From what I get from what the Bible says, man wasn't created for man. God created man for himself, to worship God and fellowship with. The Book of Genesis seems to draw a clear difference as to the creation method of every item in the new universe by saying God said "let it be" and it was. God somehow spoke or willed planets, stars, plants, water and animals into existance and they came to be. Now when the Bible says "spoke", I understand that it is using context relevant for the level of understanding and technological achievement of around 1500 BC or so. I'm sure the actual creation physics were much more complex if we had viewed them, but in comparison to the omnipotet Capabilities of God as expressed by the Bible, it was at the level of speaking it into being.
The Bible seems to shift gears in describing the in depth creation of man because it states that God formed Adam from the dust of the ground. Formed vs. saying "let it be". This creation method implies something much more important and intimate. Finally, God breathed life into Adam which implies that Adam is now a created but eternal being. The Bible says that God formed man in his own image. This makes sense if you look at God as one and yet three. God according to the Bible is Father, Son and Spirit (the full literization of this does not appear until the New Testament) and man is body, soul and spirit. You get the initial ideas of this when the Bible states, "And God said let Us form Man in our own image". - That's not a dirrect quote and I don't have the Blue Letter opened up because I'm at work and these computers suck.
So if God created man to be an eternal being vs. the apes, dogs, birds and ferns, which are temporal, then where does man go if he exercises his Pro-Choice rights by choosing to reject God or acknoledge him but agrees to disobey as in the story of Cain?
The Bible says God created the lake of fire for Satan and his angels after they had fallen, and since he did not create man for failure, he did not create a special place to send the fallen humans for eternity, he simply economized and sends them to the same place as the fallen angels.
So according to what the Bible says, God wanted man for fellowship and genuine worship. The only way to know it's genuine is to have a choice and choose to worship God on your own. If I tie my son Isaac up to the kitchen table and then tell him to stay in the kitchen, and then walk out of the room for 10 minutes and then re-enter and go into histerics because he obeyed me and stayed in the kitchen, did he really obey me? No, and I would appear to be a skitsofrenic (spelling?) to my son, just as God would appear to be a skitso if he created a perfect world without rules or consequence and then showered us with rewards for choosing to not do something we had no ability to do either.
So when humans reject God, the only option is to spend eternity somewhere other than with him, but the Bible states that once created, man exists for eternity, you need a place to send them.
