I think the elimination of sin is the whole point of the Bible. Perhaps with the added perk/complication that he wants to save mankind from a sinking ship too, not just toss them all out the window. The story in scripture starts with the fall of mankind (sin enters), the plan of salvation (Jesus atoning for sin), and judgment (getting rid of sin).

Edit: Oops I think I understand what you mean now. Create people who can sin but choose not to? I don't know, from the surface it seems contradictory. Either you can or you can't. I'm not sure how to answer that.
