No. had Adam rejected Eve's offering of the fruit sin wouldn't have taken place. God put man in charge of the Earth. Adam, that is. Though the first sin was of the serpent (not actually the serpent, but the spirit creature who used the serpent) the first sin as far as Adam or man was concerned was through Adam.
Based on the mythology, Eve would have been the first human to sin. Of the cognisant "creatures" , God or the serpent would actually fit the bill better.
Yet , even the serpent did nothing evil . He told the truth.
So , that leave God as the culprit.
That either of the humans sinned is theological dogma.Their creator gave niether of them the ability to decide right from wrong. He forbid them the ability to consume the very fruit that would have given them the moral compass to way a deciet , even with it starring them right in the face.Nor could they resist temptation. They were offered knowledge....is this a bad thing? No, I think not.
One might even concider the serpent(a real serpent, not a possesed serpent) a hero. He did afterall help spread moral knowledge to humanity , when the creator refused to allow it.
