Help me refute the "suffering will be insignificant in heaven" theodicy

RE: Help me refute the "suffering will be insignificant in heaven" theodicy
A truly great God would have created people in paradise. And I say "paradise" instead of heaven because paradise sounds genuinely enjoyable, whereas heaven might be an eternity of just praising the lord (which sucks).

I know he did create people in paradise, supposedly, namely Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden (well, except they never existed) . . . but God would have kept people in paradise. Allowing the fall to happen and people to leave paradise with the stupid "free will" excuse . . . is a mistake and not something that a truly perfect being would do.
