Response: I think that God made evil possible. But we made it actual. So I think God did predestine the fall, so that evil would come in. But God did not create the evil, we made it actual.

Response: Yes, read the opening section of the book. God told Satan what he could and could not do. Job recognized God's sovereignty by saying "the Lord gives and the Lord takes away." God was in full control of the situation. Then if you have time read the end of the book. God vindicated Job and restored all that he had took from him.
