I apologise in advance if my thinking is too black and white, but may I ask you, a Christian, whether you believe in a "fall of man", and an original sin? If not, do you still believe that Jesus was sent to remedy this? If not, what was the point of Jesus' sacrifice?

I'm not trying to start an argument here. I'm genuinely curious how evolution-believing Christians reconcile these concepts.
