Why Did God create the being who He knew would become Satan?

Would evil and sin still exist if Satan never existed?

Have you ever wondered why doesn’t God get rid of Satan right now, since He’s all-powerful?

If sin and evil did not exist, how would humans (or angels) rebel against God?

Open theists are going to push back on that He knew Satan would fall before He created all the angels.

Would evil and sin still exist if Satan never existed?

Tough to say. obv Biblically our first parents learned how to sin by the 'monkey-see,-monkey-do' method, so it's conceivable that without Satan we'd have never thought to sin.

But then the whole World came into being through the work of angels, is what we gather, from God feeling the need to create angels in the first place. Angels must be essential to the creation. Not mere ornaments; God must have used angels extensively to create the World.

God is in the process of getting rid of Satan rn.

13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering:....

14 “You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.

15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you.

I will ask again, why not just go with what the Bible says?

He has not been cast out by Michael. Yet. By the way, this is why some believe in the rapture being mid-tribulation.
