The answer I have usually heard from Biblical literalists is that they married their sisters (Adam and Eve also had daughters, according to Genesis 5:4).

Completely disgusting. I wish I did not know this. What a tragedy. I thought people had morals in the Bible. I went to 13 years of Catholic School and NEVER heard of this depravity. Are you sure?????

There was no one else to marry, if you think about it. But you have to take into account the newness of the creation at that point. The genetic line was very pure. The prohibition against incest wasn't handed down until Leviticus, when inbreeding became a problem.

"People in the Bible" were as human as the rest of us, and all sinners. Look at David.

Homosexual sex is far worse AND it is the topic. Care to comment?
