> Why didn’t God create humans in this perfected condition from the first place? Perhaps because it is not possible to do that with material beings capable of free will. God has to go through the whole trouble of creating humans, seeing them fall into sin, and saving them because there really is no other way of creating material creatures capable of being in special fellowship with him.

Not possible? No other way?

It appears to me that every notion you are attributing to God with these apologetics, but particularly the one quoted above, has the unintended (I presume) consequence of making Him more human and less omnipotent.
