(+) Yeah! (+)

makes no sense

how can a baby fresh out of the womb or even still in the womb have sinned
---

That's not what that means. It means they are born with sin nature, which was brung by influence from their parents and their parent's parent's parent's etc., and they will inevitably sin eventually.

that doesnt explain how a baby can sin or be born a sinner or be born with sin by nature

They aren't born a sinner, but they were born with the sin nature. They'll be influenced by their parents, who were influenced by their parents etc etc etc etc etc, who were influenced by Adam and Eve, the first sinners. There is a reason for the point of accountability. It's why I personally don't believe in infant baptism, baptism is supposed to show that you have made the decision to follow Christ, and until you are mature enough to make that decision, it's out of your hands.

Because they believe an all powerful being is incapable of forgiving something that they believe happened 6000 years ago (Adam and Eve) even after sacrificing his only son, which was actually himself, to himself. Imagine your parents punishing you for something your older brother did years before you were born. Doesn't make much sense does it?
