Wasn't it the common concept among all Abrahamic religions?

Because it exposes a flaw in their beliefs.

When you distort facts, there are some who accept them as truth. Even a half truth is the same as a lie!!
There is no evidence of incest.... the remaining son went to another land to find a wife... the land of Nod if you wish to look it up. There was an existing civilization in another land.. Adam and Eve were the predecessors of the Jewish race.

Considering the gene pool was near perfect in those times, it only makes sense that marriage between family members would take place with God's approval. By the time of Abraham though, the gene pool was so polluted and had so many defects, that God did not want inter-family marriages anymore because of the results as evidenced by mental problems and such that occur. I wonder if that's the case with the God haters, liberal democrats, and the majority of the media, too much inter-family marriages.

I'm not offended
Adam and Eve were not brother and sister in the usual sense.. they were created good and fell.. truthfully insest is a problem today given thousands of years of genetic copying mistakes.. but initially not a problem for two people created good and without the flaws of thousands of years of genetic copy errors setting in yet

Well, technically, Adam and Eve DIDN'T commit incest, it was their children who did.

I don't know why their getting offended.Sounds to me like they need to read just a little bit more instead of stopping halfway.
