When does biblical history begin ?

These days there are many Christians who will support evolution and a very old earth 4.5 billions years old, with a universe that's along the lines of 14 billion years.

Somewhere in this period they throw humanity into the mix some believe Adam and Eve could still have existed, or be created especially during the time that humans were also evolving, others believe that Adam and Eve were just a story of man's fall from grace. Given that most biblical characters can be dated back by linage to Adam and Eve's children that gives us a period of around 6,000~7,000 years since those people existed.  When does what the bible says become real history ?

Where does it place original sin in this context ?
There is no such thing as "original sin' biblically. There is absativally no word in scripture that can possibly be translated as "sin" in any modern sense. That is all post-denominational theologic nonsense(since the 2nd century). Biblically speaking, man had a problem and God dealt with it COMPLETELY: independent of man! Just say thank you!

The Hebrew chattah (OT) and the Greek word hamartia (NT), both translated into English as "sin", and that erroneously transliterated from the Latin 'sinistra' meaning left hand, literally means: the errant flight of an arrow flung from a bow with out any concern for the harm it may cause self, or others. Therefore, no harm, no foul, no matter what you call a "sin"! Sin means: whatever you say it means and to as many whom are dumb enough to listen to you. The Hebrew and Greek word figuratively mean: off course, off target, errant, wrong way, amiss, dead end, etc. Those words never referred to the things that you do but where you are going.

The so called "original sin" of Adam means, both in the Hebrew (anar), and the Greek (parabasis): violation against a set point or standard. Like a seawall designed to hold back the surf. If that point is violated, it will make a huge mess. Adam made a huge mess! God fixed it--DONE! 'Nuff said.

The question is: where do we go from here?
