God could've created humans all upon the path guaranteed without misguidance. In fact, he could've created us all things as Angels (spirits that worship God sincerely), and make Adam (a) and the Rulers (a) into Angels that are even more brighter and luminous and powerful in capabilities. He could've avoided human and physical existence.
Why Does Evil Exist in the World?

In fact, I believe God first wanted us all to be Angels, everything in universe. But when Angels started getting full of themselves and arrogant, God could've kept them on course, but their worship would be of little meaning. So he tried them by Adam (a) to humble them and take away vanity from their hearts. They being highly capable of intellectual prediction, argued with God, that humanity would be a bad idea. It would cause bloodshed potentially.
But God went with it, because the alternative, is that they would worship God but not in a meaningful way. He could've just destroyed Satan but then all of creation if God would not allow others to interfere and lead astray, would worship God out of fear of consequence that is too visible.
Fearing and hoping in God is worthy only if to some degree God is Unseen. Virtue reward can't be too obvious. Hidden we have to be even from ourselves.
God knows the hidden us, and is bringing out trials. This world could've been avoided if his elite Adam (a) did what was expected of him. Adam (a) was truthful and so when Iblis swore by God, he honestly believed in him. He forgot the true God and his guidance because of that. But he didn't do it out of hate or hostility to God and his envy of the blessed tree of light Mohammad (s) and his family (a) which was the metaphorical eating of it, was not out hate towards them, but wanting to reach their station. This too was below his dignity and it was expected that this elite soul at the time of peril would've turned to God through them and reached for help and clarification. But he was deluded and deceived by what Iblis said, and believed in the lie, till he sought the station of perpetual authority - which was the station of Mohammad (s) and his family (a). He sought to reach them and go beyond them, only for it to cause him to fall.
But when he realized his sin, he didn't start accusing them or their God, nor disbelieved, but returned quickly to the path.
Iblis ate his curse and went further astray in time.
Adam (a) truthfulness that made him believe in Iblis will benefit Adam (a) but Iblis will never benefit from the lies he made up.
At the end, the world trials, are for one thing only. To see which one of us will be true to God, the chosen guides, and ourselves. Truthfulness will win at the end, even though, it causes naivety at the start.
Adam (a) was not fooled twice. It's okay to fall, but not to remain satisfied in our stench of sins.
Diseases, and other things, keep us on our toes. We can die any time. With remembrance of death, there is ease from evil, sincerity to God and rescue from Satan the enemy.
As for the conflict between truth and falsehood, it's not that the truth is unclear, but that it takes spiritual battle and psychic warfare to break away from the locks of Genies of Iblis and the sorcerers who follow these cursed beings.
With some prayer, reliance on God's light and holy spirit - that is the leader of our time - the guide - the chosen from the humans to lead all creation back to God of our time, what is difficult becomes easy.
With God's Name - the hard becomes easy, the almost impossible probable and almost guaranteed. Doors open up and a reality of unseen journey we can never expect before embarking on it - and can't imagine it's pleasures before experiencing it open up.
God is the light of those in the darkness still.
