Taking those facts together, you can posit the scenario that the Serpent in the Garden was not a snake but a threatening dragon and that it was not seducing the couple but threatening them with death if they did not eat the fruit. Adam's sin then was eating the fruit because he did not trust in God to resurrect him after he was killed by the serpent. He did not have enough faith that God would protect him so he ate to save himself.
Jesus on the other hand did have the faith required to die trusting in the Resurrection.
Obvioulsy, it is not a binding Catholic doctrine, but I thought it was an interesting thought exercise. Happy Thanksgiving all.
