Whoa! Back up the horse there Nelly. You constructed an entire distorted image of belief. God foreknew and allowed the fall BECAUSE he had created man with free will and wouldn't violate his principle.

Could God have stopped the fall had he chosen to? Remember God foreknew the fall before creation..could God have made things differently and prevented the fall?

Not without giving free will! It was God who wanted free will so He was willing to deal with the sin problem in order for His rational creatures, angels and man to freely love him.

Let me say this one more time. God doesn't compel obedience. We are free to accept or reject God. God knew Adam and Eve were going to sin. He let them sin because he people are free to accept or reject him. He could have changed everything. He could have created people so that they would never reject him. But that's not love having children, that's making pets.
