Evolution and genetics are completely incompatible with a literal interpretation of the bible.
No Adam and Eve...
So, the more scientifically-minded believer is forced to invent other "explanations" for critical concepts such as original sin. If there was no literal Adam and Eve, and our ape ancestors slowly evolved into modern humans, over a long period of time, with tens of thousands of individuals, at what point exactly did one of these proto-human thingy's eat the Apple and get all frisky with nekkid Eve?
God was looking down one day and said "hey!, what the hell!? HEY! STOP THAT YOU SINNING proto-human sexy ape chick! Put down the Fruit! I'm going fix your wagon girlie! And your boyfriend's wagon too! Hence force ye shall be dirty, foul SINNERS! And the T-Rex WILL NOT be a vegan any longer!" And so it was, but we have no idea when, how or to who. Or even why for that matter.
I've never heard an explanation that makes one whit of sense.
