Why does Adam get blamed for the original sin and not Eve?
Genesis 3:1 - 24
NIV - 1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'? 2 The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden.

I'm glad you asked. We see in Genesis 3:11-13 (Life Application Bible Notes) when God asked Adam about his sin, Adam blamed Eve. Then Eve blamed the serpent. How easy it is to excuse our sins, by blaming someone else or circumstances. But God knows the truth, and He holds each one of us responsible for what we do (see Genesis 3:14-19). Admit sin, and apologize to God. Don't try to get away with sin by blaming someone else.
