How did Adam and Eve spawn all of humanity?

Question

If the bible is clearly against relations between brothers and sisters, mothers and sons, and fathers and daughters, how did we all come from just 2 people? And if any of these relations did happen, why are they not allowd by the christian church today?

so you are telling me that it wasnt a sin at the time but it is now? how does the same action that produced all humans become a sin later on in time?

if 2 people are genetically perfect, how do their offspring become imperfect? we know that parents traits are transfered to their kids. you cant even try to deny that one. for people to go from genetically perfect to imperfect, they would have to evolve, wouldnt they? And if that were the case wouldnt we not be the same human race as adam and eve and therefore not the image of god?

Answer 1

not to mention the question of interbreeding and genetics...we would all be seriously mentally disabled because the gene pool was unable to diversify...so, i will have to say, adam and eve didnt spawn all humanity, we evolved over billions of year, just like the earth wasnt created in seven days, the bible is in parables and people cannot take the whole thing literally or you just force yourself into ignorance

Answer 2

A brilliant question, really a brilliant one.

During the time of Adam and Eve there were other rules God made for humanity.
In detail, Eve always gave birth of two twins every time she's pregnant, these two babies were always a boy and a girl.
The rules then required that every man (of Adam's sons) may marry any of his sisters except his twin.

after this, rules changed as there was no need for marriage between brothers and sisters.

And by the way, I'm not Christian, I'm a Muslim and these above words are from my Islamic knowledge.

Answer 3

Adam and Eve were supposed to be genetically perfect. Since this is no longer the case, family relations are banned because of the increased likely hood of having a two headed baby. This is the simple way of explaining it.

Answer 4

The Bible does state that The Cain, a son of Adam and Eve married someone of another tribe. They were the first humans created by the hand of god. But that doesn't meant that all humanity sprung from them.

Answer 5

That commandment came later... in time... if you read genesis... you will not see any rule about marrying family...that rule seemed to come after Noah's flood.

Adam and Eve were in a more idealistic physical environment, and they were genetically protected from things like birth defects...

Answer 6

The answer is that we didn't all come from just 2 people. Adam and Eve were biological uplifters sent to us by God after humanity was already well established.

Answer 7

The Law of Moses didn't exist at that time. It's a matter of chronology. God handed down the Law to control folks when they were starting to get really naughty. He got tired of it and set 'em straight.

Answer 8

They were perfect in every way, sin (degeneration) did not effect them as it was not around. Perfection produced perfection.

Then sin came into the world and all bets were off.

Answer 9

God mentioned that the two should multiply during their lifetime. So in a sense, we all share the same blood, regardless of race.

Answer 10

They have proven scientificly that two people are not enough to create a whole species. Their offspring would just mate with eachother, become more and more deformed, then die.
