Certainly you are no going to say that God predestined Adam to sin, for to do so you would have to admit that God was responsible for Adam's sin. Why would God create man with a nature that would permit him to choose to sin? The answer is obvious. Without a free will, there can be no love relationship, and isn't that the reason God created man?

Are you going to say that Adam's sin was a surprise to God...that He was not prepared for it??

Of course not. God created Adam with a free will and knew that Adam might be disobedient. That is the risk He was willing to take in order to have a love relationship with man.
