Question

& incest is a sin

i believe in the theory of evolution cuz its actually logical and it makes sense. i am also not christian or jewish or mslim,but i have read the bible for eduational reasons

Answer 1

Whether you believe in Christianity or not, we are all distantly related. Although Christians have said it for thousands of years, scientists are now saying it. All people have mitochondrial DNA. But only women pass on the mitochondrial DNA to their children. (i.e. All men have their mother's mitochondrial DNA, but don't pass it on to their children. And all women have mitochondrial DNA and only they pass it on to their offspring) Scientists have traced the entire population back to one woman. They call her the "ancestrial Eve." Look it up if you don't believe me, it would be taught in any genetics class, and should be taught in biology as well.

Answer 2

Assuming that the bible included all information; yes. However the bible is a collection of documents compiled around 300-400AD and many documents were left out and different versions of documents were used.

The general consensus is that after the first two humans, others were created outside of Eden. Once expelled from Eden Adam's family would eventually meet the others.

Answer 3

Yes we would. But incest is a word coined by humans to mean sexual activity between closely knit members of one family unit. Outside of this close family unit, it is considered acceptable by the society will live in,and therefore not known as incest. There are still people practicing so called incest in modern day societies which are more remote from organised societies.

Answer 4

If you actually read Genesis, it is obvious that Adam And Eve were not the only humans made

Cain took a wife, but Adam and Eve had no other children that were mentioned.

On the other hand, after the flood, only Moses, his wife and three sons are left, so yes we are all brothers

Answer 5

Yes, but apparently it's "excused" by Christians. I don't get that. Incest was fine with Adam & Eve and Noah's Family (because they had to repopulate the earth after the flood) and it was fine with Lot and his daughters.

And it's fine that people offered to kill their children for god. And it was fine for Lot to offer the Sodom & Gomorrah mob his daughters for rape or whatever they pleased.

And it was fine to have more than one wife. And it was fine to have slaves...

Point being.... don't worry so much about a book of fairy tales, just believe in yourself. I'm not saying God doesn't exist but I think God would prefer you use common sense than to worry so much about a book written by men, not God. And not to mention a book that has borrowed from older religions and butchered by church leaders (for example, reincarnation used to be in the bible.. where do you think the phrase "born again" really came from?)

Answer 6

Hey! I was just talkin about that the other day. Let's see. Adam and Eve had two kids. Cain and Able, right? With whom did they procreate? I don't get it. Don't you think Joseph and Mary had more kids? This stuff fascinates me. I believe in God but I get confused.

Answer 7

You mean the Most Ancient Church. It was actually a collective instead of individuals represented by a married couple.

Answer 8

Dear member,

That's why evolution in science makes more sense rather than the Bible written by MAN.

kind regards,
Ben

Answer 9

ROFLMAO

Yes we would, and that is why many fools say we are born of sin. BS!

There was a 6th day creation and there was an 8th day creation!
So we were not born of incest!

Answer 10

We are distantly related, but incest only includes members of your immediate family (and you know that! )
