On more than one occasion, Satan deceived Adam/Eve but Eve in particular. Is that because women are more trusting so she assumed that Satan was ok? And Satan knew that and knew how to take advantage of it?

    The reason isn’t given in the story, we can’t say what we are not told and be sure it.is the truth of the matter.

    I am assuming that Satan wanted to set up Adam amd Eve into a position where they could place blame on one another… it was clear that Adam did not object to the snake, nor did he object when Eve offered the fruit despite him being with her the whole time and seeing this whole conversation go down. Which tells me that Adam was just as easy to convince. He could have convinced either of them to eat the fruit. But having Eve make the first move put Adam in a position to try and cover up from his own misdeed

    Satan wanted to cause maximum damage by providing a hole to show that humans would take advantage of opportunities to make others seem worse than they are by means of placing the blame elsewhere.

    Ofcourse this is all just a theory of mine

    None of us can answer that. The Bible doesn’t tell us. We only know she ate the fruit and gave it to adam.

    Who knows? Bad place bad timing

    I do not know, but maybe Adam was hiding behind the Tree to see what happened? Doubting God’s Word is a recipe for total disaster.
