Coyne: The return of Adam and Eve as real people

Since there is no explanation given for how this original sin is transmitted, or in what form, or even any evidence that it exists, how is that not a problem?

I mean you can of course just imagine a mechanism and not bother with this pesky evidence thing, but then why bother doing science in the first place? Why even bother with a GAE story that is supposedly compatible with scientific evidence if you can just say evidence isn’t necessary?
