Xeno,
You've got it all wrong.
The bible says in Genesis 1:1 That in the beginning God created the heavens and earth and the earth was without form and void. So, yes God had created earth before he cast out satan. Not trying to insult you or anyone but read this very carefully so you can completely understand.
- God created Heaven and Earth
- We all know that at some point in time that dinosaurs roamed the earth
- Satan and his followers rebelled against God and were cast out of heaven
- Satan was cast down to earth. Many times we hear that it was a asteroid that hit earth the eventually lead to the exstinction of the dinosaurs. That asteroid was not an asteroid but in fact Satan slamming into earth after being cast out by God.
- God created the first man Adam. Adam was to be the protector of Earth against Satan because Satan was now loose on God's Earth. Which is why the bible says that man was created in God's image. Adam was to rule earth as God's representative as God ruled heaven.
- God did not want Adam to be alone so he created all of the animals on the earth and Adam was charged with naming each of them.
- After naming all of the animals God saw that Adam still did not have a companion just for himself so he created Eve and Adam named her gender as woman saying that since she came from man.
- God then created the Garden of Eden and placed Adam and Eve in it. He told Adam you may eat of any tree here in the Garden except the tree of knowledge. In the day that you eat from the tree of knowledge you shall surely die (This is God's Very First Law To Man).
- Eve was alone in the Garden and was manipulated by the snake in the garden which was satan taking on a form.
- Eve ate fruit from the tree of knowledge and she took it back to Adam and he ate it as well.
- When Eve ate the fruit, she had not broken God's law because he did not give his law to her but she had broken the law the her husband had given to her as given to him by God. We Adam ate the fruit, God's law was broken because God had given his law to Adam saying you can eat from any tree except the tree of knowledge.
- We Adam broke God's law using his free will, sin entered the world because God said "you shall surely die" and satan said "you shall not surely die." They used their free will and they made their choice.

Actually . . . . .
Free will implies neither good nor bad choices, merely choices. Religious leaders have added the "weight" of good or evil to those choices, and those choices are relative, depending on your personal religiuos beliefs. Befor good created the universe, there was chaos, then he organized things, then he created religion; again, there is chaos.
