Remember, it was Eve who was first deceived by the serpent, not Adam. He only went along with her.

Nothing happened until Adam ate the fruit. Eve wasn't given dominion over animals etc. Adam was. Everyone blames Eve but it was Adam who changed everything. People need to read that story carefully. Where does it say Adam wasn't standing there when Eve talked to the serpent?

You are sadly mistaken. God gave THEM dominion. Genesis 1:26: 26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let THEM have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28And God blessed THEM, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

You need to read carefully. The plural is used - THEM - thus giving Eve the rights of dominion as well.

The scriptures don’t clarify whether Adam was right there when Eve was deceived. It only states that after she had eaten of the forbidden tree, she then enticed Adam to eat. They were driven out of the garden for their disobedience, but, it was Eve who was first deceived. Adam went along with her and both received punishment for their sin of disobedience. They were both equally responsible, but, it was Eve who the serpent first deceived.

You need to read the story more carefully yourself, because you do err.
