Noah from the Bible

The earth had to repopulate somehow... if the only humans left were blood relatives and their wives, they were the only ones who could procreate. That STILL leads to incest and inbreeding (if not among them, definitely among their offspring...)

On the ark with the sons of Noah were their wives and there may have been some marrying of cousins but at that point the people who married were in a purer state (lack of disease, etc.) so the distorted children and deformed children would not have been a issue.

It's an alegory, not to be taken literally from the bible. The bible is not a history lesson when it tells these stories, it's more like Aesops fables. So no, we are not all Noah's descendents and no they did not f u c k each other.

Well considering that the 8 survivors of the flood were said to be: Noah and his wife, and his 3 sons and their wives......
and children were born after the flood....
then some of them did but husbands and wives are allowed to.

So even if Noah's kids had wives, the next generation had to be nothing but first cousins marrying. That's still pretty gross, man.

Stop..
Noah's flood was actually of a river and not the world. Don't take the Bible that literally! That is a sick question.

Actually, I think Noah's sons brought their wives with them....though there ARE some rumors about one of his kids doing something freaky with Noah after the flood, while he was drunk and passed out (which is the REAL reason why he was so pissed about them seeing him naked)....

Shem, Japhet, and Ham didn't marry their sisters. Probably very distant relatives (such as a second generation cousin like one of the Roosevelts did). What i'm saying is that they had to marry a descendant from Seth.

Noah's family consisted of himself, his wife, his three sons and their wives. So the answer to your question is no.

Yes they did. What's wrong with that? Is it a sin? The definition of SIN is anything you do that is a transgression in the commandments of God. If you break God's rules. God gave commandments to the Early people directly, no Bible yet in those days. So if God commanded them to procreate will it be a sin? Today it is.
