My thoughts on this are: and I hope it makes sense..

God created everything..but everything He created was not perfect in and of itself..as Only God is perfect..

So though everything was perfectly created..it is not perfect without God...man would sin, because he was not created TO BE perfect...He was created to need, serve and worship God..

So in that way, did God create sin? Yes and No, He created imperfect people who would NEVER be perfect because we are not Him, and being created with imperfections..we sin..so that we can see our need for a perfect God, a perfect Savior..

So does He 'cause' us to sin? Only in as far as He created us imperfectly...
