The snake(Satan) told Eve that if she ate the fruit from the tree that she would become as powerful as God, or maybe more powerful as Him. Us humans are all power hungry so of course Eve took a bite. She then told Adam to take a bite, thus they all sinned.
AddendumThe question that has not been answered is why Adam and Eve listened to Satan in the first place. Snakes of today actually have vestigal legs inside them. Unlike snakes of today, Satan was a beautiful shining and irridescant creature walking on 2 legs. (Anyway, would you trust a talking snake?)

According to the text of Genesis, Adam and Eve did not exist before the garden.
In the Garden of Eden, Adam had one wife named Eve.
God came in to the grarden and saw that adam and eve had no clothing and knew that both Adam and eve ate the posin from the apple, that's what created sin.
