Original Sin and the Facts of Palaeoanthropology.

Abstract: The doctrine of original sin is foundational and essential to Western Christianity, although arguably of less importance to Eastern Orthodoxy. This paper shall show that (a) without it the whole of the economy of salvation of both Catholicism and Protestantism is rendered invalid; and (b) it is completely incompatible with what is known of human evolution, even as modified by so-called ‘polygenism’.

The size of the whole picture (Figures 1A, B) is 2048 × 2048 pixel.…”

“…It should not really need pointing out that neither Jews nor Muslims accept the doctrine, which is also rejected by Unitarians, soonce again -McGrath is not doing a great deal for multi-faith dialogue, which does not appear to be a priority for him (see McGrath, 1993, pp.113-114) 4 .
