I have a problem with #2 though.

The whole idea of punishing every individual throughout humanity based on the actions of of a few individuals is morally corrupt. Not a single person here would agree that a child should go to jail if their parent commits a crime. Or that a race of people should be condemned because of the actions of a few (a black person stole my car therefore all black people are thieves). That every innocent should be condemned to infinite punishment for a finite (and arguably innocent, if people didn't know good from evil, how can they be held responsible in the first place) sin does not come across as moral or just.

EDIT: Oh, and regarding common ancestry of all life on earth, that's one of those things that in another 100 years will be viewed in exactly the same way that people who use the Bible to try and support a flat earth or support slavery are today. Already more Christians than not accept evolution, it will filter down to the evangelicals and such eventually.
