Adam knew full well that if he ate that fruit he would die. That fact that he took the fruit from Eve and did eat, kind of implys that he secretly wanted to be like God even though he had the knowledge otherwise!

Did adam think like this: We can’t be God but if she eats first and doesn’t die I’ll eat an be like God too and if anything goes wrong I’ll just blame Her! An that’s what he did…Blames God first and then the Woman for giving him the fruit! Notice God makes it clear it wasn’t him who did wrong but adam and thaT “WOMAN” Is not just any woman she is your “Wife”! God doesn’t say because you listen to the womans voice…NO…He said Because you listen to your Wife’s voice…
Sin was already at work in Adam as well as Eve! Adam didn’t even want to achknowledge the woman as his wife! They both hide in shame. While Eve tells the truth the serpent tricked me and I did eat, she didn’t want to say it was my fault, the same for adam! No one wanted to take personal blame for there own sin! Sin had it’s effects in the Garden. Thank God for His Mercy!
