As I keep mentioning, religious leaders and scholars both comment on it and research it exhaustively.
I'm well aware that there are some Christians who have a view of Atonement that is dependent on a literal Adam and Eve.
What you seem unaware of is that even among orthodox believers, there a variety of atonement views that don't dependent on a literal Adam and Eve. Hell not even the Gospel writers made any connection between them.
I'm rejecting your claim that a literal understanding of Genesis is a necessity of Orthodox Christianity.
