...Moreover, the historicity of biblical protology is the foundation upon which the Bible’s eschatology is built, for creation will be restored to its original historical state (cf. Matt. 19:28; Acts 3:21; Rom. 8:21). Sin and death entered creation at a historical point in the past through Adam (cf. Rom. 5:12–19; 1 Cor. 15:21–22), and they will be judged and eradicated at a historical point in the future through Jesus Christ (Acts 17:31; 2 Cor. 5:1–10). To undermine the historicity of Genesis is to subvert the very heart of the biblical message. -John Harrigan "The Gospel of Christ Crucified"
