That would have created a puppet world with no free will.

Wrong verb.
Man became flawed.
God is omnipotent.
Somehow, I don't consider you an authority on perfection.Yet he cannot create a perfect human.
Oh, I think so.Can't have it both ways.
Nope.If God made man (that became flawed) and he knows what is going to happen (because he is never caught off guard), then that is exactly what he wanted, flawed man.
You are not making sense at all.If he is omnipotent, he intentionally made man to become flawed.
Again: wrong verb tense.Or, he is not omnipotent and he was not able to create anything that wasn't flawed.
Oh, I think so.
Nope.
You're overlooking freewill.
You are not making sense at all.
What does omnipotence have to do with flaws?
Again: wrong verb tense.
Show me a flawed Adam & Eve prior to Genesis 3.
If someone scratches the Mona Lisa, does that mean Leonardo da Vinci created a flawed painting?
God COULD have known. He also can choose NOT to know.
Some choose to sin, some hoose not to sin. It is their choice.
If you are going to use that against us; would you prefer we move it to the forefront?
Mentioning ≠ enjoying; nor is mentioning ≠ seem to be enjoying.
Oh, I think so.
Nope.

Big deal.True, but creationists often have a vengeful "you just wait" air about them when they bring out their threats.
Big deal.
One subset of creationists refers to us as the "Great Satan."
What's your point?
Then what about heaven? Isn't heaven a place where there is no sin? If there is no sin, then it is a puppet world. If you claim heaven is not a puppet world, then why no do the same thing here on earth and thus, not be a puppet world.
Christian theology is so screwed up when you actually think about it and ask questions.
You still have free will in heaven. But it will be as Adam and Eve were created to be. Innocent for lack of a better word. Not tempted.
You can still whatever you want to. Except for sinful behavior like killing, stealing, getting drunk, etc. I don't know about you but I don't do too much sinning here on earth and I like my life. Maybe you do bad things or you like it. That is something you'll have to think hard about.
If we can have free will in Heaven except for sinful behaviour, why can't we have free will now except for sinful behaviour?
Lucifer is down here tempting people and we still have sinful bodies on a cursed earth. That's why.
Everything is based on the concept that you have a choice. When flip wilson said the devil made me do it everyone laughed because everyone knows that the devil can not make anyone do anything they do not want to do.So we are forced to sin?

We do.
Oh, maybe you mean why do people still sin here on earth? Lucifer is down here tempting people and we still have sinful bodies on a cursed earth. That's why. In heaven Christians will have new bodies and the devil is not there. He will be chained up after the judgement.
