Are you saying God's glory wasn't apparent until Adam ate the fruit? That His glory wasn't apparent in the goodness of His creation?

Only partially revealed. Look at all his attributes that depend on sin to make them known.

So what you're saying is once God has put sin to its final end, His glory will no longer be known? God's attributes don't depend on sin in anyway, sin opposes His attributes. You've got a rather demented view of God that distorts Him into being dependent on creation and that doesn't glorify Him it diminishes Him.

All of those in hell will continue to reveal his attributes as well as those in heaven.
 
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!”

"How can the existence of God be harmonized with the existence of evil?" If God is all-good, He would want to destroy evil. If God is all-powerful, He is able to destroy evil. But evil still exists. It seems that God cannot be both all-good and all-powerful. However, Christianity teaches that He is both. This is the problem of evil."

God also created evil. Isaiah 45:7, I form the light, and create darkness, I make peace, and I create evil, I the Lord do all these things.
