Souls and God

Name: Nanami 2008-05-20 12:35

Now I haven't read much about logic or stuff so if someone could formulate my problem with a better language I'd be thrilled.
Let's say God is omniscient.
Because of his omniscience he will only act in one way, seeing how he's because of mentioned omniscience seeing himself act in the future, now and the past.
Now let's take a soul.
God is the creator of all souls, since he is the creator of everything. Which means that he makes a conscious decision when creating a particular soul. Because of his omniscience he will see this souls future before he's even created it, he will see whether or not this soul will sin or not.
Now here comes my point:
If God is truly omniscient, then why does he knowingly create souls that inevitably will sin and revolt against God, thus being condemned to hell?
The way one can explain this is if God's either not:
Omniscient

or

All benevolent

What do you guys think?
Did I think it through this time?

I have to give props to a fellow poster, A2U, he really has his work cut out for him. But more about this God thing. Here's another thing that I've noticed about life. Everything that we can perceive is built upon levels, cells are built upon molecules built upon atoms, and so forth. So, I began research on the human brain, and vuala, there it was! The brain started out very primative as well and grew over top of pre-existing primative brain centers, 3 in fact, to what we currently know as our whole brain, the most impressive of ours is the neo-cortex. The great thing about this neural network of memory and decision making is that it can interact with two seperate sides through one conduit, as well as the two lower brain systems on a chemical interpretational level known as the ego. The ego is an interpretter for the ID which is the control center for all chemical emotional reactions. The link is that our consciousness and our perception get confused with our chemical emotions sometimes and sometimes that happens so often that it becomes natural and eventually becomes a habit. Yes, god was a true inventor. One being who surrendered his existence to the creation of project. He spread his essence across an entire field of space-time allowing for potential and kinetic energies to not only follow their nature, but to continue his as well. His seeds is within everything, we are ... the pod people. :P
