This is nonsensical.
Not stated as an attack on you CJ, just my opinion!

This is where your point of view fails. God has a purpose in allowing evil to be introduced into the creation. The traditional view believes that it is only just the failure of Adam. You need to learn to be a son, and that will only come thru the refining fire of God, either in this life or in the life to come.
God is at work, in His creation, everything was created by Him and for Him, for His purpose and His glory. It is only after man has been exposed to "good and evil" that he can really understand the holiness of God. The garden and man's disobedience did not take God by surprise.
Christ's coming as a servant, makes the creation God centric, it changes everything.
