3:14 to the serpent. The cattle and all the rest
of creation were cursed (see
Rom. 8:20–23; cf.
Jer. 12:4) as a result of Adam and Eve’s eating,
but the serpent was uniquely cursed by being made to slither on its belly. It
probably had legs before this curse. Now snakes represent all that is odious,
disgusting, and low. They are branded with infamy and avoided with fear. Cf.
Is. 65:25;
Mic. 7:17.
3:15 After cursing the physical serpent, God turned to
the spiritual serpent, the lying seducer, Satan, and cursed him. bruise your
head … bruise His heel. This “first gospel” is prophetic of the struggle and its
outcome between “your seed” (Satan and unbelievers, who are called the Devil’s
children in
John 8:44) and her seed (Christ, a descendant of
Eve, and those in Him), which began in the garden. In the midst of the curse
passage, a message of hope shone forth—the woman’s offspring called “He” is
Christ, who will one day defeat the Serpent. Satan could only “bruise” Christ’s
heel (cause Him to suffer), while Christ will bruise Satan’s head (destroy him
with a fatal blow). Paul, in a passage strongly reminiscent of
Gen. 3, encouraged the believers in Rome, “And the
God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly” (Rom.
16:20). Believers should recognize that they
participate in the crushing of Satan because, along with their Savior and
because of His finished work on the cross, they also are of the woman’s seed.

There's even an article on this site about the serpent seed theory where Eve is actually [h]aving children with Satan. The Bible has no mention of this. However it does In Gen 6:1-7 refer to angels that came here and had children with the woman of men.
See:
What is the Serpent Seed doctrine?
[T]his Serpent seed hypothesis really makes it harder for people to accept
that I am not talking about the serpent in Eden having relations with Eve.
Instead the story is a little different.
A while before the flood the angels called watchers fell and infected mankind
with horrible monsters.
Proponents of the serpent seed theory believe that
Eve was impregnated by Satan and Adam.

Some argue on YouTube now that the serpent seed
doctrine is true.
Every person can be saved (Jn
3:16). David Icke suggests that lizard/aliens (of
Satan [Ge
4:15]) walk among us. David killed the last of the
giants (2
Sa 21:22).
Though all men are born in Adam (e.g. in sin [Ps
51:5,
Rom. 5:12,
16]), they can be saved by the blood of Jesus (2
Pe 3:9,
Heb. 9:22,
23). While in the flesh, men who have overcome (Re
2:11)—have become born again (Jn
3:7)—still struggle (Ro
7:24).
To say that some cannot be saved because they are
lizard/aliens, is to claim that Christ’s blood is not sufficient (Heb.
9:13,
14) to save the world (Jn
3:16).
And he called them unto him, and said unto them in
parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that
kingdom cannot stand.
And if a house be divided against itself, that house
cannot stand.
And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided,
he cannot stand, but hath an end [Mark
3:23–26].
“What He is saying is simply this: He could not be
casting out demons by the power of the demons for the very simple reason that
then a house would be divided against itself.” McGee, J. V. (1991). Thru the
Bible commentary: The Gospels (Mark) (electronic ed., Vol. 36, p. 49).

Satan said that Adam and Eve would be like God:
"For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you
will be like God, knowing good and evil."
Ge 3:5.
He told the truth. Little did they know that the world
would be worse because of their choice to disobey God. Satan conveniently left
that part out.
God did not say: don't mate with serpents, don't get
drunk and beat your wife. He said: “Of every tree of the garden you may freely
eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in
the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Ge 2:16–17. God had given them one command. Eve’s
sin was disobedience not mating with a serpent.
In reply to Satan, Eve said: “We may eat the fruit of
the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of
the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it,
nor shall you touch it,
lest you die.’ ”
Ge 3:2–3. God never said that. She had added to
the word of God.
"Jn
10:34–36 Quoted from
Ps. 82:6 where God calls some unjust judges “gods”
and pronounces calamity against them. Jesus’ argument is that this psalm proves
that the word “god” can be legitimately used to refer to others than God
Himself. His reasoning is that if there are others whom God can address as “god”
or “sons of the Most High,” why then should the Jews object to Jesus’ statement
that He is “the Son of God” (v. 36)?" MacArthur, J., Jr. (Ed.). (1997). The

"Notice who is asleep. While men slept, the enemy
came. Remember, the sower is the Lord, and He neither slumbers nor sleeps. Satan
is the enemy, and he sows tares among the wheat. The tares are false doctrine.
