As far as the bible is concerned....?

Question

say the story of the garden of eden, why is it, assuming there were only a few people, ok to incest but not ok to fornicate?
in other words, why did any of them, cain, able, etc. have to 'marry'? And why isn't the sin of fornication or immodesty in any commandments? and if specific commandments or deadly sins don't matter, why did God make such a fuss with Moses in the first place?

no no flowerchild,

the bible is specific when it says "do not covet thy neighbor's GOODS"
AND
"thou shall not COVET THY NEIGHBORS WIFE"
says nothing about fornication, only illuding to cheating or being jealous of your fellow neighbor.

....first you have to know what the word COVET means

...also wonders if dewcoons knows that MEN AND WOMEN ALWAYS HAVE DIFFERENT GENES , your argument is illogical because when you procreate, THAT DNA IS THE SAME AND TOO CLOSELY RELATED BECAUSE THEY ARE BROTHERS AND SISTERS. It would not matter if Adam and Eve were different because they are the same model for all of us! 23 chromosomes each to make a whole of 46!!
If your argument were to make sense, you would have to say that God himself created them all differently with different gene pools in order for there to be no "birth defects' bla bla bla.
But since that's not true, that they gave BIRTH to brothers and sisters....the same rule applies as it does today!!!!

Answer 1

According to some "biblical scholars" Adam and Eve had about fifty kids, and these kids had lots and lots of unprotected sex with each other in order to get things a-going. Wacky, huh?

Answer 2

The reason why it is believed that there were only a handful of poeple in the Garden of Eden days is because that is what the Bible says. It says that Adam and Eve were the first two people and that all others descended from them. That is why the woman was named "Eve", it means "the mother of everyone else living".

The incenst question: Genesis teaches that neither Adam of Eve wer born, they were specially made by God. Adam from the dust of the earth, and Eve separated out of Adam's genetic material (often translated as "rib", but a better translation would be "cell). Because of the way Eve was made, she was the total genetic opposite of Adam. Between them they carried no genes in common, but rather had the ability to make every genetic mix possible in the human race. So the children they bore was so genetically diverse that intermarriage between them did not run the risk of birth defects. (A main reason for laws against incest and close relatives marrying). As there was no one else to marry and as they had to marry to continue the human race, God permitted it for a time.
