God had no need to tell Adam and Eve, because Satan had nothing to do with the Garden of Eden. The story of the serpent and Eve is simply a remnant of the former animistic beliefs of the Hebrew predecessors and bears a strong resemblance to stories in the Australian aboriginal Dreamtime stories. Satan never occurred in any biblical story written before the Babylonian Exile.

Did lucifer rebel against God before Adam was created?

The Book of Genesis never mentions Lucifer, who is a Christian creation, in fact a Christian misinterpretation of Isaiah chapter 14, perceived as describing the fall of Satan. However Lucifer ("morning star") was a mocking reference to the hated king of Babylon. This was misunderstood and taken out of context by later Christians to refer to Satan. Nor does the Book of Genesis ever mention Satan, who was never mentioned in any biblical writings from before the Babylonian Exile. Nevertheless a majority of Christians probably perceive the serpent, or snake, who tempted Eve to be the embodiment of Satan. Another view is that the snake was a remnant of earlier animist beliefs and was a common motif in ancient Near Eastern religion. The story of the creation of Adam and Eve says that all the animals were created after Adam, but before Eve. On this reading of the Bible, the serpent, or Lucifer, was not in the Garden before Adam, but was there before Eve.

Scientists think the world started with something we call the 'big bang'. But actually, the world started with God saying 'Let there be light!'.

Is there any symbolism in the story of Adam and Eve?

The snake that persuades them to eat the fruit represents Satan. The fruit that they eat represents a sin or something that they are tempted to do that God did not intend for them to.
