So he created living, feeling beings whose default position is eternal Hell, knowing full well the vast majority would end up there.

That is not what God's Word says. If you read the creation account in Genesis, you will see what God says about His creation and man's position in that creation. The pivotal event for mankind is commonly referred to as 'The Fall'

God did not know what choice Adam would make? If He's all knowing, he had to know the vast majority of his chidren would suffer in Hell forever, or am I missing something?

As to children, Jesus Christ of Nazareth had a special place in his heart for small children. Even though scripture makes it abundantly clear that all men are born into sin, it is not clear about the point at which a child is held accountable for its sin. As to exact scriptural proof, I have none to offer. I am of the opinion that there is an 'age of accountability' at which point a child becomes responsible for its choices. When this 'age of accountability' occurs is likely different for every individual depending on life experience.

But you do have scriptural proof which says those who die unsaved go to Hell forever. It does not provide an exemption based on age that I'm aware of.

Unless there is scriptural proof of an age exemption, would it be mocking God to say you believe there is an exemption? Remember, the penalties for errant belief are pretty stiff.

Romans 2:5-11 - But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God.

That seems to say we are saved by deeds, including Jews. I thought Scripture gave no hope to Jews who do not become Christians.
