There's a minor problem with this hypothesis... There is no evidence of even the existence of Moses, nor an exodus from Egypt, outside of the Torah. Even official Israeli archaeologists have stated as much. No encampment artifacts anywhere in Sinai, no mention of Israeli slaves anywhere in Egyptian records, much less of a mass exodus, and no mention by any other historian of the time. Ergo no explanation is required for something that never happened.
"..original sin, the stubborn blemish that has condemned humanity to a progressive decline from the Garden of Eden..."
You see then, if the RCC really accepts evolution, they should fold up their frocks and go out of business. Because...
If evolution is true, then the creation myths of Genesis are not. No six day creation, no Garden, no Adam & Eve = NO ORIGINAL SIN!
No original sin, no need for the sky-god's little boy to be grotesquely sacrificed to save us from it, and voila...no more need for the RCC or any of its considerably diverse and divergent offspring.
