“Transmission at generation”: Could original sin have happened at the time when Homo sapiens already had a large population size?
Journal Title: Scientia et Fides - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Models have been proposed assuming that God created the first human persons at the time when Homo sapiens already had a large population size; this hypothesis agrees with emerging data of evolutionary genetics. The present article argues that in such a historical context the propagation of original sin can be explained through “transmission at generation”, in accord with Romans 11:32, and the “Decree concerning original sin of the Council of Trent”.
