Yes, he knew, but it was not IN His Plan for them to Fall. They made that decision.
Had they Not eaten from the tree life would be flawless and sin free. Satan and his fallen angels would have been destroyed in the lake of fire and we would have not even know about them.

Eating from the Tree of Life wasn't the problem. The issue was eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The first prohibition was to remain in ignorance (romantically labelled as "innocence"); the first sin was the pursuit of knowledge. Did Jehovah know this was going to happen? If you believe this literally happened, probably not. The way the Genesis myth reads to me is that man was expected to remain ignorant and live as one of Jehovah's pets in the garden, never attaining to his innate potential.

God knew exactly what He was doing AND what man would do eons before He made him,and He still knows everything about everything and everybody. for the record,Adam did NOT eat from the Tree of Life,he ate from the Tree of Knowledge.

No, that is sort of the point.
Man is meant to be made in God's image and so has free will. If man has no choice, there can be no sin or virtue, because everything would be predetermined by God.
God sets the rules and then sees how humans respond. If you follow the rules, you win and go to Heaven.

Sure. But if he gave us no way to rebel against him, we would have been mere programs doing God's will unconsciously. I think the meaning of life is choice - choosing to prosper or be poor, to seek righteousness or to indulge ourselves in whatever pleasures we can find, etc etc etc. If we did not have choice, we wouldn't have true life, and if we chose to disobey God, we refuse eternal paradise because God is the ultimate life, and apart from him everything is temporal. I could elaborate but it would become a novel.

Yes God know and He also know that He have to send his Son to die and to fully restore fallen mankind and all that He has created on the earth and its heaven. Why He has allowed things to happen this way and no other way is the answer that we have to ask Him in heaven. The secrets things belong to God, the things that are revealed to man belong to man.

The answer really isn't clear, but if God is be all, know all. Then it must say yes. I believe we are put her for a reason, weather to earn our way or not I'm not sure. but remember... we are all born with sin, just from Adem and Eve's first actions

If god knew that that would happen before he supposedly made them, then it was done on purpose.
The supposed god made them deliberately, therefore, if he knew what would happen, the result was also deliberate...
Why would a totally benevolent god do that to all of humanity???
A benevolent god wouldn't do that... Therefore, the god as described in the bible doesn't exist.
