Seems like a cop out to me. God is also omniscient. Man did some things, but all within a predefined context that God created with complete ability to foresee how it would play out. Suppose we imagine that the story of Eden is real.
God has omniscience to know exactly what will happen. Even if you somehow claim that human free will overrides omniscience, which seems unlikely, an intelligent being could predict the outcome of the circumstances to varying degrees of precision.
The real Christian view, though not often admitted, seems to be that God doesn't really give a shit about earthly life because it's all irrelevant compared to eternal paradise in heaven. Jesus offering forgiveness makes it all good, because you get this infinitely more heavily weighted component to your infinite lifespan even if your earth life sucks. Which, hey, isn't wrong, given the premises.
