::: As for Qwestor's point, my understanding is that if He didn't allow his creation (specifically ''man'') to disobey Him, he would have been creating robots, not beings capable of showing love by being able to ''choose'' whether to love Him or not. Also, if one doesn't experience evil, one won't appreciate good. We wouldn't appreciate how good God is without understanding how bad things are without God.

::::But consider that the Scriptures give a vignette into a future world (new heaven/earth) in which the redeemed will be incapable of sinning and yet will not be robots. So God can have it either way, opt for no creation (including the angels) and no disobedience, or a time in which His creatures would fall, be redeemed, then live in sinless perfection.
