Who's fault is it that humans got kicked out of the Garden of Eden?

Who's fault is it that humans got kicked out of the Garden of Eden? 

It is God's fault that humans were removed from the Garden of Eden because he was the one who put the tree there in the first place and Adam and Eve were both tempted to eat from the tree. He tempted them with the tree for no reason, and when they fell for the trap, they were punished. Eve's punishment was that she would have a difficult time during her pregnancy, and Adam's punishment was that he would eat painful toil all the days of his life. Also, the toil would produce thorns and thistles, and he would eat the plants of the fields. The Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground for, which he had been taken. If God never put that tree there, they wouldn't have to be kicked out of the Garden of Eden. God set them up to fail. They fell into God's trap, and had to face the consequences that they put themselves in. Some people might say that it was Eve's fault that they got kicked out of the Garden of Eden, but we can't blame her for wanting what we can't have. They did it for their own survival. According to section 3 paragraph 24, after God drove Adam out of the Garden of Eden, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden a cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life. This shows that he did not want anyone else making the same mistake that Adam and Eve both, also showing that he doesn't enjoy punishing people.
