So, Jim B, what do you believe in, then? Creation or evolution?
On the one hand you're talking about Adam and Eve as if they were real, yet on the other hand you're talking about genetic mutation from generation to generation.

Hate to tell you this, but they aren't the only ones who believe that. It makes sense though. If Adam and Eve were the only people on earth, then their children had to marry and have children for the human race to survive. Also, God would have made the two of them perfect. No genetic defects. Therefore, their children having children would have produced no genetic defects. It is only through the course of time that such problems occurred.

We believe that Adam was the only man that lived at the time and Eve's children were the only others to marry. Because they were so close to the creation just one generation away. Their DNA was pure. No mutation or weakness had wormed their way in yet. The Law hadn't been given at the time that came thru Moses many generation removed from these events.. Jim.

The memories of Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel have been probably initially different and unrelated myths that the Genesis author has tried to make right into a linked narrative. The problems and issues that we would now spot interior the narrative lies of their separate origins, and would have the two not been perceived by people who advised and heard those memories, or they won't have been seen important, or as important because of the fact the tries at factors approximately why issues are the way they're interior the myths worried. The Adam and Eve tale became a delusion that attempted to describe how death, toil and different woes got here into the international; and prefer the Greek Pandora delusion, a girl is blamed (and by extension, in a patriarchal society, all women). The Cain and Abel tale starts off with God who prefer Abel's sacrifice of farm animals over Cain's sacrifice of vegetation, and could be a legendary attempt at recording the stresses and turmoils in contact in changing from a nomadic life based on farm animals to the settled life of farming that finally led to civilisation. The land of Nod looks a manner of asserting that Cain wandered, and the reality that there have been different human beings that he could come across is a pointer that this tale initially progressed one by one from the Adam and Eve one. Cain names the city he founds after his son Enoch. The extensive genealogies instruct the two a actual attempt at attempting to merge the countless myths and traditions accompanied and tailored from countless peoples and cultures, or it extremely is an attempt to offer a synthetic authority to the memories, or a mix of the two.

They had to. Lol.
Besides, incest was only declared wrong by Moses way after. (Like 1500 years) when there were enough people to assume that people weren't related. Though, we all are anyway.
Oh yeah... The bible doesn't call them sisters and brothers for a while, merely, sons and daughters.

Even if we accept the Genesis story who says Adam & Eve were the only people created by God? That's a, unsupportable, non-biblical assumption.

They did have sex with each other as there were no other people on earth according to the bible. That was the only way to populate the earth.
