Original Sin

Many different things concern us as writers, one of those is original sin, are we actually born to evil or is it something that we learn from life? I find it very hard to accept that a newborn baby is a sinner or carries the mark of the original sin of Adam and Eve. Most people when they look into the eyes of a baby see only innocene and inquisitiveness, not original sin.

Augustine came up with his version of original sin in the fifth century and we are still dealing with the fall out from this today. While scripture might say that we are all sinners it does not hold within it any basis for Augustine's concept of original sin which results in a child being born sinful. Any answers out there?
