Arent we all related?

Question

Here is the thing If We were related to Adam and Eve then that mean were all related as brother and sister but it the Bible doesn't it say that we werent suppose to marry our brothers and sister so how do we know that we came from Adam and Eve...? Then how do you know that we came from Apes cause they had to start somewere right..?

Heres the other thing if we all came from Adam and Eve then that would mean we are all brother and sisters through Adam and EVe , but in the bible doesn't it say that we arent suppose to marry our brothers and sisters ? Then how do you know we came from Adam and Eve? Also how did the Ape thing get involve? We didn't come from apes because They had to start somewhere to right?

Why are you talkin about cousin? I don't think Adam and Eve had a brother and Sister is the thing so we arent cousins? So how did the cousin thing begin tell me that if Adam and Eve never had a cousin?

Please don't tell me about Noha's ark because they would have to be off Adam and Eve to ?

Answer 1

No, that would make us all cousins, and I'm pretty sure that the bible is pretty silent about screwing your cousins.

Answer 2

That is absolutely true we are brothers and sisters whether you are taking the Evolutionists stand point or Creation. It has been stated our DNA can be tracked to 1 mother and 1 father. Again I do not think that helps either argument.

In the beginning the human was created perfect. As time has gone on we are far from perfect we have as many as 2,500 errors in our DNA. This becomes a potentially big problem when you have children with a relative...because you have more of a chance of having similar errors in the DNA and therefore more problems with the child to be! This did not apply in the beginning because Adam & Eve had no error's. We know we came from Adam & Eve because that was the beginning!

The evolution ape/monkey thing is way off base and has been lacking any evidence for this theory since the days it began over 150 years ago.

Answer 3

This is a question that I have heard answered many different ways by Christians. The thing is, the bible doesn't really go into this too much. After Adam and Eve have Cain and Abel, Cain acts up and is banished to the land of Nod to live among the people there. But where did those people come from? The bible doesn't mention another creation event over there. Did God pop all over the Earth creating people, but only Adam and Eve made it into the book?

Putting that aside, if you go under the premise that Adam and Eve were the first people, and the only people God created, then you're right. We're all part of a big incestuous family.

Answer 4

Yes we are all related except to the Black African American. I firmly believe and I am not racist I based this fact upon what is read in the Bible. Cain slew Abel and God sent Cain to the land of Nod where he became a fugitive and a vagabond and there he knew his wife.
God also Blessed Eve with a thiRd seed after that and Adam was a Father again and his name was Seth....so if Cain was in Nod and Eve was pregnant again from Adam then who was Cains generations from his wife because it was not Eve.
A preacher told me that Eve had many children when I ask him the question and I don't buy that. The Bible doesn't say that.
Cain was sent to the land of Nod and he knew his wife....WHO WAS HIS WIFE????? I SAY IT WAS AN APE

Answer 5

Yes, we all did come from the original bloodline of Adam, hence our sin nature. The laws against incest were not enacted until the Levitical laws, basically because of the genetic impurities and mutations that occur from having intercourse with a close relative. In the beginning, the gene pool was pure, which is why Cain was able to marry his sister without problems. The gene pool became more polluted as time went on. And no, we did not come from apes, that is utter nonsense.

Answer 6

Forget the Adam and Eve thing.....we are all related through our DNA and RNA.

If you want to know what I REALLY think: The animals, such as apes, began to have a semi-consciousness. At that point, I believe that intelligent beings from other planets or other dimensions, either mated with these creatures, OR tweaked the cells that cause us to be self-aware. To cover Christian bases, I believe that when the first critters attained that self consciousness, God breathed a soul into them. (Thus we have many of the Bible stories: Ezekiel saw a wheel a rollin', way in the middle of the air" = a spaceship? etc.) If you don't believe me, check out Easter Island, the plains of Nazca, etc.

Answer 7

We're so far off genetically that we're no longer considered literal "brother and sister" in the eyes of God. We came from Adam and Eve because science has proven that we are all direct descendents from two human beings. Apes were just one of the many creatures created before man was.

Answer 8

Genesis records that Adam and Eve had many children, some of whom became the wives of the three sons who are mentioned as helping start the human race. So at that time, yes, brothers were marrying their sisters, because there was literally no one else to choose.

Prohibitions against marrying siblings came much later, once enough imperfections in the human genome had developed and could be amplified by inbreeding to a degree that would result in significant health problems. But early in human history, the human genome was pristine, so no such danger existed, and so no protective rule against incestual marriages was given. As repulsive as the practice is to us, there was simply no reason for it early in the human experience.

The practice of marrying one's sibling was a common cultural practice in the ancient world, and the Bible records this; Abraham is a notable patriarch who took Sarah (his half sister) to be his wife.

X-chromosonal DNA molecular clock studies (X-chromosonal DNA is inherited from our mothers only through egg cells) show a common female ancestor of all women (dubbed "X-chromosonal Eve" by scientists) on the order of 50,000–100,000 years ago.

Y-chromosonal DNA clock studies (DNA passed along the male line only) show a common ancestor for all contemporary men ("Y-Chromosonal Adam") a few thousand years after that.

That X-chromosonal Eve appears to be older than Y-chromosonal Adam and displays a larger original gene pool is consistent with the biblical idea that all modern men have Noah for an ancestor (at the Flood, the male line bottlenecked: Noah and his sons represent only one family line), while all modern women have possibly four different DNA lines at the time of the Flood (Noah's wife was not related, presumably, to the wives of Noah's three sons), and a common female ancestor a few thousand years beyond that, to wit. Eve.

Those dating methods have some built-in inaccuracies that make their results likely to be high, and there's no way to correct for it today. The huge "cultural big bang" that happened about 30,000– 40,000 years ago in East Africa (Near the Middle East) provides a general gauge and is likely to be reconciled with chromosonal studies as time goes by.

These studies point to a sudden appearance of modern man and woman from very small original populations, which apes-to-man theories of human origins have a difficult time explaining.

Answer 9

If we are all decendant of Adam and Eve, then our ancestors have to make out with brother and sisters, sometimes even with parent to create a world with so many people. Does God forbid that kind of sexual relation?

I believe in evolution, the one with the best gene will survive, just like the virus and bacteria.

Answer 10

we are only related in christ when we have accecpted Jesus christ as our saviour. In the beginning God did allow brothers and sister to marry one another because there were not that many people in the world. When the population grew it was then forbidden. I'm sure if we all did some research we would find that we were all related in some way or another but, I do not believe we came from no Apes.

Answer 11

Genesis is just a bunch of stories to teach us lessons. We came from apes and apes came from other animals which all came from some cells.

Even if
Man (the races) was created on the 6th day and
Adam (of the garden) was created on the 8th day.

God did destroy everyone on Earth with the flood except Noah and his family, so we really are all cousins, if you believe in that story. INCEST in the Bible
