The science of original sin

• Christian Fundamentalism

The Grand Forks Herald gives us creationism in a nutshell:

"If the Earth is millions of years old, there was death in the world, the death of anything, before Adam and Eve. If the Earth is millions of years old, if evolution is true, death is meaningless and purposeless. It's just natural. If death is natural, then Jesus' death had no meaning or purpose. The Bible says that death came about because of man's existence, that death was a curse of sin, but also the cure for it. So if you get rid of Adam and Eve and original sin, you are pretty much left with Christianity having no meaning."

Author uses science, Bible to support creationism

Original sin has always existed - it's the way of the natural man. The natural man, or the body, is an enemy to god, and it's our duty to use our spirit to control the body, to overcome the urges of the body. Adam and Eve were given two different commandments from God, to not partake of the tree of life, and to multiply and replenish the earth. Because they didn't eat of the tree of life, they were innocent, and therefore couldn't fulfill the other commandment - they didn't know how to produce seed, to have kids. That's why they partook of the tree of life. Original sin was needed so that Christ could come and atone for our sins - he was the only perfect one who could do that. Now we're on earth to get a body, to perfect it through the help of Christ, and to return with God, our Heavenly Father.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about The science of original sin. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
