Adam and Eve, and the basis for Original Sin are in the same book.

If the creation story is not "true", is Adam an Eve not true?

No Adam and Eve, no original sin, no need for Jesus.
There's no necessary contradiction between the Genesis account of the events within the Garden of Eden (understood poetically) and evolution. At some point, there had to be a first man, at which point God could have separated him out, breathed a soul into him, and from him made Eve. Adam's parents could very well (consistent with the Genesis account) have been physiologically identical to himself, but only lacking something that would have made them fully human in God's eyes.
