I may be mistaken but the reason God allowed the fall is not the proper question on theodicy. The question is how man fell, being he was created good, with the ability to sin. If I remember Pastor Winzer gave an answer to that question in the past. To paraphrase "it was that the fruit was naturally a good fruit, in of itself, and it was naturally good to the natural man's perception to eat of it, even though God told him not to eat."
