Didn't have a clue... Was totally shocked that humans would behave in such an un-civilized manner...
Right...

Of course God knew. But to make us perfect would be much worse than having His creations rebel against Him of our own free will. If God made us perfect and Adam, Eve,and Cain had never committed their sins, then we would worship Him becuase we knew nothing else. But because we have a sinful nature, God takes special delight in the praise we give Him because we just want to.

Yes, because God sees and knows all. Or no, because God gave us freedom to choose and can't anticipate. Or maybe, because God knows some things are going to occur, but not everything. Or it doesn't matter, because God couldn't care less about us. Or it's irrelevant because the story of Adam and Eve was made up. Or it's irrelevant because there is no God.

Yes, he did but Adam and Eve didn't know...Cain did not know he would kill his brother either, but God did...sometimes God just lets us go on our way and do things that hurt us, so we will be aware of just how far we will go to get something we want...
God knows all this but he wants us to know....

You mean "Abel?" Yes. God knows everything. He sees past, present, and future in the eternal now. Watching people do things is not the same as making them do things. Therefore, even though God knows the future, we still have choices. A three pound human brain can't fully hold that information, but it's true.

God is ALL Knowing, so yes He did.
God is Outside of time. So He sees the past and the present and the future all at the same time..
He's coming again, I hope and pray you're ready.
Why didn't He stop it...well than that would mean we wouldn't have Free Will, or a choice. We would just be His puppets or a robot .
But He created us to be able to choose ourselves to love HIm.

Yes! God is omniscient. He knows everything. Also remember, God gives us a choice. Free will all the way. He will never force us.

That's the crux of the debate, I think. If he knew, why didn't eh stop it? Well, that leaves us with two options that I know of- he's a jerk for letting it happen or he's not so omniscient after all. ;D
