A literal interpretation of ‘the fall’ doesn’t really matter. The belief that we are separated from our Creator because of sin (as Jesus Himself taught) is what really matters. A literal interpretation of the life and death, and *especially* of the resurrection of Jesus does matter though...big time...because that, *the resurrection*, is the very foundation of the faith. That is what makes possible our once again having a personal relationship with our Creator.


So, if there was no literal resurrection, does your entire religion crumble?
