Honestly?

I dunno, it's a Roman Catholic thing - it's not something I personally believe and it's relatively recent (like 600 years) as an idea. I believe it stems from the belief that in order to carry God, Mary would have had to have been a pure vessel, but that begs the question of her own mother - which implies the problem of infinite regression.

This isn't a problem in earlier medieval theology because Original Sin is inherited via the father, not the mother. That has some interesting implications for what the Original Sin actually was.

Personally, I believe it was not the eating of the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge but trying to hide afterwards, when Adam and Eve tried to deceive God despite​ knowing it was wrong.
