>Eve initially resists the serpent's prodding

>Adam shows up

Are there any books that explore this line of thought further?

Taken literally or not, the fact that Eve was the only one who offered any resistance to eating the apple seems significant.

Infancy is taking Genesis literally.
Childhood is thinking Genesis is allegory.
Adulthood is knowing it's both.

>When Adam bit the apple he did it because he trusted Eve. Because he loved her. Adam bit into the apple because the woman he loved told him to, no matter what God said. No matter the rules of heaven. What’s heaven to a woman’s love anyway? What’s God to your wife? The first sins of humanity, were trusting others. Eve trusted a snake, Adam trusted Eve, and I trust you. Maybe that’s a sin, just like the first couple. Maybe everyone’s right about us and we’re sinners and we offend God. But like I said, what’s God to a woman’s love anyway? What has heaven got that I can’t find sitting next to you on a cool autumn morning?

Well, >>20014518 is right, but Adam was a man and he should've been wiser. None of that would've happen if he had resisted the temptation. Whatever women do is irrelevant if it's not ultimately enabled by men.
Of course, Adam was the first man, so his naïveté is excusable. The story remains as a good warning.

Mate, he didn't even possess the knowledge of good and evil until his wife fed him the apple. He LITERALLY couldn't have considered the possibility that he was being deceived. It's the same reason Eve ate of it so willingly.

Eve was offered the apple by a weird snake thing, Adam was offered the apple by a hot babe who was formerly his rib. "More thoughtful" here also seems to not be a substantial merit as both the more and less thoughtful people (or at least so labelled by you) eat the apple.

He did have God's command not to eat the fruit, didn't he? Even if you can't comprehend good and evil that should be enough.
