After Adam and Eve had children, how did they proceed onto the third generation?

Question

The same applies to the story of Noah's Ark. The children of Noah's family and his wife's family must have slept with members of their parent's family, or each other. Any further generations would again be faced with the same choice.

Answer 1

The Egyptians married their siblings (I even heard that until about 150 years ago, European royalty intermarried in the family)...Abraham is recorded in the 'Good Book' to have married his half sister so I guess their was no problem having children with family members-just absolutely no gay sex!

Answer 2

Since you ask - Eve was taken from Adam's rib - can't get much more similar DNA than that.
Of course brothers married sisters. They lived for 900 or more years - that's alot of kids.

Same with Noah - although Noah's sons married very extremely distant cousins by that time so it was a moot point. If you follow time lines, Adam was still alive when Lamech - Noah's daddy - was born.

Also - incest laws were not implemented until after Moses set them down in stone.

Today - the laws in most places are against brothers and sisters reproducing together. Some places laws state that 1st cousins cannot marry, although it has now been proven that there is no statistical evidence that proves it no more detrimental to human reproduction than less related unions of reproduction.

Answer 3

Believe it or not most countries
around the world will, at times,
marry and procreate within their
own family. Usually however,
unlike Adam and Eve's children,
it's only done by second cousins
on back. There's no proof of birth
defects being any more prevalent
amongst other nations. It's just one
myth the church has crammed down
peoples throats.

That is if you believe the Adam & Eve story.

Answer 4

As for Adam and Eve it does not really say that they were all He made but if they were they probably married brothers and sisters. Incestual deformities do not usually show up unless gene pool is constantly the same like with tribes that continue to intermarry according to this discovery documentary they had on TV about siblings who had kids most had started relationships without the knowledge of their relationship to one another.
With Noah he brought all his son's and their wives and daughters and husbands and then they must have married cousins.

Answer 5

Obviously incense. This was all explained in the Bible before the middle ages where it was banned from the bible because of the graphic details. The section of the bible that included this was THE BOOK OF JUBILLES. (spelling may be a little off_). In the present era, not everything we need to know about life is in the bible. You can say its an edited edition.

Answer 6

Inbreeding causes mutants and retardation... The species would have gone extinct and died off after a few generations. There'd also be a lot of miscarriages. The whole concept of humans being from 2 individuals is faulty.

Answer 7

the Bible does not give a detailed history. doesnt say God made a duck but he did. if every detail of everything was written, you would never be able to read it. Adam and eve were the first, never said he didnt create more.

Answer 8

Thanks For Your Question

Well I must say first that every time has its own rules put by God and the rules back then was simple

Eve gave birth every 9 month to twins male and female God said any male could marry any female but not his twin

I am a Muslim by the way maybe you have a different story in your belief

Answer 9

It would have to be incest. the bible gets a little hazy i'm sure on the details. Not that you should apply any sort of logic or science to what the the bible says.

Answer 10

It is unclear wether there were other people other than Adam and Eve, or if they had children before they sinned. Only creationists really have a problem with this question.
