Yes, maybe you're right. Maybe the looked Godly then, and now we dont. :( We really can't tell since I don't think they have any remaining dead bodies or whatnot from that long ago.

Ask any biologist. Each generation has more genetic abnormalities than the one before it. In Noah's day people had very little to no genetic imperfections so inbreeding did not cause the defects we see today. Also, Noah had three sons with him and their wives. So they had three separate lines, not just one. The worst inbreeding would have been among first cousins, not brothers and sisters and such.
People think the human race is evolving but genetically speaking we are devolving. It's the biological application of the law of entropy.

Well, the story of the Flood is a metaphor, invented by people to explain the three races of man.

That assumes facts not in evidence.
Noah's flood is part of Christian mythology as a fertility myth (and a strange one, at that). That has no real basis in science.

Having sex with your cousin doesn't cause defects. It can cause blood problems (like some royalty), but not abnormal looking people. It is a myth to stop people from having sex with their kin because it is taboo.

Yes, genetic anomalies are not inheritable until they come into existence.

If you believe in science, the bible is wrong in to many ways to count.
