If God does know. Why doesHe create them anyway?

God knows everything or He wouldn't be God.
He creates people knowing some of them will kill themselves. But, it is the person that chooses to do that. Very sad.
But if we follow your question to a logical conclusion, then God, knowing who would believe, who would not believe, could just skip this whole human being thing and get right on to eternity. He places us here so that we have the opportunity to choose. Some make bad choices, but it was their choice, not God's.

Yes. For God has told us 100s of years before something would happen, that it would happen.
What happens to us, is effected by what others do to us. If someone experiences something bad; being as close to God and Jesus as you can is the best to have to keep oneself strong.
Sometimes things that seem neg. can be really positive and from God. Like I am the mother of two kidnapped sons. Will I ever see them again? Heaven only knows, for I don't. But God graced me with epilepsy since my childhood. And the spells come and remove the stress! So I now thank God for it. One time the spells stayed gone for six weeks and the pain was terrible. It was great when one finely came.

You could also ask why God creates people when he knew that they would be murdered, or become a drug-addicted prostitute, or become a child soldier in a civil war.
He knows everything that ever has and ever will happen, but gives us free will for determining our lives. Because He's everywhere at all times, He just knows what we'll decide. That's not the most satisfying answer, but I'm afraid that's all we'll know in this lifetime.

They were created thousands of years ago. The flesh life we live today is a part of our fallen nature. God never created anyone that He didn't want to live forever. He will save ALL. So many deluted christians think that this life is it,that this small 70 years is all God will accept or deal with us. This is a false concept,for He deals with the dead as eaisely as the living. That is how He went and preached to the disobdant spirits in prison after His ressurection. Remember the words of king David, if I make my bed in hell,behold thou art there. Christ has deafeated death,and can deal with the dead as well as the living.

God knows the date you were supposed to die and not the date you took your life. You will be kept in a holding place if you commit suicide and when the date you should have died comes you will be released so it really doesn't do you any good to try and get out of this life before your time! He will do anything to try and stop you from killing yourself - unfortunately Satan will do anything to try and make you kill yourself!

Why wouldn't He? He does know all about us before we are created. We can't say someone is going to hell because they commit suicide. Only God knows our hearts, and only He is Judge.

There are many things about our destinies that are decided upon before birth, and many others that are decided as we go.
The purpose or, more deeply, essence of life is experience. There are many things to learn, experience and teach through a suicidal lifespan.
I suspect that at death, we sift through our experiences and influences and discard or forget those which are not deeply valuable, then plan another life that will teach us things we found lacking from our previous foray.
This, of course, would be reincarnation.

Free will - simple answer but thats what you'll receive.
A better response is that people are in charge of their own destinies on the path called life - whether God created them or not has no baring on them

Yes He knows.
Its God's desire for all members of the human race to turn our lives over to Him.
I wish I was smart enough to answer the last part of your question, but I'm not. Sorry.

Dear,
Of course god knows.
God is AL- MUHSIY - The Reckoner.
He, who knows THE QUANTITY OF EVEN THE MOST UNCOUNTABLE THINGS AND KNOWS THE SECRET BEHIND EACH OF THEM.
God is AL-KHAALIQ - The Creator.
He, who creates everything from nothing and creates all things with the knowledge of what happen to them.
