    "do you think that god made adam and eve knowing that they would sin"

    i think he created Adam and Eve knowing that not only they would sin, but that he would also come to earth as Jesus to give us a way to redeem ourselves.

    God made Adam and Eve, knowing that not only would they sin, but all of the pain and evil that would come after. He also knew that He would come and die for His creation in order to deliver it from said sin.

    God's wisdom is higher than ours, and His ways greater than ours, so we can not fully know the reasons, except the one He gave us - it was all because He loves us and wants to have a personal relationship with each person.

    The Bible is the inerrant word of God. The Bible uses more than 40 types of literary genre (literal, metaphor, allegory, irony, hyperbole, prose, poetic, et. al.). The Holy Spirit reveals the truth to the heart of the believer in Jesus Christ. The Bible is also to be interpreted using hermeneutical and exegetical principles.

    Adam and Eve happened exactly as described.

    God knew that Satan would rebel and that Adam and Eve would sin in the Garden of Eden. With that knowledge, God still created Lucifer and Adam and Eve because creating them and ordaining the fall was part of His sovereign plan to manifest His glory in all its fullness. Even though the fall was foreknown and foreordained, our freedom in making choices is not violated because our free choices are the means by which God’s will is carried out.
