“The argument I always get and still can’t come up with an answer (I know it’s there) is since the Bible only mentions Adam and Eve and Cain and Able where did the other people come from. I’ve answered that it’s the story of Cain and Able that was important not the family members of Adam and Eve. Secondly, maybe genetics were different then and intermarrying was not and issue. Then of course there’s Noah which brought up the same questions. But then Noah’s son’s hadn’t intermarried with their sisters. It’s all totally confusing and I wished I could come up with better answers. Yes I researched on the web.”

We are told in Genesis that Adam and Eve had sons AND DAUGHTERS. There was no need for other people. Incest would not have been an issue for quite a while until sin had had time to have major degenerative effects at which point certain close relationships were forbidden.

Thanks - I should have known that. I feel like an idiot. Oh, well, it’s late here and I should have been in bed hours ago.

LOL for so many reasons. Do you people ever stop to actually think about what you're writing?
