I'm having trouble with what to me seems like a very simple concept.
In it's simplest possible terms:
Evolution is a Fact, we evolved as a species, not from a single human.
Therefor, Genesis in the Bible, in particular Adam can't be fact.
Without Adam, there is no Original Sin.
Without Original Sin, there is no need for Jesus Sacrifice.
Jesus Death is THE pillar of Christianity.
Christianity is unfounded, and therefor false.
What am I missing? Why is this seeming simple progression not a total refutation of Christianity?
Again.. if this has indeed been covered, I apologize, and ask for a quick link.
the book is not meant to be literal. so any literal interpretation is wrong. "Jesus" is a fine character. "not needed"? nobody is that needed anyway.
