God created Adam as the first human on earth from dust. He did not experience childhood. He did not experience the love of a mother, father, siblings, friends, or relatives. But God Himself had a direct relationship with Him and met Him every day. God created Eve as a partner to him. But Adam instead of loving the God who created everything for him loved the partner (Eve) whom God created. Because of that, he couldn’t shun the fruit when Eve gave it to him. Even after knowing it was a sin, he ate it and sinned in the sight of God.

2. Blamed his wife instead of accepting his mistake.
