The traditional creation story was suitable for explaining the environment before we had science to explain it all. Today, there are some parts of the Bible that you can't seriously ask intelligent people to affirm. Therefore, I recommend taking a more liberal approach to Biblical interpretation, that we may still take lessons from it, and so Christianity may survive the progressing age of knowledge. For example, here is my revision to the story of the original sin:

¹Eve was walking alone in the garden when she saw a snake appear from a bush next to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
²And the snake said to Eve, "Has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'? Has he threatened you with death? I say, nonsense!"
³And Eve said, "Aaaah! It talks! A snake! Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod! Adam, the snake, it talks! There's a talking snake! Ohmygod!"
⁴But Adam could not be found, because he was hiding in the bush puppeteering a dead snake.
⁵And the Lord God placed a curse on Eve for taking his name in vain four times.
⁶And the Lord God also placed a secondary curse on Adam for making her do it.

If this revision is integrated into the Biblical creation account, it should as a whole be much easier for an educated person to believe.
