I think that God is responsible for the removal of Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden. He first presented the opportunity to them that the tree was there in the first place. If he hadn't said anything to begin with, the both of them would not know what to think of that tree. They may have still eaten the fruit however, God wouldn't have had a reason to blame them, because they wouldn't have known. It is normal for any human to have an instinct to try something especially if they are denied access to it. For example, in the text God quotes "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die." I think that God was too harsh with his punishment considering he was the one who forbid Adam and Eve to eat from the tree. Therefore, I blame God in this situation.
