seriously, they would've had to. And gotten it on with any sons/daughters too.
Christians will mumble something about original sin and that their DNA was perfect before the fall or something.

So what if they did? But notice Genesis 5:4 were Adam and Eve, "had other sons and daughters". The Genesis account makes no attempt to say Cain, Able and Seth were the "only" children, they may have just been one of three hundred kids, who knows.
But about the incest thing.... Well first you have to consider, God never gave them a law against incest. If they were the only humans, they could only reproduce with each other. God knew that so he would not condemn them for something they had no choice concerning.

don't think in the Bible. The Bible is a human product. most of the 1st extreme clergymen and rulers of the old catholic church choose for which books could bypass into the bible after their own appealing. some books have been burned and destroyed. learn somewhat with reference to the Nag Hammadi or ineffective Sea Scrolls. those could've been blanketed in the bible, however the church rejected them because of the fact human beings would locate out the reality and the church would loose all their money. This became into as an factor be conscious. Adam and Eve weren't brother and sister, tehnically speaking. So, you are able to not say for particular they commited incest. additionally, after Cain slew Abel, Eve gave start to their third son, Seth. After him that they had greater babies, that is only that they weren't pronounced in the Bible. Now, this babies had incest, because of the fact they have been truthfully brothers. i do no longer think of that this matting subject made human beings evil. Evil got here from someplace else. Edit: Silver Thunderbird, I congratulate you. i could no longer determine if I could point out some thing approximately her or no longer. Blessed be )O(

Adam and Eve are not the first human beings. They are only figures of a parable.
The yes or no to questions like this only cause more confusion. You better read the story again for your own knowledge. It is a very great lesson for human behaviours through millennia.

Good question, but if you take the bible reading literally then as they were the first people on earth then the answer would be no. Thats because they weren't brothe/sister.
Now if you looked at their children Cain and Abel one of them had a wife, so where did the wife come from?

Not really - eve was a female clone of Adam (if you go by the whole rib thing). So actually we are all the product of masturbation - I think?

Adam said,"Bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh." How close is that. We are all related.
Incest was not a law of the land until 2515 years after Adam.

Yes, how else could one explain the popularity of The Dukes of Hazzard in the 1970's and monster trucks?

No, but their children did. That was in the days before genetic decay.
