1. I don't think the Bible says anthing saying that Adam and Eve were the first humans. It only spotlights them. For example, when the Bible speaks of Jesus and the disciples, does that mean that there were no people in China, India, or Africa? Of course not. God was only emphasizing.
2. Even if (1) is wrong, the incest before God even stated that rule that incest is wrong. The rule didn't exist yet. I guess that the human DNA was so pure then that there were no consequences until much later. Perhaps when the time came that the consequences would appear if it continued, then God decided that it is a sin and is morally wrong. Then He made the rule. It's not a sin until God says it is. That's what I think.

Since they were the only people on the earth at the time I would think they wouldn't have many laws. And since Adam and Eve were commanded to go forth and multiply and replenish the earth. There's only one way for them to do that and since it wouldn't have done any good if their children didn't do it also, Well, I'm thinking that particular commandment must have come a little later in the scheme of things!

What is funny is alot of people get upset over Adam and Eve and their children multiplying through brothers and sisters through the world but have no problem thinking of monkeys doing the same?

This question is asked at least once daily. Listen, the law had not yet been given, and incest was obviously necessary for Adam and Eve to populate (and for Noah's Family to re-populate), the Earth.

Because God said so.
Just believe... have faith... don't question anything... (that's what they tell you).
What an interesting question... I don't have an answer, but I know that asking the christians won't give you the correct answer. Most believe the earth is only 2000 years old. (IMPOSSIBLE) Best of luck getting an answer. Probably better to go take a Religious Studies class at a Jr. College, though.

Maybe that's because god creates us that his model is himself, he give us ability to multiply like what he did to the animals and etc. so if Adam and eve die, they will left children's that will take their responsibilities such as, protect the earth, the animals, and everything that god created.

God did not say it was wrong until Moses' day.
Ever wonder why people used to live 900 years in the bible, and got shorter and shorter? DNA errors - just a thought, no way to test that

These kind of things happen when people believe in Para-mythology! The thing that amazes me even more, is that after so many centuries of (Progress?), we still refuse to awake in the twenty-first century! How sad and unfortunate for a world to live in such a jungle of naivete or should I say stupidity?

Because Adam and Eve were not the only people on earth.

If homosexuality is immoral, how come the conservative republican and self-proclaimed good Christian Mark Foley f-cough-ed every guy he met? If lying is immoral, how come the conservative republican and self-proclaimed good Christian Dubya has ___________(fill in the blank with any sins you can think of)_______ all his life? The Bible is a test of true faith aimed to tempt those of weak faith - it is really the word of devil, and all true of faith see it for the hellish work it is.
