In 1971, this question was put to rest in the case of UNITED STATES ex rel. Gerald Mayo v. Satan and his Staff.
Read the case. LOL.
Now, if there was an all-knowing God back in Biblical days, I am sure that he was also a very competent psychiatrist too. After all, he is the almighty, right? So, if Adam and Eve began conversing with a talking snake, they should have seeked a little help for the voices in their heads. And as the court case shows, If Satan does not exist, then it was voices in the heads of Adam and Eve, and also their hallucinations, that caused the downfall of man. I would like to sue them, but alas, since I am a decendent of Adam and Eve, I would just be paying a lawyer to take money out of my right pocket, and put it in my left pocket, while keeping a good chunk of that money for himself.
Now another thought comes to mind - What if the all-knowing and powerful shrink himself did not exist? More voices, more hallucinations. Once again, since we are all decendents of Adam and Eve, this pretty much explains why the world is so crazy and screwed up, doesn't it?
