Why Not Question: Was the 'fall' really all Eve's fault?

For centuries, religious leaders have blamed Eve for man's downfall. Their version is that she went to the tree alone, listened to the serpent and then took the fruit to her husband who ate it.

However, when one looks at Genesis 3:6 (KJV) a different story emerges.

'And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was pleasant to the eyes and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.'

Did you catch it?

The verse said 'gave also unto her husband with her'. Meaning, Adam was standing right there when the serpent tempted Eve - AND DID NOTHING TO STOP HER!

Adam knew the commandment of God as well, yet when his wife reached for the fruit, ate it, then gave it to her husband and he ate it, it shows that by inaction and failure to remind woman of what God has said, Adam, too shares the blame for mankind's fall.
