Humanity as we know it today is reckoned to be between 200,000 and 300,000 years old. This figure is far from certain but is more likely to be understated than overstated, looking at what evidence there is.
The earth is known to be far older, at maybe four or five billion years, and going through many stages different from its present layout. We are groping in the dark but these figures are reasonable from current knowledge. Current knowledge might well be quite juvenile in terms of time.
Christianity is two thousand years old and claimed originally to be about God saving his sinful race from eternal damnation. Islam is younger. Judaism is a bit older. These three are very closely related.
So what happens to all the humans born before the three religions that have so influenced the world in last two to three thousand years? That would be a time span of about 297,000 years without Christianity, Islam or Judaism.... Think about it!
Divine intervention to "save" the race was cutting it a bit fine?
It is surely time to lay aside the myth of the sinful self and step up to the level of evolving beings who create their own reality.
