God made a rigged bet with Lucifer that neither Adam or Eve had knowledge of or any say in. They were basically poker chips in a rigged bet.
The great Doctor of the Church, Thomas Aquinas, said (I think it was the "Compendium,
that the reason the tempter went to Eve first, was that "the light of reason shone less brightly" in her.
Eve: "Yahweh says this fruit is fatal within twenty-four hours of ingestion. Snake says it will not affect our longevity at all, but it will instantly confer an education in ethics. They can't both be correct, by the law of non-contradiction. I want to start human trials to find out who's lying, but the two of us, we're it right now as far as the human population goes."
Adam: "You eat it if you want to. I don't think we're supposed to eat it."
Eve: "I need you to eat it also to rule out any sex-based differences in the reaction. Ideally I'd also have a control group and feed 'em dates or something but I have to go with what's available right now."
Adam: "Okay."
