It is impossible for us to fully understand the relationship between God’s sovereignty and man’s free will. Only God truly knows how that two work together. Scripture is clear that God knows the future (Matthew 6:8; Psalm 139:1-4) and is sovereignly in control of all things (Colossians 1:16-17; Daniel 4:35). The Bible also says that we have a free will. God does not force us or cause us to do anything (James 1:13-14). We are completely responsible for our own actions (Romans 3:19; 6:23; 9:19-21). How these facts work together is impossible for a finite mind to comprehend (Romans 11:33-36).
People often take one of two extremes in regards to this question. Some emphasize the sovereignty of God to the point that human beings are little more than robots simply doing what they have been sovereignly programmed to do. Others emphasize free will to the point of God not having complete control and/or knowledge of all things. Neither of these positions are Biblical. Again, though, in this life we will never be able to fully understand how God’s sovereignty and man’s free will work together.
What are we to do then? First, we are to trust in the Lord, knowing that He is in control (Proverbs 3:5-6). God’s sovereignty is supposed to be a comfort to us, not an issue to be concerned about or debate over. Second, we are to live our lives, making wise decisions in accordance with God’s Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17; James 1:5). There will be no excuses before God for why we chose to disobey Him. We will have no one to blame but ourselves for our sin. Last but not least, we are to worship the Lord, praising Him that He is so wonderful, infinite, powerful, full of grace and mercy - and - sovereign.

Read Genesis 2 (you can skip verses 10-16, 18-25) -3 v 1-6. God made humans perfect, but he gave them a choice. Humans picked the wrong choice, but God decided to let them live. He could have scraped earth out of existence and started again but he didn't, he gives us one more chance, through Jesus.

No. The mistake of creating us?...then we wouldn't exist...our existence isn't a mistake. The mistake of giving Adam and Eve the choice to disobey?...no, all parents have to let their children make their own choices and God had no need for programmed slaves that obeyed without question. What mistake?

No, us as humans was not a mistake... but.. God did not mean for the Earth to be like this, like all of the bad crap thats going on. But, I don't think he would consider us a mistake. Because he loves everyone unconditionally!

according to the Bible, in the beginning everything was perfect but God gave man the capability of choosing to obey or disobey God and man chose to disobey so because of this, sin entered the world and corrupted the purity that God made us originally to be. You might not believe this but this is Biblical.

You'd think a perfect God wouldn't f_u_c_k up so often. He created the great flood once to correct his mistake. How many mistakes will we let him get away with? If I was His boss, he would have been fired a milenium ago.

God Loves all of us. We are the ones would make the mistakes.

No, God's designs are perfect and we were perfectly made and it is through sin we are made imperfect . Our mistakes are solely our own, not God's.

Maybe you just don't get God's sense of humor.
Look at armadillos for instance. ;)
I'd also need to look at the blueprints.
