What Genesis 16:12 says of Ishmael and his descendants.

New International Version

He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”

God of Abraham is always correct!

It's interesting that after Darwin wrote "marriage between near relations is likewise in some way injurious," he took so much heat from the Church, he took it out of later editions!

The Church of England still permits first-cousin marriage; the Roman Catholic Church also will allow it.
