In the myth, Adam was perhaps millions of years old before he was put to sleep and Eve was brought to him.

Genesis 2

18 And the LORD God said,*It is*not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an helpmeet for him.

19*And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought*them*unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that*was*the name thereof.

20*And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

21*And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22*And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Adam would have gotten to know and love all those creatures, much more than any human, (that ever loved a pet) since. He would have gotten to know, what he named, even more deeply than Sir David Attenborough allows us to get to know the amimals around today.

I think that Adam, not being deceived, was more culpable than Eve.

Why then did God favor the guiltiest, Adam, with, --- he shall rule over you?

Men rule over women? Why when men were not deceived but disobeyed?

What was the transgression, --- if not a wise decision to choose knowledge and wisdom and shun immortality of the flesh, --- even if that were possible, --- and why was Adan not punished as hard as Eve when he was clearly more guilty?
