Image of God, Original Sin, and Evolution

The structure of my proposal:
  1. Pre-covenant humanity:
    ​
    • Conscience present (natural moral awareness).
      ​
    • Sensus divinitatis in development.
      ​
    • No covenantal relation with God yet.
      ​
    • Wrongdoing possible, but not yet covenantal sin.
      ​
  2. Prelapsarian covenant humanity:
    ​
    • Conscience present.
      ​
    • Sensus divinitatis functioning rightly, oriented toward God rather than suppressed.
      ​
    • Humanity stands covenantally obedient in Adam.
      ​
    • Communion with God possible through the covenant head.
      ​
  3. Fallen covenant humanity:
    ​
    • Conscience present but now accuses, rationalizes, or can be suppressed (Rom. 2:15; 1 Tim. 4:2).
      ​
    • Sensus divinitatis remains but is suppressed in unrighteousness (Rom. 1:18-21).
      ​
    • Humanity is now covenantally condemned and hostile toward God (Rom. 8:7).
      ​
    • Humanity now alienated from God.
