Adam and Eve question???????

Question

If Adam and Eve were created and populated the entire human race then why aren't we all disfiqured and retarded from all the inbreeding. Isn't having sex with your mom, brother, cousin against the bible. Is this why so many more southerners believe in this literal form of the bible- because they think inbreeding is OK??

Answer 1

thank you. finally somebody is using their critical thinking skills.

Answer 2

You see that what is written is not possible. Not that two can't populate the earth. We all are mutants of what was before us. We never are exactly like the two that produced us. Over a few millions of years the mutations become very diverse.

If Adam and eve were the beginning of all humans then we would not be like other living things. In fact we are very much related to every living thing on this planet. Grass Snails, dogs, fish, and everything there is that is alive. Even the mighty red wood trees. It is all our relatives. All life began with the same mixture of elements.

Answer 3

Adam and Eve were created perfect. When they disobeyed, it flawed that condition and they became imperfect. which we have inherited.
however, their children, Cain and Abel and others, were CLOSE to perfection and not then affected by the problems of inbreeding we see today.
We are FURTHEST from perfection, and even though individuals remain moral, they can still suffer with problems like heart conditions and cancer.
The Patriarchs of Genesis lived for up to a thousand years, but not over, because they were also closer to perfection. this implies all the family lived long lives,. Genesis says their sons certainly did. But since King solomon wrote Psalms, our lifespan has been limited to what it is today. a scripture explains.
(Psalm 90:10) In themselves the days of our years are seventy years; And if because of special mightiness they are eighty years, Yet their insistence is on trouble and hurtful things; For it must quickly pass by, and away we fly.

Answer 4

because back then god allowed that to happen so we could be here, and also they were still in the since of perfection during that time, which is why they lived for many years I believe adam lived to be 130 years old Gen. 5:3, since we r no longer in that perfect state, we can not inbreed. So over the years we have move away from perfection. But pretty soon we will be back to that perfect state again

Answer 5

You have to understand that Genesis I think 3:15 - God says to "Be fruitful and multiply." It is God's command that they populate the earth. Now when we get more in depth and into the different descendants of different people, they started intermarrying and interbreeding and soon everyone was like everyone, and so God sent the Great Flood, and wiped out everyone evil and started new again. But now its starting to head into that same direction again, so I think the time of Christ is near :) Be ready! I know I am!

Answer 6

Eve got pregnant of a boy & a girl every time. each boy can only marry the girl of the next time, & the reverse. this was some kind of modification to what happens today (u can marry ur cousin) coz there weren't much ppl.

Answer 7

There were other people on earth. After Cain killed Abel he went to the land of Nod. The next verse has him with a wife.

blessed be...........the name of the Lord

Answer 8

So, given the current state of world affairs, you think that we are NOT all retarded?
