The narrative that develops is of a universal condemnation. The entire human race is lost, fallen, damned, waiting and hoping for rescue, for salvation.
Surely this is a perverse vision and a slander upon God. It suggests His plan was derailed before it got off the ground, that He is a brilliant repairman but a poor designer. God's creation of the human race begins in catastrophe and is in need of salvaging.
