Yes, of course he knew we would eat from the tree and I said as much.

I don’t suppose you believe any of this anyway, but humor me for a moment. out of interest, if you were God, and you knew that would happen, what would you do? Would you abstain from creating anything? Or would you create people without the ability to make choices? Or would you make people with free will anyway?

It seems like those would be the only three options available to God.
