Since god could have made us any way he chose, it's completely irrational for him to have created us flawed to see if we can overcome that and be worthy. He created and allowed our flaws. He also knows exactly what is going to happen anyway so there's no need, for him, to wait and see. None of it makes sense.
So, this is a big ask...

Sure. Within the rules such as they appear to be, sure, why not? It's not even the most extreme of the apparently irrational things that god has done.
