Did the sin of the devil occur prior to the sin of Adam?
Otherwise, why would the serpent have tempted the pair?

John 8:44 ESV
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Gen 1:2
I believe, darkness, above represents Satan the devil.
From Heb 2:14 YLT that through [the] death he might destroy him having the power of [the] death -- that is, the devil --
I believe the devil at the moment of Gen 1:2 had the power of the death and had exercised [past tense] that power and would exercise it again. Works of the devil. God is going to destroy the devil and his works. How? Through the Word becoming flesh. Through the manifested Son of God. Manifested as what?


? Adam? How through Adam? The virgin woman taken from Adam, the seed of the woman?

What is the last enemy to be destroyed/abolished/eliminated/done away/put to an end/annulled, [the] death. 1 Cor 15:26

Known from ages, is to the God, all the works, of Him. Acts 15:18

Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world [kosmos] are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world [kosmos],and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Is the foundation of the world and the creation of the heavens and the earth the same thing?

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Gen 1:2
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. Gen 1:6,7

Does it appear in the above that the earth was standing in the water and out of the water?

Did the sin of the devil occur prior to the sin of Adam?
Yes to your last questions.
