The original sin of Adam which mankind is supposed to have inherited was a fabrication of Paul. It is explicitly refuted in the Bible in many places.

The Origin of Christianity in the Essenes

AskWhy! Publications

Abstract

This website is the most complete and coherent account of the emergence, origin and history of Judaism in the fifth century (9 MB) and then Christianity from its precursor, the Jewish apocalyptic sect called the Essenes, and its subsequent odious history (18 MB). Here you will find the best historical truth. If you want “THE TRUTH”, you had better go to church or watch God TV.
Does science make belief in God obsolete?

Definitely yes
Possibly yes
Not sure
Possibly not
Definitely not

Before you go, think about this…

An English capitalist will cheerfully invest his money in Timbuctoo or China, or Russia, or anywhere that he thinks he can secure a profit, even though it may be in the territory of his mortal enemy. He does not invest his money in order to give employment to his workers, but to make a profit.
James Connolly
