so (and I'm not being a sarcastic euphoric antitheist here, just genuinely curious) were Adam and Eve two arbitrary early Homo sapiens granted souls and entry into Eden by the benevolence of God, and after being cast out had relations with other early humans ensuring that all descendants (and therefore all modern humans) both had souls and the taint of original sin?
I think that sounds about right. I've seen that interpretation expressed by Catholic scholars who accept evolution but maintain a historical Adam and Eve and Fall.
I think that view works for the most part though I suppose it begs the question of whether or not Adam and Eve's children were engaged in a form of bestiality by mating with humans that didn't have rational souls. Though the traditional view involves incest among their children so I guess you have to pick your poison if one wants to maintain some form of monogenism.
