Did God consider sin before the fall?

IF He knew that we would sin, why did he still create us? did he not consider the design beforehand? But He did consider the design beforehand!
If he created robots it would not be satisfying for His heart of love to hold relationship with an automated being who only did what you programmed him to do. If he created independent beings which can choose like himself what to do, then we are made in the image of God. and we can satisfy the love of God by choosing to love Him back. The most painful thing is to love someone who does not love you, the most lovely thing in life is to love others and have them love you back, imagine a son whom a father loves who will not love the father. What sorrow. Imagine the same son coming back to Him and loving Him. The Father's heart of sorrow is satisfied. That is God.
Joshua 24: 15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
Deut 30:15
15 Today I am giving you a choice. You can choose life and success or death and disaster. 16-18 I am commanding you to be loyal to the Lord, to live the way he has told you, and to obey his laws and teachings. You are about to cross the Jordan River and take the land that he is giving you. If you obey him, you will live and become successful and powerful.
Love is not what you can get for yourself but what you want to give for the one you love, even if it cost you your life. he did it to show us what is truly beautiful and lovely and true. indeed when we see people like mandela ghandi MLKjr we feel something honourable and lovely and good - people who give their lives unselfishly. love is unselfish, to teach us to be unselfish in our love not to get stuff but truly to give everything. that is the good way to live.
1 John 4
10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
John 15
12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command.
we must love others even if it should cost us our very life. because only that is the right way to love.
Do you know that in nuclear fusion cells combine to give out energy and when they combine some of the cells are destroyed producing power? That is God God who loves His Son the Son who loves His father, their over flow of love demands a vessel to contain it. People. humans to have a relationship with. to befriend to laugh and cry with. Relationships are beautiful but no one can hold a relationship with a computer.
Nuclear fission - cells divide, giving engery though their destruction - that is What Christ did at the Cross, destroyed Himself for us. His purity destroyed, His body agonised in pain, His mind oppressed, Himself cursed For mankind that we may be saved from sin, to believe in Christ and to decide to follow Him is to transfer our sins to His body and receive that sacrifice into His our own beings, spirit soul and body = eat my body drink my blood
2 cor 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Holiness of God purity turned into sin itself - the full ugliness of the sin of all mankind throughout all time. all sin committed in all time fell upon the Son of God.
in my opinion the most painful thing he gave up was His father. He was no more the son of God crying our 'My God my God before that point had he called God only Father, but during that point only God'
