But still, why bother with baptism if the Adam & Eve story is fictional? The basic tenet of Christianity is that every human is born with Original Sin due to Adam & Eve's disobeying God, and only accepting Jesus as your savior and being baptized to wash away Original Sin can you reach Heaven. The whole point of needing Christianity falls apart if you say that the Adam & Eve story is fictional, since anyone could get to Heaven just by being a good person to others.
I actually posted a little bit about baptism on a different thread just a few days ago, if you wanna take a look. May help shed some light on the issue:

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
