Original Sin and Evolution

[AChimp]

The story of Adam and Eve was constructed thousands of years before humanity had gathered enough scientific knowledge to even grasp the idea of evolution, let alone the start trying to prove it.

The idea that the Sun rotates around the Earth doesn't fit with a lot of things, either, but that's what was written down countless times over the last few thousand years.

IMO, the concept of Original Sin is only meant to be a metaphor for the fact that we are all equally capable of doing bad things.
