God created Adam and Eve right?

Adam & Eve had 2 sons Kain & Abel, right?

How can two MEN go forth, copulate and spawn a single ancestor never mind a whole bible full?

Also this must mean we are all related and therefore incest is not only NOT a bad evil thing but actually the NORM!

*2Pacs1#fan - are you aware that the genes of a chimpanze are 99.4% the same as ours!

*Shirl - it is true, there are people born with what appears to female genitalia but have undesended testes instead of ovaries. These people are infertile as they rarely have a working uterus (no ovaries to produce eggs or female hormones) and the testes don't produce sperm due to the fact they do not have enough testosterone in their bodies! So your point was what exactly?

There is nothing to say that the Creator God did NOT create other people, who are not mentioned in the Bible. If theBible was to list all of then then it would fill a library.

Also, you must lo remember that the genes of both Adam and Eve would have been completely pure and free from genetic impurity, and so inbreeding as a term would not be applicable.
The addition of additional genes to this process is often used by creationists to support creation- the evolutionary process according to Darwin is actually flawed in that as the animal gains new characteristics, older information is lost and so the evolutionary process is going the wrong way to work.

Also, Eve had more children than the ones mentioned, so there was a bigger gene pool, and female ones as well.

The Bible doesn't say that they only had two sons, it just didn't talk about the other children because it was not important to tracing the lineage of Christ. As for incest, God didn't make that rule for over 1000 years later, when after many generations had passed, and genetic abnormalities had crept into the genetic codes. At the time of creation, the genes were pretty much perfect, with people living hundreds of years. Even Adam and Eve were brother and sister, in that she was created from his genetic material. You can clone a man, but remove the X gene, and you get a woman.

Incest is now evil because it can cause evil things to happen to the children, in the way of genetic defects.

As for evolution, it is also connected, in that everyone and every animal, evolved from what came through the flood.

Biblically, incest is the only possible way Adam's sons could have procreated, so you are correct about that. Christians all understand this; it is not something new or surprising.

Where you are ignorant is assuming that just because an activity is documented in the Bible that it is a good thing or the "norm". Many cases of incest are documented Biblically, and God did not command people until long after Adam and Eve that they need to stop doing that.

It is obvious to anyone who reads your "question" that you are not really interested in what God has to say, but are more interested in bashing followers of God in your own silly little way. But as you just saw, it didn't work. Incest was necessary initially to further the human race, and after the human race had been established, God commanded us to stop the practice of incest. So get your dork out of your mom and use some common sense.

In the mythology of Genesis, Adam & Eve lived to be 900 years old and had many children. Cain must have married on of his sisters - I know what you're thinking, incest, but in those times the genepool had no weakened to the state it is in now and incestual relationships were commonplace and not unhealthy.

I think you're confused anyway, Cain killed Abel, he didn't copulate with him.

I'd like to point out that I said Mythology. I don't believe that the Bible has any more truth than Greek or Egyptian mythology. This is just Israel's mythology.

You're not too bright are you?
Judging by your spelling of Cain, it is obvious you haven't read Genesis, but just listened to someone (who probably wasn't a Christian) tell the story.
It says that Adam and Eve were told to multiply. It is logical to assume that they had daughters as well. If the bible talked about every person that ever lived, it would be 10 million pages long. Cain and Abel were mentioned because of their situation. It says that Cain went on to marry and had sons and daughters. And I'll answer your other stupid question. If they couldn't marry sisters, who else were they supposed to marry?

In the first generation, this was not a problem.

So, how can evolution explain it? You have one organism evolve. Who will it mate with? You would have to have the mathmatical impossibility of multiple humans evolve from something else, in the SAME PROXIMITY so they could mate. Do you realize the absurdity of that?

And your comment about chimps being 99.4% similar to humans is a false representation of the truth. They are known to be that similar to the present known DNA structure, but we only know about 1% of the DNA molecule. It is far too complex to study with our present technology.
And you need to study nucleotides. That .6% difference is equivalent to reaching Mars on foot when you factor in neucleotides. In otherwords, it is enough to know that there is no connection between humans and chimps.

Why can't the similarities be evidence for a common designer? Since God saw that many design features worked well, He used it in multiple living things. It only makes sense to stick with a design that works. Does Microsoft completely rewrite an entire program for every new product they invent? No, power point, word, works, excel, all share common design features.

And if all living organisims weren't made of the same amino acids, then we could only eat each other. So, it's a good thing that God knew what He was doing. If you were in charge, we wouldn't last 2 seconds.

I believe that God did create Adam and Eve, I also believe that animals and plants, ect evolved. Science and faith don't contradict one another. Also, Eve had other children aside from Cain and Abel, time had passed between being banned from Eden and the Cain and Abel sibling rivalry. The Bible doesn't tell everything that happened in the world because God assumes we're intelligent enough to figure out there were other people in the world by that time.

Adam and Eve had many other children. If you had read Genesis, you would know this. These children, male and female, married each other to populate the earth. Don't be too concerned about that. Everyone today is a descendant of Noah, his 3 sons and their 4 respective wives.

No it is not the Norm. The bible does not spell out all the births of everyone. If the bible read like you expect it to then it would be like this: It was the third day, on planet earth at longitude x, latitude y at 73 degrees fahrenheit, with a gentle breeze of 5 miles per hour, etc. Then go to explain the fauna, rocks, and all animals of the world in detail, the book would fill a library.

It's been tried dude. Their Bible says Adam & Eve had other sons and daughters. They also assert that since Adam and Eve were so close to creation, that their genetics were "stronger" somehow and therefore inbreeding was okay.

Sounds like the Garden of Eden is Arkansas...

Does anyone else find it ironic that it was the atheists who answered first to warn the questioner about the bull$#!+ the Christians are about to come up with (created other humans, genetics being stronger, etc...)?

I swear this is the last time I submit an answer to such an ill concieved question!!
READ THE GENESIS ACCOUNT! Adam and Eve produced sons AND DAUGHTERS {Gen 5:4}. As perverse as it may sound, sisters and nieces must have been involved in procreation. So early on in human history however {ie. so close to human perfection}, such unions wouldn't pose the health risks that they would today.
