God who is before anyone else had that knowledge of good and evil. This is actually part of what Satan uses to tempt Eve with in Genesis 3:5. However, God cannot be tempted to do evil even though He has knowledge of it, James 1:13.

God had told all the angels that He was making His deputy in the world who will have the choice of vice and virtue. Satan was a jinn who had worshipped the Lord and was included among Angels as an honour.
So he knowingly defied God and hence fell from grace.

Far as I know, he was the first Created Being of GOD to invent? it. Or, cause it to happen?
See, GOD Almighty is So Pure and Powerfull, HE Couldn't and Can't get near that Stuff (Evil and Wickedness) without HIS Power undoing (destroying) it!
That's why GOD had to WithDraw from Adam when Adam messed up his Spirit.
GOD's Presence woulda' destroyed Adam.
GOD Loved Adam, so HE Left.
When GOD came down on the Mountain (Moses etc.) the Earth had Already been Messed Up and GOD Almightys Presence and Power made it React (Thundering and Lightening)
Evil and Wickedness cannot Exist in GODs Presence.
See?

All the Angels had that knowledge and they obviously had a choice in what they did or do as they ,a third of them, knowing God and serving him followed Satan

If Satan was created by God, then he could only have knowledge of good and evil if God had it first.
Of course, theyr'e both mythical beings.

Any deep thinker will respond by pointing out that there's no such thing as "satan".
