We had dominion over the earth until we gave authority to Lucifer by obeying him. This is why he tells God he’s been walking up and down the earth in the book of Job. It’s an old way of saying you own a territory. He also mentions how the earth and its kingdoms were given to him when he tempts Jesus during his time in the desert. God states that you are a servant to whom you obey. By obeying Satan in the garden, Adam and Eve gave dominion over the earth to him and became his subjects. This is also why God tells you that unless you accept Christ and repent, you are his enemy. You are literally a servant of Satan if you deny God.
