One reading of the Doctrine of Original Sin has it that we are guilty of a sin committed by Adam, thousands of years ago.

| Zusammenfassung: | One reading of the Doctrine of Original Sin has it that we are guilty of a sin committed by Adam, thousands of years ago. Fission theorists account for this by saying that Adam fissioned after he sinned and that each of us is one of his ‘fission successors’.

I then introduce a new version of fission theory that avoids the Rea-Hudson objection. |
