take note of how Adam tries to put the blame on Eve

I did take note of it. I also took note of the fact that Adam didn't grab a piece of fruit on his own, he took what Eve gave him.

Eve may not have said a word, but the act of giving someone something carries an implicit assurance that "it's OK". Adam's job as head, at that point, was to tell her "NO". He didn't do that. And that's (again) the context of the passage in 1 Timothy: deciding who has the authority to teach.

IMO.

YMMV

How he got the fruit really had no bearing on the state of mind he cultivated within himself that resulted in his wantin to eat it. The Bible puts the blame on him in Isaiah, and as Deuteronomy 24:16 and Jeremiah 31:30 say, every man dies for his own sin.
