Genesis 19:31-36 One day his older daughter said to her sister, "Our father is old, and there are no men anywhere for us to marry. (32) Let's get our father drunk! Then we can sleep with him and have children." (33) That night they got their father drunk, and the older daughter got in bed with him, but he was too drunk even to know she was there. (34) The next day the older daughter said to her sister, "I slept with my father last night. We'll get him drunk again tonight, so you can go to bed with him, and we can each have a child." (35) That night they got their father drunk, and this time the younger sister slept with him. But once again he was too drunk even to know she was there. (36) That's how Lot's two daughters had their children. CEV

Yes he was.It is true that in Genesis chapter 19 the historical facts are conveyed without any comment respecting God’s approval or disapproval of Lot’s twice committing incest in an intoxicated state. But in later portions of the Bible record, God’s condemnation of drunkenness is clearly stated again and again.
While Lot and his daughters were not under the Law, they were, nevertheless, aware of the impropriety of having relations with their own father, as shown by the fact that they first got him intoxicated.Why, then, is Lot called a “righteous man,” at 2 Peter 2:8? Not because God approved of his getting drunk, nor because God approved of incest. God did not approve such conduct. But it should be noted that there is nothing in the record to indicate that Lot was a habitual drunkard, nor was he habitually involved in acts of incest. His reputation was that of a “righteous man,” and this reputation he had with God, who examines the heart.

It's been my personal experience and widely known lore that a man of middle age or older who is too drunk to know who he is having sex with is too drunk to perform.
Lot had to know. The girls gave him an excuse and he went along with it.
It wasn't humankind the girls were worried about, Hogie. Just the Chosen. After all, the Jews had a sweet deal going--whenever God wasn't visiting tribulations on them, or wiping them out again.

hmm, not sure. This translation seems to indicate he was too drunk to tell. I would suggest comparing translations. Additionally, look up Noah as well because I think his sons did the same thing to him. Except they weren't trying to make a baby of course.

I'm not sure why this is less believable than Lot escaping Sodom after his being dragged out of the city by angels, the city being destroyed by God, and Lot's wife turned into a pillar for turning around to see it.

That was his story and he stuck with it. His word against theirs and you now how low women were viewed in those times. He more likely got drunk and raped them but could hardly remember it the next day.
Try to find consolation that the story of Sodom & Gomorrah and everything written about Lot is a fictional story.

Lot did no longer got down to get inebriated. And who hasn't had slightly too lots wine at sometime? additionally, his daughters have been very worried approximately his lineage. He had no sons, his daughter's fiances does no longer pass away Sodom and that they did no longer understand in the event that they might have husbands or infants. there grew to become into no regulation against incest at that factor. examine the Bible and you will locate God gave the rustic of Israel rules concerning incest yet that grew to become into hundreds of years later. people have been lots nearer to perfection and there have been no longer the genetic defects to concern them, nor God, of course. whilst it grew to become risky, he condemned it. Lot's daughter's concern for his or her father's call and line being endured grew to become into their purely objective, in accordance to the Bible. And it would not say it surpassed off greater advantageous than as quickly as.

Looks that way.
The two daughters may well have thought that all humanity was destroyed, and not just the cities of the plain, and they thought this necessary to keep mankind on the earth.
