I do not belive Adam had an evil side....to say this is to say Jesus had an evil side...

1st Adam was made with no sin or sin nature but had the ability to be tempted, sin and fall...

2nd Adam (Jesus) came to be flesh with no sin, the ability to be tempted, sin and fall, but did no sin, did not fail and or fall......hence his ability to become sin for us that HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS may be applied by faith.

This thought indicates a bigger picture that alludes many........!
Respectfully, the word to use here is "eludes". :)

A metaphor alludes (implies or makes reference to) to a reality; a deer eludes (escapes) the wolves and survives another day.

Similarly, a metaphor is an allusion to a reality, while a trickster uses an illusion to deceive his audience.
