I'd like to hear how each of you interprets the 'free will' aspect- At what point were 'people' (collectively and future generations) given the choice? I understand as written Adam and Eve were given the choice, but just because they screwed it up why does everyone else in history have to pay for it? Isn't that a bit like punishing the whole class when one person doesn't follow the rules?

Not picking, just curious.

(Though typing this I just had the amusing thought that what if Bruce Campbell, circa 'Army of Darkness', was to play Adam in a movie? Imagine Eve standing there holding a bitten apple with the snake next to her and Bruce as Adam stepping back from her, looking up at God and saying "Whoa... wait a minute! I don't even KNOW these a-holes!!!"
