Adam and Eve and The Garden of Eden.... who's to blame.


After reading parts two and three of genesis, I believe the serpent is to be blamed for Adam and Eve getting kicked out of garden of Eden. The serpent was the one who convinced Eve to eat from the tree. When Eve said to the serpent that God said " You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden and must not touch it or you will die." The serpent said " You will not surely die." Then Eve decided to eat from the tree because the serpent said it would make her like God knowing good and evil. When God found out they ate from the tree he was furious. Eve however says " The serpent deceived me and I ate it." Then God decided to curse the serpent by taking away his legs. While some people might think it is Gods fault for this because he was the one to tell them not to eat from the tree which made the tree seem more desirable to eat from. Some people might say it is Eves fault because she actually ate the fruit and disobeyed God. I still think it is the serpents fault because without him she would of never had the idea to eat from the tree and eventually disobey God.
