Without the fall, why do we need a saviour?

If the story of original sin and the fall of man comes from the demonstrably unreliable book of Genesis, why should we believe that sin brought death, as biblical theology claims?

If we have no reason to trust the Genesis account of the fall, why should we believe Christian theology that sin entered the world through the one man, Adam, and through him, all sinned and died (Rom 5:12)?

Likewise, why should we then believe that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was necessary to justify believers and restore life (Rom 5:17-19)?
