Apparantly, he made Adam KNOWING Adam would make the wrong choice and fall to sin.
Are you telling me that he couldn't have created a different guy, lets say Bob, KNOWING Bob would resist the devil??
It was Adam's choice, yes, but God knew about it when God created Adam.
If instead, he had created a guy named Bob, knowing Bob would make the right choice, wouldn't this make more sense??
Surely, there must be some human that would resist such an offer. Why wouldn't God create this human, instead of Adam?? Both would have free will...but God would know this "other" man is gonna make the right choice, just as He knew Adam would make the wrong one.
If such a human does not exist...then it is not fair to punish Adam [if no other man can resist either].
If it is possible for a man, let's call him Bob, to resist the serpent....why didn't God create this man instead? Unless God is just a fool?

damn...once again the Xtians ignored the question.
God created Adam with free will, knowing Adam would sin.
Why couldn't he create Adam with free will, knowing Adam wouldn't?
Why didn't God create a better Adam? One He knew wouldn't eff it up? Instead of one who He knew would?

Old Ephraim...that actually makes sense.
IF we say not even God knows the outcome of free will, that is, if there are infinitely many possible universes due to free will. God sees all of them, but we pick which one shall exist and he doesn't know which one we pick.
Then it would make sense. Although you might call that thought a little blasphemous, then I could accept God as NOT a fool haha.
Thanks.

It wouldn't make a good story or explain how we came to be imperfect. Imperfection is just a perspective, though. The Bible has its ideas on what is perfect and imperfect, and it backs it up with those types of stories. The Bible doesn't have to make sense as long as it is taken by the majority of its readers as truth and sensible. That is fatal.

God is not a fool even though he new that would happen does not make him the bad guy...he punish those who do not listen to him or see in gods way. and plus we all sin once in a while and if we did not ve adam and we ve bob and he does the right choice. then now we would ve a better life with no fight and no cursing it would be a life with out problem and it will look good for most of the people but how would we feel if we did not no wat is wrong or wrong mean. we would just ve a life with out problems and that would be so boring...u we all break th rules once in a while....so with out rules theres no life to me cuz can't always break the rules all the time u feel me and plus god knows wat he is doing and if u doubt god and u don't care about him then he will not for give and u might go to hell... god will doubt u.... unless u say ur srry before u die then maybe u will be save it depends so don't say that god is a fool cuz he is not and u know that in ur heart but the part of u don't know that so that's why u ask this type of ques...that is all i ve to say and i hope u think about wat i say ok...god bless u and ur soul...

The New Adam is Yahshua

You bemoan that "we" are brainwashed, and yet you wanted God to create someone who was brainwashed instead of who would not resist temptation and not be obedient? Wow, that's circular reasoning.
It's also similar to a gazillion other questions from atheists on this board.

Again, for the 10,000th time. God does not exist.

If I were you, I'd be really careful about calling a fool the One who holds your very breath in His hand.
