Adam and Eve where the first humans and gave birth to the human race, does that mean all humans are some how incestuous ?

Read your Bible from the beginning and review the sixth day of creation. You will find that male and female of first humans were created along with animals of every kind. No covenant was made with humans except to rule over the animals.See the difference, Plants first, Animals next and Humans third,
On the Accounts of Adam and Eve, there were no plants yet, no animals yet even The Vegetations and rivers first, then Adam next followed by animals and then Eve.
Go to Jeremiah 31:27 "The days are coming," declares the Lord," when I will plant the house of Israel and the House of Judah with the offspring of men and animals".
The offspring of men and animals are the gentiles whom God created before Adam and Eve a reason why Cain was worried he will get killed by anyone who will find him wandering around and instead was able to find his wife and have his own family outside Eden.
Incest may have happen in the time of Abraham and Lot when God told Abraham that his descendant will be as plenty the stars in the sky. Thinking that they must only be the Jewish tribe that has to grow so they started marrying within the family although men were allowed to look outside their tribe as long as the woman is willing to embrace their belief and women would marry only within their relatives of immediate or distant cousins. Incest was later disallowed in the time of Moses during their Exodus out of Egypt. Do not believe the teachers who did not understand the Bible so much.

At Genesis 5:3 we read that Adam became father to another son named Seth and then, in the following verse, we read: “He became father to sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:4) So Cain could have married one of his sisters or even one of his nieces. At that early stage of human history, when mankind was so close to perfection, such a marriage evidently did not pose the risks for the children of the union that it would today.
But later, in the Law given through Moses, such marriage unions were specifically forbidden. (Lev. 18:9, 11) They are not permitted among Christians today.

If there really WERE an Adam and Eve, it would be true, But that's just a story.

yes. that would claim that we are all distant cousins in the least. we are not from "other families". so technically, biblically speaking we are still committing incest which in turn in a sin. so any christian married is incestious by definition of bible.
oh and dont forget, not only are we from adam and eve, but noah and his family after the flood had repopulated the earth, so we are even closer descendeants to that single family.
