Who Is to Blame - You or Your Genes? - Conclusion of How It All Started

However, our first parents were not left without guidelines.  Rather, they were warned of the consequences of wrongdoing. (Genesis 2:17)  so the evidence indicates that when Adam was faced with a moral decision, he chose to do what to him seemed expedient or advantageous at the time.  He followed his wife in her wrongdoing instead of considering his relationship with his Creator or the long-term affects of his action. He also tried to shift the blame to Jehovah, saying that the wife He had provided misled him. -  GENESIS 3:6, 12;  1 TIMOTHY 2:14. 

 God's response to the sin of Adam and Eve is revealing. He did not try to correct some design flaw' in their genes. Rather, he carried out what he told them would be the consequence of their actions, which led to their eventual death. (Genesis 3:17-19) This early history sheds much light on the nature of human behavior.
