If God created all things, then that included Satan. Who was in fact often standing next to God, giving advice. ("Satan" means lawyer or advisor or district attorney). And he's there in Genesis; and God is still allowing the devil to work. God even follows his advice, in Job.

Any negative evaluations of the devil, might be later added in, interpolated retrofittings.

And really the fall isn't talked about much until the final book of the Bible. Revelation. Which often seemed to be talking about the future; though as seen in a past vision.

So like everything in the Bible, nothing is certain or reliable there.
