Ok, DC uses Christian concepts to some extent. The Presence is supposed to represent, in some fashion, the Christian and Jewish God.
In the Bible, God knew that Adam and Eve would fall. God knew that Lucifer would rebel. Much of the Bible is prophetic in nature. God knows the choices every human will make...He's God. God allows free will because He does not want a bunch of robots serving Him. He wants people to worship Him, because they CHOOSE to worship Him. That's why free will was established....for man to have a choice. The same holds true in DC comics. Even though the Presence KNOWS what Eclipso or Spectre will do....He still gives them assignments. And yes...they fail...because, unlike the Presence...they are not perfect...they are prone to mistakes. Any being less than the Supreme is prone to mistakes. Giving an evil natured individual a job may have been part of the Presence's plan...maybe he saw a way to make something good happen from it. In any event, the Presence allowed it for a reason. He would know the evil intentions hidden in Eclipso's heart...He's all knowing. So, Eclipso was never, never fooling the Presence at any moment.
