I believe He created us for the same reason many people want to have children. They know full well that there will be difficult times with the child to include rebelliousness and mistakes they will make.
They might even have to deal with years of rebellion or whatever, but it still doesn't stop them from having children.
Even if they already have one child that is disobedient, they still have other children.
But, the joys of parenthood are rewarding and fulfilling.
I believe we are programmed internally to have those desires because God also has them. God said in Genesis that we were made after His image AND likeness. That could mean emotionally as well as physically.
We could very well have the same kind of emotions and desires as God except fleshly desires like material posessions and sex.
A main difference between us and God would be that God is capable of controlling His emotions whereas we tend to obey them at the wrong times. We know that God can be pleased, angry, love, be sad and desires justice. We have all those emotions as well.
There is nothing like the joy a parent experiences with a child when the child does well. God created us to have that joy. Unfortunately, we are not always good children and the one's that outright reject Him make Him very sad and angry.
That's OK. When this is all over, God will fix things so that everything is perfect. The joys that await us in heaven are going to be so awesome that it will take an eternity to experience them all.

He made the world a good place,. Put the first people in the Garden of Eden, made it peaceful, but Adam and Eve betrayed him and got sent down to live a life of pain and sin. Not everyone is as sinful as the next. When you die, if you are a true christian, then you will be sent to heaven to be with the angels, God and Jesus. Also, life would be very boring if we were perfect.

God, if it ever existed, was purely the formula for evolution, a catalyst from which everything evolved. Prophets in the past painted a simplistic picture of "God" because that is all the population could understand, and it frightened them into behaving in some sort of civilised way. Unfortunately despite the improved intellegence of the modern human, many people still think of "god" as a sort of "being" who created us. Mainly Americans and Muslims seem to think this way

As for angels being higher than man, they are only held slightly higher, as explained in Psalm 8:4-5.
When it comes to why God created us, ask yourself, why do people decide to have children? God loves us as we are his children, and if we follow His word and love Him back, we will live with Him one day after this life is over. God loves us so much, that He gave us free will to decide what we want to do, instead of being puppets on strings. Out of that free will, we are weak and full of sin yes. However, God also sent His son to die for those sins so that we are forgiven and have chance at eternal life.
You have the power to decide the direction you want to take your life. Though humans sin, you don't have to take the road it leads to. God loves you and is waiting for you to love Him back. Trust me, the rewards are great.

He created us out of love. We were created prefect and due to adam's mistake sin was passed in but we will be perfect again when the time comes. We are not weak compared to a spider?dog? Or even a bull? but if we had power with or sin would we benifit ourselves?

Well I have a God but it is not the God of any known religion. I believe we were created as just mortal parts of God itself..kinda like individual cells in the body which live and die everyday but body lives on. I think God gave us the ability to soar as high as "Heaven" and the ability to sink down into the muck of "Hell", at this time we seem to prefer to wallow in misery and turn our backs on the gift of intelligence which is too bad and insulting to God.
As for angels they were above us but had no free will according to scripture so they were closer to God but were lesser creations

We are not weak we are strong and wonderful and filled with many great and magnificent virtues. Everyday at least one person somewhere in the world will willingly die ton save a stranger. Everyday hundreds of people fall in love. Everyday doctors heal the sick, the wise educate the young, family members care for each other, children grow up to be great people and all we think about are the few people who streal or fight.
