God allowed for the possibility of sin without "devising" it

Possibility? Was God taking a "chance" or was he certain? If he devised the "Fix" from the beginning, it seems he devised the Fall as well.

[God allowed it] To help achieve His ultimate goal;

God needed sin to "help" [sic] him achieve his ultimate goal? And he was leaving that to a "possibility?"

[the goal being] the Glorification of Himself

God has "goals" and he needed sin to be able to glorify himself?

I outlined my understanding of the relationship of God and evil (sin). I believe it is in line with Christian orthodoxy. I don’t have much desire to continue debating Christian orthodoxy with someone that “distrusts all supernatural claims”. Pearls before swine and all that.
