While I appreciate having this conversation, the Bible isn't some "code" which has to be deciphered according to positions which are out of context. It's quite clear from the text and from the most commonly respected positions on this particular conversation, that Adam first makes the excuse that God put the woman there, then makes the excuse that she gave him the fruit, then makes the excuse that he merely "ate it" and wasn't responsible for anything that had happened before. It's the classic, "but I didn't choose to be born," defense.

It looks like Adam told the whole truth. After God told him not to eat it, he put the woman there, then she gave it to him, and he ate it.

How is that the whole truth? That's just a child trying to argue with his parent.

It's true, obviously. But it's loaded with implications. a) It was God's fault. b) it was Eve's fault. c) It was Adam's fault, but he wasn't at fault because he "just ate it".

Adam wasn't being a man, he was being a whiny little baby. He was ungrateful for the hot, sexy woman he'd been given charge over. He was ungrateful for the boundaries which God set up while retaining his free will.

He was ungrateful for being a creation...the same attitude Lucifer had which led to his downfall.

There's no specific person to blame, but Adam was the one who wasnt decieved. If he ate, it was because he wanted to. Adam sinned, because he wanted to.
