Most religions, especially christianity asserts that God is ominiscience. If so, why did He creat man that eventually disobeyed Him. Since He is all-knowing, He would have know that Adam and Eve would have been out-wit by the devil and so He won't have expose them to the risk. I surely don't understand why God allowed them to fall into sin and then let His son, Jesus, to die just to save mankind. This sounds rediculous to me; That someone in position to prevent a problem from occurring lets the problem occur then it costs Him dearly to rectify the mistake. Can someone convince me that God is ominiscience and that I should believe in what I have been taught about Him since my childhood.

The concept is called "free will". God created man with the ability to choose to serve Him or not. Each man or woman must choose to serve God based on faith from an honest and contrite heart.

Creation of Man
It was clay and water with which God created Carl Sagan, the seed of living beings and among living beings, God created man. With an independent self, to put him in the test and to see, how he responds independently to the Commandments of The God, The Lord Almighty.
It was a perfect creation, with a perfect free discretion. God blessed him with a female to raise tribes and generations and to spread them on the earth and to address them always through The Lords messengers. God ordained for him and for his dependents a day of judgement and created heavens of his own choice and hells against his choice. So, O the Mankind! Always choose Gods will to be safe, because between God and you there is no one to affect the judgement of your Lord.
Listen to the Lord! All the tribes, generations and people. God blessed you with freedom of choice and captured you from the top of your head after your creation. God ordained death to declare the end of the test. Nothing is like this but the test ordained for you by your God, The All Able Lord.
The great reason to tell so is__ that God never gave the creatures the knowledge of creation. Even today in the most modern times, no one can create the seed of anything. Even if all the creation gathers and wants to do it they will find themselves helpless and unable. Therefore, confess that your Lord the Great AlMighty God is only All Able and if you confess and believe that, then seek refuge in God. Ask forgiveness of your sins and pray to God for all kinds of your problems. You will find your Lord Merciful and Kind.
Evil men and women always attempt to gain prosperity through negative decisions. That’s why; they commit sins and break the law__ of course, all wrong. The book of their deeds is the record of their life___ and is nothing but evil and evilish (devilish) acts. These men and women will gain nothing but loss here and hereafter.
Righteous men and women always attempt to gain prosperity through positive decisions. That’s why they commit good deeds, follow all kind of laws of humanity and are not a hindrance for anyone. The book of their deeds is the record of their life___ by the will of the Lord___ good deeds. These men and women will gain prosperity by the will of the God__ Our Lord, here and hereafter.
God created everything, the whole universe and then created ‘you’ and gave you the knowledge of good and bad. So do good, because God wants you to do good to meet the good of God.

I understand your confusion. I used to think the same way. God does not dictate our decisions just because He can. He gave us choice. Adam and Eve chose to disobey. They turned away from God. Of course He knew they would. It is not that He sits idly by watching and knowing that we will disobey. He knows the end from the beginning... that is what omniscient means. He knows all but does not, ever, force Himself on us. He created us, but does not inflict Himself on our decisions. The best way to describe it is to picture the relationship between a parent and child. We do not want our children to love us because they have to but because they choose to. We take care of them, nurture them, raise them up, sometimes cater to them... all with the intention that they love us as we love them... FREELY. Just because God can create a robot-like human who would be programmed to love Him, doesn't mean that He would want that sort of companionship. Would it really be love then??? from God or for God??? Would you want a robot for a child, programmed to love you? God is no different. He wants us to choose to love Him of our own free will.
As to God allowing problems to occur: He does not dictate the decisions of man. He does sometimes intervene on our behalf through prayer. He will never break a promise or covenant made to the believer. We are entitled to the convenents afforded Abraham as the brethren of Christ through faith. But God will not influence the decisions of man. He is not the author of confusion. Satan is a liar. I doubt anyone can convince you that you should believe what you have been taught about Him since childhood... because you apparently have not been convinced by that lifelong teaching. I would suggest you read the Bible for yourself, with an eye to understanding. The choice is yours. God bless you and keep you. Amen.

Out of love, in order to give man the opportunity to have eternal life. He knew that some men would reject His offer by their own choice, but for the sake of the others He still created mankind.

No, I can't convince you. God gives you choice, just as He gave Adam and Eve choice. Yes, He knew they would disobey. So He allowed His son to die on the cross to pay for our sins.
You say it's ridiculous? Well. Maybe one day you'll get the chance to tell God that?

Because He knew that that disobedience would lead through a long and intricate pathway to a greater glory and a better end product in the resulting final version of Man.

God is all-knowing, tolerant, philanthropic... He has created a man down to earth. He also has permitted man to has his own life and helped man to build up an amazing social world, which has been used by God as a return to whatever man has done / will do.

tho the PR would have you believe that the Bible god is all knowing the Bible itself clearly indicates that the god described therein was not all knowing. in Genesis he asks the humans where they are and why they cover themselves. and the Bible god repents ... TWICE. an all knowing being wouldn't make mistakes he knew in advance he'd be repenting, wouldn't make mistakes at all.
anyway ... the Bible myths are only fun to pick apart because so many strangely superstitious people in this well educated society still take the Bible myths literally, believe them to be factual and that's just funny in a tragic sort of way.
