Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Original Sinners There has been some discussion lately about "The Fall of Man," and English ecclesiastics, appealing to higher authorities than the mere sciences of geology, morphology, biology, zoology, and the history of mankind, have confidently maintained the truth and value of that theological hypothesis. It is very natural. I suppose that every mythology, whether Hebrew, Greek, Roman, German, Celtic, or Norse, has imagined a distant age of innocence and happiness to which those races looked back with a regretful yearning, such as many middle-aged people feel in looking back upon a childhood fondly pictured as innocent and happy. Every one knows how rapidly the past becomes idealised - how rapidly the black shadows of bodily pain, grief, fear, and anxiety fade from the picture that we recall.
