Well if the story of Adam and Eve, mankind, being decieved by the devil, as the story goes to believe that by
'taking of the tree of knowledge they would be like God to know the difference between good and evil'...what newly discovered deception may prove that the original sin is still with us....by the way, Muslims, Jews and Christians all believe in this same story...

Adam and Eve sinned just as each of us sins each day in our lives (when we choose to disobey God).

Adam & Eve's Original Sin is really Representative sin (their sin is representative of our sins)...

Cordially,
John

The Christian concept of original sin refers to the traditional Christian idea that when Adam sinned, he acquired a “stain” on his soul which has been transferred to all of his descendants. Because of this, all people are born sinful and are incapable of achieving salvation on their own. Instead, they must rely upon God’s grace and the redemption provided by Jesus’ death and resurrection.

The doctrine of original sin was introduced into Christian theology right at the beginning by Paul, who taught that all men had sinned in Adam. Augustine was the first to fully develop the doctrine and argue that it was transmitted from parents to children through the act of sexual intercourse because of the sin of lust which always accompanies sex. Because of Augustine, the doctrine of original sin was adopted by the Catholic church.
