==Fall of man = Christian?==
==Fall of man = Christian?==
I'm pretty sure almost every culture has some sort of fall from grace myth... [[User:Barikada|Barikada]] 22:14, 31 January 2008 (EST)

== Citations? ==
This article lacks citations, and I don't think that a blanket reference to "God" or "the Bible" is enough. For example, Genesis 3, which describes Eve's actions, the Tree of Knowledge and God's reaction, does not mention Sin. Also, the Young Earth Creationist remarks about genetic dating and mutation surely are not directly Bible-based - I don't think the Bible even mentions the word "mutation". I also don't think that the Bible ever explicitly states that the fall ''caused'' a gradual decline in human lifespans - it definitely doesn't do so in Genesis 5-11, where the patriarchs' lives are listed. Thus, we need better references, both to the specific parts of the Bible used to support the details of the account of the fall of man, and to secondary literature for the interpretation.
