On and on we go on this discussion about how OS upgrades are like evolution, and so forth. You would think that the reason Christ came was to evolve us, and nothing else--that all was well with the human race, only we were ready for our next great step into the world of greater consciousness and complexity.
Truth be told: Christ came to save us from our sins. The human race was running down, and it's likely we would have destroyed ourselves by now if he hadn't come.
I'm not sure how the Fall ties in with the OS paradigm that Philo is proposing, but it would be a glaring omission if the realities of sin and redemption were not taken into account.
