What is the vortex of the human problem according to Scripture?

Scripture identifies the vortex of the human problem as the fall of Adam. In Genesis 3, Eve partook and then Adam, and this event is the point all Scripture looks back to. Adam's rebellion brought the curse, subjecting creation to vanity and affecting everything—inanimate, animate, birds, and fish.

Les teaches that the event in Genesis 3 is the vortex of the human problem: Eve partook, then Adam, and all Scripture points back to the fall of Adam. The moment Adam sinned, the curse fell, and everything came under it—inanimate, animate, the birds, the fish, everything. Creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who subjected the same in hope. The curse causes great desert areas such as the Sahara, and the planet's condition is the result of Adam's rebellion. But as soon as the curse fell, God came back with a remedy and promised in Genesis 3:15.
