I know that Adam and Eve were the first people created and people say we are decended from them but from then to the time of Noah the population grew and according to the bible God saw that they were not good and created the flood and killed off every except for Noah and his wife and their 3 boys and their wives, and they repopulated the earth so would'nt we have decended from them?

Yes we are the descendants of Mr. Noah, Mrs. Noah, his sons and their wives. From those eight people sprang the human race.

According to the Bible, all people today descended from the survivors of a great Flood - Noah's family, who in turn descended from Adam and Eve (Gen 1:11). There are many stories, from many parts of the world, of a great Flood that only several people survived to repopulate the earth.

As Adam and Eve were the first people on earth Noah were decended from them, so according to the bible we all are decendants from Adam and Eve. Noah helped to save the human raise and all the animals.That´s why there still is life on earth.

This question can be solved only if we believe in transmigration of souls ie.life after life or life after death. In the first life(which was very good),the names of their bodies were Adam and Eve.But when these souls went on taking birth after birth, they became "not good" and in the last birth ,the name of the bodies of the same souls were Noah etc.So we are decendents of Adam and Eve and not of Noah etc.

Noah was a descendant of Adam and Eve (or Lilith?) Either way we are the product of an incestuous relationship at least from Adam's side. Cain knew his sister (or sisters or step...) And after the flood Noah's daughters got him drunk and knew him.

If you are those who believe in the creation and flood myth, a little critical thinking goes a long way.
Inbreeding causes more birth defects and infant mortality than a robust and diverse gene pool. Both myths don't acknowledge this plain truth.
The polygamous intermarriages of the FLDS cult in southern Utah produces a high percentage of a condition known as fumarase deficiency. The enzyme irregularity causes severe mental retardation, epileptic seizures and other effects that often leaves children unable to take care of themselves.
We wouldn't have lasted more than a few generations until we died out.

We did, but Adam and Eve were like the first born, which usually carried the family name so to speak.

Technically, Noah and his wife descended from Adam and Eve, therefore making us descendants of both.

If you believe the Adam & Eve and the Noah stories you must accept that you are the product on incest. But then to a cannibal, incest has to be mild.
