I made it through 20 pages of this stuff, and just skipped to here, so apologies if it's already been asked.
God has always known a bunch of us aren't going to make the cut. The consequence being "hell" which sounds like an unpleasant place. To the point that, and I may be misremembering a bit, but I think the (para)phrase "better off never been born" gets tossed around a couple times in the bible.
With the knowledge that much of His creation is going to end up in a situation so bad they'd be better off never having been created, why go ahead and create us anyways? Are us bad eggs a means to an end? Collateral damage to get the good one's their eternal happiness? Could He not have created a system with just the nice folks who make the right choices, and left the rest of us with our non-existence?
