Well I believe God is in all things...eveything was created by God, and there is no place where He/It is not.
God being everything, and in everything is two gargantuos ideals. But God did not create sin for sin is evil, and he is not. And hell (if there is such a place) is place where he is not...

Sorry my friend, I am a Buddhist and that is a religion that is over 2500 years old. Peace to you, for you are closer to what I believe than you realize, (no one can understand what God is or is not).

By deffinition sin is doing something other than the will of God so to say God can sin would be a contridiction of terms. If God did something it wouldn't be a sin for him to do it. No God cannot sin..
The way I see it sin is like a vecuum, to sin is to not do the will of God in a particular situation. Sin is the lack of something. I've heard it defined as missing the mark. God's will is the mark so anything other than that is sin. The bible says all have sinned and come short of thr glory of God, Christians believe it's only through the blood of Jesus Christ that we can hit the mark and do the will of God.
OK, lets say that sin is off the table (a bullseye will always hit it's self). Can God make a mistake?

No, but if he does make a mistake it isn't one. He always does things on purpose never something out of the blue hence the saying, nothing happens by chance...

Then why did God tell Noah he regretted making man?
Because His experiment had failed. He took such pride in his creation that now he was ready to destroy it, because he could no longer tolerate the violence that had spread across the world. But tell me this, did he not also regret the flood?

[A friend told me once, he knew how God knows when we sin.
We know when we sin and we punish our selves for it.
We know when we've made a poor choice, a mistake...it's part of our inner voice...and we regret it....I think?
