But then why can't "by one man" mean one member of humanity - Eve?

You can exercise your freedom and believe that all you wish but you have to rebel against the word of God that was in the hands of the forefathers of the church in Rome to do:

"12Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned ... 14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 15But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many." [Romans 5:12-15]

So why doesn’t that passage mean women are immortal, since it says death only affects men?
