bow down to Adam, and they bowed down; not so Iblis; he refused to be of those who bow down.
[12] (Allah) said: "What prevented thee from bowing down when I commanded thee?" He said: "I am better than he: Thou didst create me from fire, and him from clay."
[13] (Allah) said: "Get thee down from this: it is not for thee to be arrogant here: get out, for thou art of the meanest (of creatures)."
[14] He said: "Give me respite till the day they are raised up."
[15] (Allah) said: "Be thou amongst those who have respite."
[16] He said: "Because Thou hast thrown me out of the Way, lo! I will lie in wait for them on Thy Straight Way:
[17] "Then will I assault them from before them and behind them, from their right and their left: nor wilt Thou find, in most of them, gratitude (for Thy mercies)."
[18] (Allah) said: "Get out from this, disgraced and expelled. If any of them follow thee, Hell will I fill with you all.

God gives each of us free will, free will is a gift but Adam did not use it wisely. You know the world is a dangerous place but would you keep your child in the basement of your house to prevent him from experiencing the world, definitely not because free will is a gift and you would want your child to experience that. God took a chance on Adam, and Adam let him down. Unfortunately, some of us are still doing that.

Easy, whe man (Adam) was created by God, he gave us something that is very important to each one of us: freedom of will. Otherwise we would have been like robots or he would scratch the idea of humans if he knew Adam and Eve were going to sin.

God is all knowing. God did forsee the fall of Adam, just as he forsaw the fall of Satan. God has provided a way toward salvation for mankind through his son Christ Jesus who lived a perfect life. God gives mankind the choice to love God or to reject God.
Satans challenge to the authority of God in the beginning is being resolved here on Earth through the choices of mankind.
Satan has been given dominion over the Earth and has lead mankind further and further fron God. His time is measured however and soon God will end his reign and he will face his final judgement.
The wilingness to submit to Gods authority, to love God, and follow him by faith alone stands to prove Gods authority over all of his creation. His plan for an eternal paradise of love between God and all of his creation will come to pass with the resolution of Gods authority over that creation.

Man (Adam) chose free will choices for his life. God created the form, Adam chose the substance.

Its his Grand Master Plan and intelegent design. I guess all Catolics will answer so GOD could give us Free will. Sure. Except none of religious ppl can answer what free will is if the future is already in the pass.
Therefore GOD exists.

God knows all; the past, present, and future. He knew they would sin. By the way Eve did not sin ONLY, but Adam too. She was deceived
BUT
Adam knew and did not care.
God told him and Adam told eve.
The devil made them think that they could exist without God that they would not die if they ate of the forbidden fruit.
"You won't surely die."
AND
They physically died eventually did they not. But they died instantly spiritually;
DID THEY NOT?

God gave adam a choice to obey or disobey. The serpent tempted adam and eve and deceved them. A really good question would be if they hadn't sinned, would we be wearing clothes? lol

Because God didn't know. It didn't let itself.
It began a grand experiment. It granted free will, and wanted to see what happened.
Now, how are we doing with it?
