Who is to blame for Adam and Eve getting kicked out of the Garden of Eden?

I think God is to blame for Adam and Eve getting kicked out of the Garden of Eden because God set them up to eat from the tree of knowledge because he told them not to do something, but that just strengthens the desire to actually do it. Also the reason Adam and Eve got tempted was because of the serpent and since God is all powerful and can do anything he could've gotten rid of the serpent and Adam and Eve would have never been tempted in the first place. Another reason God set them up is because he put the tree of knowledge with Adam and Eve and if God didn't want them to eat from the tree of knowledge he could've just moved the tree away from Adam and Eve so they wouldn't get tempted and get kicked out. Another reason God is to blame is because it says that God gave man every seed bearing plant on the face of the world and every tree that has fruit with seed in it will be food for man, so putting the tree of knowledge on the world would cause man to eat the fruit from it since it is theirs.

Deucalion flood myth vs. Uta-napishti flood myth

The Deucalion legend by the Bibliotheca has many similarities and differences to the flood in The Epic of Gilgamesh. Similarities between the stories are that in both stories the gods wanted to destroy the people by a flood and in the Deucalion legend, Deucalion was told of the what to do to survive the upcoming flood and so was Uta-napishti. Also in the Deucalion legend, Deucalion survived in the flood with his wife and Uta-napishti also survived with his wife. When the flood stopped and the waters calmed, in both stories Deucalion and Uta-napishti were ontop of a mountain. Differences between the stories are that Deucalion was advised to build a chest while Uta-napishti was advised to build a boat and the flood lasted nine days and nine nights in the Deucalion legend, but the flood in The Epic of Gilgamesh lasted six days and six nights. Another difference is that Deucalion wasn't punished by the gods for surviving, but Uta-napishti was punished. I think the stories are similar because we descended from the same people so we have similar stories, but since we moved to different places we had different variations of the flood to fit the likings of the people.

This blog will also show me how I grew during my high school years. All the work I am doing in freshman humanities I am posting on my blog. Even though it might be a little annoying it will still help to keep all my work and not lose it.
