Who made us? Who fashioned each of us in the womb? Who created Satan? Who planted the tree of good and evil in the garden? Was God surprised Adam fell? Did God not know Eve would be seduced by the serpent?

God is in control. That's reality and good news for Christians, and it means nothing to those who don't believe.

"For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?" -- 1 Corinthians 4:7

Paul knows there is only one answer to that question.

Thank God.

Good questions, very difficult to answer -- I'll answer from what I believe in my heart:
Who made us? God
Who fashioned each of us in the womb? God
Who created Satan?God - He created Satan as a being of light, of goodness
Who planted the tree of good and evil in the garden? Tree of good and evil? You read it wrong, it was ":the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. " There IS a difference, a massive one
Was God surprised Adam fell? That is anthropomorphism
Did God not know Eve would be seduced by the serpent? God KNEW -- that is different from saying God ordained it. The latter option is that God uses us as marionettes.
