No, I've said several times that it was not the purpose for creating him, although it was a part of God's plan. No error involved. Human history has evolved just as God wanted it to. Well, God created Adam either to fail or to succeed. Given that he failed I suppose God didn't want him to succeed. If everything is according to God's plan, then He created humanity so that it may fall in order that He can rescue some!

The destiny of the person is irrelevant to the purpose for creation. Your Church and I assume that Adam is now in Heaven, so Adam ultimately "succeeded". And yes, God created many already knowing they would not wind up in Heaven.
