"Evolution does not require that we rethink traditional ideas bout righteousness, sin, and salvation. The basic Christian claim is that a savior is needed because all men are sinners. It is that simple: "Since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" (Romans 3:23-24). Why all people are sinners is an important question which we need to investigate .... but an answer is not required in order to recognize the need for salvation. .... It is the fact that all human beings are sinners, rather than a theory about how that condition arose, that requires a savior."
