What do you think is the meaning of the story of ‘The Fall’ of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden? 🙂
 
Every human being born has the stain of Original Sin. Because of that stain of the Original Sin every human has the tendency to want to be “like God” on their own merits, not by the grace of God who created us to be in His image.

Basically and simply put, all sin is based in this Pride. Which is why humility is SUCH a virtue.
 
For Catholics, there is only one answer.

For the faithful cannot embrace that opinion which maintains either that after Adam there existed on this earth true men who did not take their origin through natural generation from him as from the first parent of all or that Adam represents a certain number of first parents. Now it is in no way apparent how such an opinion can be reconciled with that which the sources of revealed truth and the documents of the Teaching Authority of the Church propose with regard to original sin, which proceeds from a sin actually committed by an individual Adam and which through generation is passed on to all and is in everyone as his own."

Humani Generis.
 
What? A serious poll question? Who are you and what have you done to WhiteDove??? 😉
