A common belief is that if any of us were placed in Adam/Eve's 'shoes' , we would do the same. We would also eat from the tree. Hence we all share the sin.
Rubbish. Adam and Eve got to take the test. We should all get the chance to pass it. Face it, even if Christianity were true, this story only makes sense metaphorically.

I have a question. Suppose that Adam and Eve didn't eat the fruit. But several generations later, one of their descendents did. Then would we have two groups of people, an immortal sinless group, and a sinful, mortal group? And would God have to sacrifice himself for the salvation of the sinful group? Could one of the sinless humans volunteer to do it?
