Why and how could that happen in Eden? Does it mean that Satan is able, here and now, to override our thoughts and feelings - to a certain extent?

We have the power of choice, but we can be influenced by Satans voice or God's voice.
Granted Satan is not a gentleman at all.
One old Prophet said that God Leads & Satan pushes!
Also, don't forget, we have a flesh that is still fallen flesh that is "prone" to sin.
I guess the real question is this,
"How crucified is our flesh?"
