Do you deny that science disputes that there was a literal Adam and Eve? That the whole concept of it is rife with impossibilities? Is the fall not core theology to you?
The Fall is core to Christianity. Current theories/models postulate that Adam and Eve did not exist (at least not contemporaneously). I think our understanding of genetic history is growing quite fast and I will wait to see how that develops before concluding there is a problem.
