our choice, so therefore he created us with the knolledge that we would choose evil, ie not perfect. Explain.

Well God wants to know who truly believes in Him so then He made us.

The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of imperfection or sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case and we are perfect creations of a perfect God then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.

No one chooses to be imperfect!
We are imperfect because Adam & Eve sinned.
Although God is "all seeing", he does always use this ability.
For instance, in dealing with the Isrealites many times, the bible says God was "hurt", by what they had done. If he'd known before hand that they would disobey him, he would not have been hurt.
Although we cannot help, but be imperfect now. God gives us the oppurtunity to regain perfection. Some of us have chosen to take advantage of this oppurtunity. Some have not.

We haven't chosen evil or imperfection. It was handed down to us from our first human parents Adam and Eve. They were perfect when they were created but when they sinned (God warned them first not to eat the fruit of the tree) they started to die from that day, to degenerate. We have inherited this from them. being no longer perfect they couldn't produce perfect children.
God created them, gave them everything, settled them into a paradise garden & all he wanted in return was their respect & obedience. It wasn't too much to ask. He is a loving God and he gave them free will. He didn't create mankind to be like robots, programmed to follow him. That's why he gave them free will.
Our inclination is toward doing bad but their inclination was toward doing good so there is no excuse for them. We all suffer, grow old & die because of their choice back then.
God will put it all back right again soon.

In order for us to choose to love God we must have free will. He did not want us any other way.
Though He allows many to run from Him, He waits. He has all the time in the world, even though we do not.

I wonder what "knolledge" means. Is it something to do with the Kennedy Assassination?

The god of believers is only as good as the minds that dream him up. So far, not a very impressive guy at all.

it's like this, u create something but u are not sure of what u created and it's abilities so u put it to test to find out. so evil,greed,lust etc are used as tests which in most cases we fail

Is that the reason he keeps killing all of his creation? Seems a little on the sadistic side to mean.

If, in the future, he never created humans, then he could not have seen that they would "fall".
