For Christians who believe in evolution, I'm slightly curious. Do all humans possess that original sin that Christ sacrifices himself to repent on her behalf? Where did we get it if not from the apple?

Consider that the ancient Jews saw Eden as our place of elevation and not a place of our fall.

Christianity reversed the original moral of that myth for their own ends, which appear to be to vilify both women and the many serpent cults that were around at the time.

Please Google --- The Original Meaning Of Original Sin

"Judaism preaches the Rise of man: and instead of Original Sin, it stresses Original Virtue, the beneficent hereditary influence of righteous ancestors upon their descendants’.

There is nothing quite like the sweet smell of burning human fat and flesh.

God gets off on it.
