Transcription: There is only one doctrine that can be empirically verified, said George Bernard Shaw, the doctrine of original sin. Genesis gives few details about that first sin. Only one thing mattered. God had labeled one tree, just one, off limits. Many people mistakenly assumed sex was involved, but in fact something far more basic was at stake. The real issue was who will set the rules, the humans or God? Adam and Eve decided in favor of themselves, and the world has never been the same.
