Genesis is not fact, there for Jesus is not necessary?

[FiveSpotCharlie]

I suppose I should really have asked this on a Christian forum, thought I honestly doubt I'd get an worth while response. That is, a response with the likes of "you just need faith" or "Only when you believe will you know the truth!". I've found most honest and well informed atheists are happy to provide accurate and honest answers to questions no matter what it might be. Thanks guys.

You need "faith".

Faith - strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.

abrahamic religions - faith this shit or you will go to hell.

Please forgive me if this has been covered. I did search, but didn't find anything that seemed to address this directly.

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.

What you're missing is the FACT evolution isn't a fact, you started off on the wrong foot and fell flat on your face.

Yes it is, dummy. Get your head out of your ass.

In re-reading the dark print heading for this post and Charlies' words, my thought-
Evolution is a mirage that has been concocted into existence via the greatest case of wishful thinking imaginable,
each link carefully balanced on the back of one fraud after another.
I have no doubt creation is the offspring of extreme genius. Yeah, Genesis one rocks.

Please do note that, despite the strenuous, declarative statements that the creationists have used in this thread, none of them saw fit to include an argument or evidence to back up those strong words. Their fear at having to engage with the topic of evolution in any substantial sense shines through.

Yes prof...frauds such as biology, genetics, chemistry, anthropology, geology, and physics. Frauds the lot!

It is difficult keeping all the lies straight though. How do they do it without the assistance of a magic man in the sky?

GC and prof, would you please, for fucks sake, educate yourselves! Your nonsensical blathering gets tiresome.

[Godscreated]

FiveSpot, you are totally correct.
One of our guys does address that.

And one view of life is right and one is wrong.
Gentlemen (and Ladies) place your bets... oh, I see you already have?
You may still have opportunity to fold and re-consider.
Closing time is coming.

As for "It's not meant to be take literal", Tell that to the hoards of believers who do! But, thats why I keep trying to grasp how an entire religion can still be founded on such an obvious flaw.

Could be the flaw is with you, of coarse you would never consider this, your arrogance rolls of your tongue.

If it bothers you that much then quit reading.

Only theists would confuse an assertion as fact. Continually saying "nuh uh" doesn't make the assertion true.
