are consequences of our sins. More like, they are our sins, or at least are our fault.

Exactly. Some people believe it's God who is allowing these things to happen to use. It was meant for us not to have sin in the world. Everything was suppose to be perfect. It was all part of Satan's plan because he persuaded Eve to eat the fruit and she shared it with her husband. Satan was to destory and do whatever it takes to allow people turn their faces against God. Did you know, that Satan is actually going after the people who follow God more than people who worship him or who are atheist? It's True. Anyways, Adam's and Eve's sins grew the roots leading to death, lust, violence, incest (they did not commit it at all, that's false), homosexuality, etc. Like the Cain and Abel story. Abel was favored from God because he would always give him the best offering and Cain would give God the bad offering. Cain was jealous of Abel and killed him. Jealousy and death was first occurred here.
Also, the sins that are here today, were out there back then it just wasn't as common because sin was young and it just entered the Earth. That's why in genesis, you would read about people living up 10 900, and the years would go down as sin started to mature.

Satan's plan was to MAKE people do the right thing, and that is why he rebelled, caused war in heaven, and was cast down to earth with all his followers.

Satan's plan was to rule Heaven and tried to do it deviously. Satan (Satan use to be gorgeous, he could sing, and was most admired by God) thought, since I am so special, why can't I sit on the same throne that God sits on? God said no, because he does not share his glory with anyone. Satan rebelled and was cast down in Hell. People misunderstood when they say that Satan rules Hell. No, Satan is down there burning like everyone else. He still roams on the Earth and can possess and persuade people, because he is an evil spirit.
