The bottom line is that if an omniscient God created the universe and set it in motion, it would have known what the outcome would be. There is no way to take responsibility off of God. It knew what the result of its creation would be and chose to follow through on it anyway. Free will is absolutely irrelevant here. Everything is the way it is because God made it so. It created the free will with prior knowledge of how it would be used.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
