Sorry Genesis is an interesting way of explaining creation to an ignorant people and in that it does a good job in doing..
I think it is one of those hypes to keep people in line an living in fear.

Original Sin- either the Summa or Divine Comedy (great notes in the
Sayer's translation) but let me guess. I'd put my money on the
disobedience of Eve and Adam and expulsion from Eden plus its curses
which is not unlike Prometheus and Pandora myths and other creation
myths. The pattern seems a separation from the creator which has to be
repaired through religion/dogma and rituals. But is a baby is born in
the state of sin by the mere fact of it being human? Does science
even promote this via genetics, psychology and other theories? Since
religion has historically been a linch-pin of human society this
theory would ensure a compliant or nervous group to govern either by
tribal leaders, politicians or the military, wouldn't it? What do you
think?
