he kills everyone but Noah's family.
so Adam and eve reproduce and their children reproduce, with each other - GROSS!
2 all of their children are children of incest and continue to multiply until there are millions of inbred cousins, bothers & sisters, etc - still - WAY GROSS!
Then he reduces the inbred world to only Noah's family who are all relatives by blood regardless of marriage.
They start all over again with the oncestous worl population thing.
No we know it is a scientific fact that inbreeding of jumans leads to metal retardation and birth defects (See European Royalty & Arkansas) The more the incest continue the more severe these defect become.
So my question is: If we are all the products of millenia of incest how is it the vast majority of us are noraml and without birth defect? If the bible were true I would expect this to be a planet of people that look like the mutant family from the Hills Have Eyes rather than what we have today.
Please - Explain:

Oh yes the perfect body questions, incest God first says it was okay, but then when the world grows and it's knowledge increases bam all of a sudden God says no (neat how god works like that) Adam and eve such a fun story, yes in bible times man did not or could not comprehend how fire comes out of a lighter, but we have advanced, grew and increased and yet somehow we will never comprehend God, we could bend the very fabric of time and space yet there will always be people ranting about how we can not comprehend a being that hasn't shown itself in a few hundred years (Joan of Arc being the last recoreded) So, God is good, he can wipe out an entire planet of people, doom an entire society because one woman at an apple and yet somehow through it all God is still good because we can't comprehend what he does, well Hitlers Youth Army couldn't comprehend his actions and yet somehow everyone else knew it was wrong, sad really

When Adam and Eve were created they had a perfect genome. No disease genes. No errors in transcription or translation. It took time for mutations to begin after they were kicked out of the garden. Time for the problems you mention in royal families to occur and God eventually declared incest to be a sin. These perfect genomes are likely what caused the long lives as well.

I personally think at that time incest probably didn't lead to mental retardation... i think God probably made it that way because NOW it just seems plain weird for sisters and brother to inbreed... but that's basically like how everyone wears pants now even thought back then everyone wore dresses and same thing within the bible it doesn't say that the style will go from dresses to pants it just does... i think God only put IMPORTANT stuff in the bible.. i mean it does stand for Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth... so i've heard... God Bless :)

The bible does not mention all the lineage from Adam and Eve, so to suggest that incest took place is a false assumption. There was no incest between Adam and Eve's children. To assume that - again, it's a false assumption - a wrong guess. As for Noah's flood, that was God's judgment upon those who rebelled and defied God. It was his punishment upon the earth for man's sin and rejection of Him. God is holy and just, so any punishment/judgment He brings upon those who rebel against Him and take pleasure in their sin, it is His righteous and just choice to make - not for us to debate or question.

Adam and Eve were not the first people God created. For example, Cain went to the land of Nod and took a wife. Where did those folks come from? God created all the races, except one, on the 6th day, rested, and created Adam and Eve on the 8th day.

only simpletons (morons), take all this literally.
a suggestion has been made that outside of this nice little family group, there actually was other people out there with which to propagate the human race, ie: Adam and Eve maybe were a "chosen" couple.
or......it's just a load of primitive, superstitious garbage.

No manner of explanation will help you nor would you understand... instead let me ask you a question, if I may be so bold ??? If you believe in evolution or what ever, how many people were *made* in your story of ppl at ONE time ?? if a person took several years to be *made* then how did the population get so big in your story ???? go in peace....... God bless

There were Adams in Genesis it says They created 'them' and called them' Adam'.There were other people on earth that were not of the Adomite race.Also they were told to go out and replenish the earth.To replenish something it had to be plentiful to start with.

The bible 'is' true, and you shouldn't mock what you do not understand. In the bible days it was okay to have kids with your siblings but now it isn't. The bible is true no matter what anyone says.
