If Adam and Eve were created by god and no others, then their children must have bred with each other, or worst still their parents. Is that what you honestly believe?

Excuse me, but is the only reason some of you do not sleep with you brothers and sisters because its against the law? Incest has always been incest.

Well, since most are from the South, this is more common practice then taboo.

I asked this question a few weeks ago and got some strange answers:

there is an evolutionary reason why incest is disgusting - i think people are born with a natural disgust toward incest - and only under extreme conditions are these genes turned off.
Remember, everything is genetic - the "nurture" part of "nurture vs. nature" is just the environmental impact of gene expression.

Actually, geneticists also say that
If not from incest, then from some very very close relatives.
About 60-70,000 years ago, the human population was down to a very small gene pool of no more than 2,000 individuals.
One group of chimps has more genetic diversity than the ENTIRE population of humans. Chew on that!
HOWEVER, because of our genetic similarities, incest is actually not good for us. There are several inbred occurences that have made such practices undesireable.

The bible says no such thing and if you took the time to learn it, as to taking the time to try (poorly BTW) to dis it, you would know that Adam and Eve were the first, it does not say the only, it says that Cain went to the land of NOD to find a wife,
Gen 4:16

it depends on what you believe.... i personally think it is possible that while adam and eve were messing things up in the garden, evolution was taking place outside the garden walls. if there is any truth to that, then it is completely possible that there was not incest... just my thought...

How else could they procreate? Sleeping with brother and sister didn't become against the law until the book of Deuteronomy.

They also say that something has to be created by someone because nothing just happens to be there. They use digital cameras and all sorts of other man-made items as a source for their stupid logic but this would imply that God has a creator. To which they argue that he was always there and this is the one exception to the rule.
It's all a bunch of crap...

Yes, that is correct. What we call incest now was normal/allowed for many years before God prohibited it.

Yes. And it wasn't considered incest because the gene pool was pure at that time. I could go into detail but if you look at other questions that people previously posted there are lengthy answers to this question.

yes, you see the original creator of creationism idea had a REALLY hot sister he wanted to bang, but because it was a nasty thing to think about at the time, he needed to secretly subvert and place subliminal messages in people's heads that "incest is best lets put it to the test".
therefore creationism- and early subliminal advertising were born.
