First, we need to understand that man was not "cast" to the earth as if by some curse. The Bilble says that the earth was created FOR man, and man was created to inhabit and take care of the earth. He created the earth to be inhabited, and the earth was given to humans as our home.-(Genesis 1:28;Psalms 115:16; Isaiah 45:18) As far as Satan is concerned, the book of Revelation tells us in chapter 12, verse 9, that he was cast out of heaven, and confined to the vacinity of the earth. This was a curse for him for two reasons. One reason is that prior to his being cast out of heaven, he was free to roam about through the heavenly realms. We read in Job chapter 1, verse 6, that at some point during the lifetime of God's faithful servant Job, there was a gathering in heaven " when the sons of the [true] God entered to take their station before Jehovah, and even Satan proceeded to enter right among them." This indicates that Satan still had the priveledge of roaming thoughout the heavenly realms during Job's day, so man was on the earth before Satan was cast out. The second reason that this is a curse for Satan is found in Revelation in chapter 12 verse 12, where it says "...the Devil has come down to YOU, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time." So he is angry because he knows his time left is short, he will soon be destroyed.

How did human beings know that the earth was a sphere before the use of satellites?

Some very wise man noticed that the shadow cast from a stick placed vertically in the ground was a different angle at exactly noon than the angle of shadow cast at exactly noon from a vertically placed stick in the ground at a location further north. By employing mathematics, he was able to deduce that the earth is in fact, roundish.

Was the serpent in bible in genesis a man or snake?

If you are talking about the serpent that got Adam and Eve kicked out of the Garden of Eden, then it wasactually Satan. He disguised himself as a serpent, or snake if you want to call it that, and tempted Eve with it. so it was neither man nor snake. It was a fallen angel, Satan.

Where in the Bible do God and Satan talk before man was made?

There is no place in the canonical Biblical texts where God and Satan talk to each other before man is created. Many events, such as the creation of the angels (including Satan) take place "off stage" -- they're not recorded, though we know they must have happened because they are referred to later. Jesus declares in the Christian New Testament that he witnessed Satan "fall like lightning from heaven" but there is no suggestion that they spoke to each other.
