Did God foreknow that Adam and Eve would sin?

Yes. Most Christians accept the Big Bang, Evolution, and Adam and Eve. The account of the Creation in Genesis uses figurative language, but affirms a primeval event, a deed that took place at the beginning of the history of man.

Revelation gives us the certainty of faith that the whole of human history is marked by the original fault freely committed by our first parents. After God created the Universe through the Big Bang and the diversity of Life with Evolution, the scenario might have happened like this. A manlike being is slowly evolving.

At some point God gives these beings a soul. They become human beings with free will and responsibility in the image and likeness of God. These human beings lived in complete “original” holiness, in perfect loving relationships with God and each other.

They loved God with all their heart, with all their soul, and with all their mind. They loved their neighbors as much as they loved themselves. Then the first human beings chose to break off this relationship with God, choosing to be selfish instead of loving.

This was the Original Sin. Consequently, they lost the grace of original holiness and sin became universally present in the world. Besides the personal sin of the first human beings, original sin describes the fallen state of human nature, which affects every person born into the world, and from which Christ, the "new Adam," came to redeem us.
