Actually, there were many brother-sister marriages prior to the laws of Moses.
Abraham was married to his half sister, Sara.

Don't believe any religion that claims that the story of Adam & Eve is the word of God. Because, when members of the same family propagate the offspring are always born with genetic defects. And where did the various races come from?

No. Adam and Eve are myths. The creation story in Genesis is just that, a story to explain the creation of the world and people and to explain why people suffer.

There was no Christianity when Adam and Eve were alive.

One thing to remember when speaking of "Creation", Adam and Eve, the Garden, and so forth.... there was no Law given for men to follow until it was given to Moses by God. If there is no law to follow, there is no law to break.
After men demonstated their faults and a need for law, then it was given.

Whether you believe in creationism or evolution, obviously we are all related one way or the other. There was a starting point.

No, they are not blood brothers and sisters but spiritual brothers and sisters.
Literally, they are cousins, many generations removed.

We're all related anyway, by evolution - just rather more distantly than the Bible would have us believe :-)
