Your question assumes that God thinks linearly as we do. You assume he has a thought, says, hmmm, then has another thought. Yet, God exists outside of time, existing in the forever now. God sees everything in an instant, the beginning and the end. So at the same time God decided to create Adam and Eve as morally free agents, he also knew that he would need to redeem his creatures.

When you start to ask questions like this, you have to realize more and more how ridiculously illogical the bible is. This stuff does not hold up under any sort of serious scrutiny. I can't understand why people say it's the greatest book ever written - any decent writer would have noticed all the inconsistencies and fixed them to make the story more plausible...

it's just a tale
it's symbolic, from many other cultures to attempt to explain a possible origin
I say no origin, we can see that chickens and eggs co-existed and neither came first, just premature excitement from the Rooster and the hen was upset at her roll over guy

don't know, but I know this much, that true love is created out of free-will.
