The need to blame someone or something else is hard-wired in human nature. In the Genesis story, after the eating of the apple, Adam blames Eve and Eve blames the Snake. Note that whether or not one is a believer, many such ancient stories are morality lessons, sometimes of excellent quality, illustrating universal truths.

they bit the apple and still can’t introspect. they gained knowledge, no wisdom.
