The devil did not appear in the Garden of Eden. The story describes a snake, or serpent, as deceiving Eve into eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Because of this God punished the snake and all his descendant by making them crawl on their bellies (Genesis 3:14). If it had not really been a snake, but simply the devil disguised as a snake, then the devil was easily able to deceive God himself. Is that theologically sound?
