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.
There is a problem. For Adam and Eve the way you'd like them to have existed, you need to assume that our genes have been magically altered to hide that fact. If you do that, reason is out of the window.
