I agree that sounds strange - But man was created perfect, then sinned, which implies imperfect, but is part of God's plan nonetheless. This is a hotly debated topic within Christianity BTW, and is not a subject we are burying our heads in the sand on. If you want me to point you to some scholarly articles on the subject I would be happy to. Supralapsarianism and Infralapsarianism are the terms if you want to look them up, I doubt they will be answered to your satisfaction, but if we could have complete knowledge of all of God's ways he would not be God.
