Why was satan permitted to be in the Garden of Eden when he betrayed God, yet Adam

and Eve....? betrayed God as well, but they were kicked out?

I would think that no evilness would be allowed in God's garden.

I have an a little explanation that needs work, which is how satan was allowed in Heaven to ask God to tempt Job. . . .it's a pretty similar situation.
 
I'm not certain where you have heard or read that Satan was in the Garden of Eden. In the Bible, it mentions the snake, which the Bible says was "the most clever of God's creatures," and though the snake is often modernly interpreted as representing Satan, the Bible says nothing that would lead us to that conclusion specifically. Of course, the Garden of Eden story, much like the book of Job, was likely intended as a parable of sorts to demonstrate something about God and the universe and humanity, rather than a literal account of how things happened. We have a tendency to over-analyze myths just as much as we over-analyze other types of literature.
 
God did that on purpose, he wanted to test Adam and Eve to see if they was going to be Obedient,since eve was the first person to eat the fruit God made it harder for us women, like how we have to deal with a menstrual period every month and pain at Child birth
 
It all makes no sense. welcome to the real world where there was never Adam and Eve or the Garden of Eden. I was raised with this crud, and it never made any sense to me.
 
The world and the garden was built for the sake of controlling and dominating spirits trapped in ignorance in material bodies by "god." Jesus appeared in the form of the serpent to give humans gnosis so that they could be freed from the prison the god of the old testament created. (That crap about forcing the serpent to crawl was laughable as Jesus was purely spirit.)

Adam and Eve left the garden (i.e. blissful ignorance) and began their long journey to gnosis.
