Fall: The Fall must have been event in time ... ?

• If the Fall did not occur in time then any truth it contains must either be non-historical myth or part of eternity.
• If the Fall is non-historical myth then the Fall plays no causal role in our current state. It exists only as a description of our current state.
• The Fall must play a causal role in our current situation, else Natural Evil and the Original Sin are assigned directly to the will of God in creation. This brings into question the goodness of God. We may resort to some form of instrumentalism.
  
• If the Fall is part of eternity, then the Eden story is symbollic and repressents a real Fall outside of time.
• But, if the Fall was outside of time, then evil is eternal. The nature of reality outside of the universe must then be dualistic. Either Monotheism is called into question or God's absolute goodness.
• A Fall must be in time for guilt to be impugned on humanity.
