The fact that Adam blamed Eve is evident of his need to hide from God and to cast blame from himself nothing more. Eve was at fault but she is not the cause of the fall Adam is.
WHY Adam ate the fruit is what I am driving at, not the actual eating of it.
Some how we're misunderstanding each other.
I agree. Adam is to blame. Not Eve.
No, I don't think Adam's transgression was accidental, but it wasn't because of sin that Adam disobeyed. Adam was without sin until he disobeyed.
Why on earth did Adam disobey? I honestly don't know.
Eve, as we know, was "beguiled", but Adam wasn't. He knew what the consequences would be, but chose to disobey anyway. Why? I don't know.
I can find nothing concrete about "why" Adam disobeyed in the account in the scriptures. Only that he did, and then found himself naked and exposed.
