Sin happens. Does God intend for sin to happen?

Isn't sin, by definition, something contrary to the Divine will? Isn't it therefore a contradiction for God to intend sin? Doesn't believing that God intends sin make the concept of "sin" meaningless?

I have no idea what God intends, but I do believe that He knows what we will do in our lifetimes.

I believe that is our human definition, as for God, I do not know His definition or if He even has one. He may look at the things we do here on earth completely differently.
