Well, I don't give too much creadence to the bible on a whole.  For me this is a book that was designed to put the fear of God into people.  That's not exactly the God that I believe in.  Also, as far as the story of Adam and Eve is concern you are missing a vital part.  It was Eve who was tempted by the serpent she was the first one to eat from the tree, not Adam.  She allowed herself to be tempted first, so in a way she was the one to commit the original sin, and then tempted Adam to do the same.  So, with this in mind I think her sin was a bit bigger, and Adam wasn't the most guilty here.
