Why when asking Christian about Lot and his 2 daughters who commit terrible act by getting drank and raping their own father we constantly hear that “and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us.”
Well according to Genesis 19:21-22, 30
I will not overthrow this city for the which thou hast spoken. Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. ... And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him.
May be its time for Christian to come up with more twisted explanation?

The final episode in this chapter is lamentable. Since they lived in the mountains, far from other people, Lot's daughters, seeing that there were no men near, got Lot drunk and slept with him. They both became pregnant by him from this deceit. What we see in this episode is the lingering effects upon Lot's daughters of living in Sodom all those years. The exposure to the sinful lifestyle in Sodom affected Lot's daughters. Lot, having lived with the righteous Abraham for so many years, was less susceptible to corruption than his daughters, who lived in Sodom during their formative years. The wicked environment of Sodom victimized Lot's family, more than he knew. Lot, though deemed righteous by God, was apparently not a strong moral leader (as we have seen), and so, did not protect his family adequately from the influence of Sodom. This is a warning to us. We live in a world that is beginning to embrace the values of Sodom. Wicked influences are rampant: suggestive lyrics in popular song, perverted morals approved on TV, pornographic trash readily available on the Internet, etc. We must be careful to provide strong moral leadership for our families, exposing them only to "whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable" (Phil. 4:8).

actually, there were no man left except their father, so they lay with him, they conceived and the children they bore became the Ammonites and the Moabites. Who fought against the nation of Israel and were defeated.
You must remember that sin had already come into the world, with the fall of Adam and Eve. Therefore original sin has passed onto all generations.

I'm sorry if you thought that all Christians throughout history were perfect or are perfect now. We aren't, nor could we ever be. We are humans like you. We sin everyday too. We are loved by God, like you. We love one another, even you.
The only element that remains is for you to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. then you can ask forgiveness for your sins daily and they will be cleansed away. Really!
Isn't your sin closet hard to close right now?
