not all forms of incest were viewed as bad in the old Testament because at that time the Bloodline was pure and once you get to a certain point you are such distant relatives that it doesn't make a difference. In the New Testament on the other hand, it was not allowed because the Bloodline was no longer pure and the mutations from it were starting to show.

Yes Adam and Eve were a unit and alone at first. Incest was endorsed by God for how else could they populate the world? Also, keep in mind, their blood was still pure so incest wasn't a problem.
The bible doesn't mention daughters from them, but it does imply after Cain and Abel were out of the picture, Enoch was there and Adam and eve did have many sons and daughters....all pure blood.
Thus, incest was a way of life.
One reason for the flood.

Yes, according to the Bible...(damn, its fun to use that phrase on a Christian) In Genesis 2 Adam was made from the dust, and then when he was bored with the animals, God made Eve out of his rib.
Eve was a clone of Adam, and therefore his identical twin sister. So Adam and Eve had incestuous sex that produced children Kane and Abel. Who in turn must have had incestuous sex with their mother to father more children, or incestuous sex with their sisters, then their own children, cousins, and so on and so on and so on.
(Unless of course you prefer the other version of creation in Genesis 1 where both are created at the same time...but thats not as much fun ).
The OT is chock a block full of incestuous sex.
I expect the Xian apologists to say that Incest was ok in the OT because the line was pure.
Just like slavery was ok then.
And killing your children for disobedience.
And killing your wife for adultery.
And killing homosexuals.
And killing for eating lobster........

Well, according to the Bible, Adam was manufactured, not born, then Eve was cloned from Adams rib, also not born. Is sex between an anderoid and a clone incest?

The bible says Adam was the first man, but not necessarily the only one.

The law was passed to man by God through Moses.
There was no law before Moses but that God warned Adam not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil which represents God's law.

Yes, Adam was a human being, but God created more people. When God made Eve, Adam and Eve did reproduce, and then God made more people for Adam and Eve's kids to reproduce with

There was no adam, neither was eve, its a good childhood story though, and nice to believe even in adulthood. Human's came from apes, its 101% true Darwin's theory.
