Man and woman both eat the forbidden fruit, and neither die. The serpent was right. Thus, God banishes Adam and Eve from the garden as punishment for defying his command, and places angels bearing flaming swords at Eden's gates to ensure that neither man nor woman could ever return.

WHO DID ADAM BLAME FOR TAKING A BITE OF FORBIDDEN FRUIT? Most people answer, “Eve made him do it.” That however is the wrong answer. Adam goes straight to the Big Guy in the Garden of Eden: “The woman YOU gave me God made me eat the forbidden fruit!” Adam blames God.

In the 17th Century, John Milton rewrites the story of creation in epic form to flesh out the characters and actions leading to the Fall. In both the Bible and in Paradise Lost, Eve is to blame from humankind's exile for the Garden of Eden and for giving into Satan's temptation.
These stories were widely believed in Europe until early modern times. Regarding the real existence of the progenitors – as of other narratives contained in Genesis – the Catholic Church teaches that Adam and Eve were historical humans, personally responsible for the original sin.
