Genesis 6:5-6
"And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
And it Repented the Lord that He made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart."
.....WAIT A SEC..god repented making man! So he was sorry he ever created humans?? what about unconditional love?...and how coud he be upset....he should have seen it coming, because he knows everything...and how can he get upset if he is PERFECT? how can his emotions change ife he is unchanging? why dosent he just make the evil disappear? HOW THE HELL DOES THIS MAKE SENSE TO ANYONE??????

Yeah, of course the real question is, why is God such an evil git? Does anyone really deserve eternal damnation? And why create man in the first place (I say man because God, with his depiction of Eve, clearly wasn't a feminist)? Was he lonely? What about the angels? And why did God like Satan so much before he threw him out of heaven? Must have seen that one coming with his omnipotence.
The Bible reads more like a soap opera than anything else and that's how it should be taken.
The Christian answer to your question would be freewill - God gave it to man so he wouldn't know what they were going to do and therefore it's not his fault. Then again, if God is all seeing (which He (not she) has to be if he's God) he would know what we're all going to do anyway so he wouldn't really have given us freewill at all.
As you see, none of this makes sense to an intelligent mind the only way to be a Christian is through blind faith and general ignorance.
Not that the other religions are any different, except perhaps Tao which is more philosophy than religion as we know it: all guilt and threats and brimstone.

I believe God has the ability to turn off all knowledge just as well as being all knowing.It would be kinda boring to know how everything was going to end. Kind of like a movie it's better to watch it w/o knowing the ending. So I think He wasn't sure how man (using his own freewill) would behave. When He saw what they had become it grieved Him and He was sorry he created man. God is unchanging in the sense He is loving, faithful, and just. That doesn't mean He can't change His mind. There are a few places in the bible that He actually changed his mind. Saul was called to be king only later for him to screw up and God took the call off of him. It was Saul who caused the change though. So it was mans actions that made God regret ever making man.

Genesis 2:17
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Because God Gave the option of eating from the tree.
God knew what man would know, and tried to warn him of such things, in which God already knew.
Because of the sins and evil man was doing, God was grieved, or saddened because of what man was doing.
God was not mad at man, but the evil inside him.
Because of unconditional love, God gave us the Christ Jesus.
If God made a mistake, he would have wiped out all mankind, and we would not have this discussion.
Only because of Gods love for us, can we even manage to go on today.
Because God is Life, and God is everything, emotions are part of everything.
The angels do not know emotions, they only know obedience.
Evil will be gone.
That is where faith comes in.

It makes sense to me because I unconditionally trust God and His plan for us, not mine. There is room for error there anyways, because if you think about it, since He created Adam & Eve we have done nothing but dissappoint him. Do you really think He didn't know they were going to partake of the forbidden fruit? Of course He did, but like a Good (Godly) Father, He let us make the choice ( Hence, deliver me from evil ~ the snake ) Even tho it was wrong and He knew what would happen, this is the way things played out. Now, keep in mind in Genesis the commandments and the 7 deadly sins hadn't been disclosed to us yet. So, how could we know stealing and killing was wrong? They were the first of our kind sure, but if noone tells you this is wrong and that is wrong ~ how could you know?
God is infallible. God is perfect. Trust in that my friend. He knew what would happen, and His grander than grand plan had to be played so our Beloved Jesus Christ could come into the world and give us a chance & chance at eternal life with God. You just have to love and be loving to God. I love you.

God doesn't make mistakes, our interpretation of his actions are faulty. Read further in th Bible to see man's progress in God's path chosen for us. We merely have the right to choose or not. Making sense of religion through our human understanding is a neverending task. Religion must be based on faith.

Maybe humans are mistakes, all we do is fight each other. We have such a brain capacity, we should be able to get along.
edit: it's actually a contadiction. If people make the mistakes, then god made the mistake of creating us.

God didn't and doesn't make mistakes. He was sorry that all of the evil was in man's heart. But He could have destroyed them all, but didn't. So He loves us.

God NEVER makes mistakes and he knows what he did was right. It's us humans who disgrace God sometimes by not following his word. He has unconditional love for his people. I dont believe the quote you have in ur question..it's coming from man-made book...go figure!!!!!
