MAN IS NATURALLY SUPERNATURAL
Unless men were already gods, as Psalms 82:6 quite clearly proclaims, there could be no such failing known as "sin."
"Fall" means to descend from heights.
"Man" being low-born and having been formed from dirt, cannot "fall," being already on the ground to begin with!
No fall, no sin.
Of course, not recognizing and living in accord with our god-like natural state, might be the sin; justifying the plea of Jesus Christ, "Father forgive them, they know not what they do."
Man may be both, god and man, supernatural and natural, naturally supernatural, like life itself.
