they are both at fault.
adam was with eve the entire time she was being deceived. so they were deceived at the same time, and adam did nothing to keep eve from taking the forbidden fruit.
genesis 3:6, "When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, WHO WAS WITH HER, and he ate it."
then as far as where they placed the blame, adam blamed God and eve. eve blamed the serpant.
given all the punishments, the serpant got the worst of it.
eve was given pains in childbirth, but the ability to have children wasn't taken from her.
adam was punished to having to work hard, but this allowed him to provide for himself and his family.
not to mention God made clothes for them to wear since they now knew that they were naked.
going off of what someone said earlier about God lying . . . death can be spiritual, emotional, physical, etc. so "you will surely die" could have been applied to any of those. and it might just be me, but none of them sound all that great/rewarding. not to mention there was a tree of life which would make them live forever, so I have to question if they knew that the death God spoke of was a spiritual death.
just some food for thought.

1Tim.2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
Gen.3:1-5 Adam had told Eve, they were not to even touch the tree in the middle of the garden. She did.
I think these verses answers our question.

The Bible says this "for Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." Ultimatly though they both shared in the fault in that they both chose to disobey God in eating from the fruit of the fobidden tree.

Neither. God is not only the one who provided and led to temptation (by placing the tree in the garden in the first place), but he also LIED about the consequences if they ate from it (genesis 2:16-17 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.") There is nothing in the bible that claims it was a "spiritual" death, nor that they were immortal (to the contrary, the bible says that god threw them out of the garden before they could achieve that). Satan (or the serpent) on the other hand, was the honest being here (genesis 3:4-5 4 "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.")
By applying logic to the mythology, god is the one at fault.

They shared fault, which is why they shared punishment.
They both knew about the tree of knowledge, so they both knew they weren't supposed to eat from it.
Even though I believe the blame was to be shared, I personally have cursed Eve once a month and during labor and delivery for being stupid enough to take the advice of a friggin snake.

If Adam and Eve were the first two humans then the rest of us would be albino and very sick right now. Dead actually.

That is just a fictional story. If have not figured that out yet you need to be reeducated.
Besides if you really want to get biblical god hates all sin and would judge both of them with the same hel fire. Burny burny wrath warth Grrrr.
It's stupid don't think about it.

I think God is at fault for making such an obvious setup. Look at any person who has everything--they still want the thing that's out of reach. God made them, and made human nature. Why on earth would he have created such a cruel situation?

Eve was decieved, Adam knew what he was doing, he thought it better to die, than to live forever without her. His sin was that he loved Eve more than he loved God.
As for who was at fault I think they share the blame. But that's just my opinion.

I feel G-d just wanted repentance. He asked Adam first, so I say Adam. Like a typical male, he said "that woman made me do it"
Then eve said "that snake made me do it!"
He was looking for REPENTANCE not excuses, neither offered repentance, so I say both.
