I blame Adam and Eve for being kicked out of the garden. God specifically told them "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." When the serpent told them otherwise, they should have listened to the person who gave them life, God. If they had listened to God and not the serpent, they wouldn't have eaten fruit from the tree and wouldn't have been kicked out of the garden. The issue started with Eve when she listened to the serpent and ate the fruit herself. But the next problem was that when she gave the fruit to Adam, he ate it. As a result of eating the fruit, God realizes and says "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." As a result of this realization, God banishes them from the Garden of Eden. In conclusion I think both Adam and Eve are to fault for being banished from the Garden of Eden.
