The idea is ridiculous. If you are convinced that Paul meant this, you ought to reject Paul. That is hard to do for a Christian, so you end up stuck with a absurd idea.
Your level of understanding is extremely low.

And Paul was stretching the truth to say sin entered the world only when Adam sinned, ignoring Eve's clear sin.
Adam could have stopped Eve from disobeying God, it was Adam's responsibility to tend the garden.
Eve was deceived but not Adam.
Adam simply surrendered his authority to Satan knowingly breaking the first commandment.

Like today, men do not keep track of their wives 24/7.
Adam surrendered nothing since he was not around to stop his wife sinning. And Eve seemed to wear the pants - not a sin in itself. Thus she was punished with being subject to Adam in future - meaning, Adam would not fall for that again.
My personal belief is that Adam and Eve were "Laodicean" long before they disobeyed. If they truly loved God, they would have confessed their sins like David, and continued their love walk with God outside the garden. Adam and Eve were indifferent to God long before the non-existent fall so God released Satan to nudge them one way or the other.

Paul never said anything more than that it was through Adam that sin entered the world. And with sin came death.
This is no more profound than saying that through the two Steves, Apple entered the world. And with Apple came high prices.
Wrong, it was through Adam's disobedience.
Actually God did not make any promises to Adam for his faith in or obedience to His command.
Adam was subject to vanity, so that ole tree of life held no appeal to his carnal eye.
Matter of fact I bet it looked like some of them bitter herbs he had probably tasted before.

When Adam knew her.:duh:
Ecclesiastes 1:2Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. This was Solomons "Theory of everything".
If all is vanity, and Adam is part of "all" how does Adam's vanity change anything or differ from our vanity?
