Was Satan cast to earth before man was created?

Satan was not cast to the Earth but to Hell for revolt and defiance against God.When Satan learnt that God had made Earth he was eager to see it as it was formed in the deep void.He did circle the Earth and visit it before the creation of Adam but saw Angles guarding it and hid in the dark void and then in a dark hole as a snake on Earth before entering the garden of Eden.

The Genesis must not be taken as literal but a metaphorical explanation for Creation . People in antiquity were not aware of certain scientific truth as we know today and has this day resulted in unresolved theological debates.
