The story of the Fall is true, no matter what genetics claim, and reveals that: Humans often choose to cross boundaries that should not be crossed. Humans often partake of what is better left untouched. Humans resist notions of authority, desiring to seize control of our own destinies. Humans are prone to hiding our mistakes even when we know they are obvious to those closest to us. Humans’ dumb choices, destructive habits, and deceptions have consequences—often separating us from the people and places we most love. Humans’ shame is always met with God’s grace.
