I believe even the Catholic church states that the Adam & Eve story is allegorical, or maybe it was Pope John Paul II, I don't remember. However, they still believe in original sin and baptize babies to get rid of it, and believe that unless you are baptized to remove original sin, you can't get to heaven.
The thing that's totally unfair about original sin is that elsewhere in the bible it says the sins of the father will not be passed on to offspring. So therefore, each person is accountable only for the sins they commit, not what their parents or grandparents committed. Except for original sin, of course, which for some reason we all supposedly get stuck with.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
