Adam was told not to eat of the tree or he would die so he didnt. His woman brought the fruit to him so he ate it. There isnt even a record of a difficult persuasion. Adam didnt have enough of his own morality or allegiance to God to resist the peer pressure. Then when he realized he was naked and heard God coming he irrationally hid himself.
Adam lacked the personal resolve to resist temptation, didnt fully consider the consequences of his actions and irrationally reacted to God's approach. All childlike qualities.
I don’t intend to cast Adam in a negative light because of that though. Adam was created and lived in a world of complete leisure and wasnt challenged to form his own morality and resolve.
Perhaps God wanted Adam to remain simple in live in leisure, but the curiosity of a child without a well developed sense of morality formed by experiencing consequences will surely lead to a fall.
