Do you believe in Adam and Eve?

Question

If your answer to the above is YES.

Then we must be related as brothers and sisters. Why commit incest?

Or would you say that God was born to erase the past sins and incest is allowed these days??

A SINGLE SATISFACTORY ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION ... and I will accept that I am wrong in my assessment. Let's not quote from books - but instead quote logic that is understandable for everyone.

for Big Al:

I sannot say that an amoeba multiplying into two is incest. Sorry. I do not agree !!

for Wheelsqu..:
That was a new one - and a feeble attempt. I wonder why no one is able to give a correct logic here??

for Yogagate..
I am a die-hard believer, my friend. This is not the beginning of faith for me. My skepticism is directed at those who say they are the ONLY truth and then fail to substantiate themselves !!

Answer 1

That the human race was founded on two individuals is a biological impossibility.

+ There would be no way to generate the diversity of characteristics seen in modern humans, such as the variations in eye and skin colour, height, hair types and so on.

+ the incest implied in founding the human race on a single breeding pair would generate numerous physical defects resulting from inbreeding such that the human race would have died out after only a few generations.

Answer 2

I thought brothers and sisters are those born from one same mother.

About Adam and Eve - Its about faith.

Your question is nice but do understand that sceptisism is the beginning of faith. Faith makes all things possible.Religions die when they are proved to be true. Science is the record of dead religions.

When you have come to the edge Of all light that you know And are about to drop off into the darkness Of the unknown, Faith is knowing One of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on or You will be taught to fly.

I hope that answers your doubts !!

Hey Peacie,
Aren't you being illogical?
God was not born, for He is the Father of all things.
Through Adam all mankind is related, we are all his children, brothers & sisters we are. Mother Eve was actually Adam's daughter, from Adam she was taken, flesh of his flesh and bone of his bones. In the early stage of mankind, close relative incest was absolutely necessary for regeneration. During that period men had much greater stamina, and the advantage of a purer environment in which to live, attributing to their longer life spans. Through the millenniums many heretary imperfections have developed making it very impractical for close relative parentage. We are now plagued with all kinds of preventable birth defects due to incess.
The practice of close relative incess promotes further degeneration of the human race. Therefore it should not be allowed.

“Y-Chromosomal Adam” and “Mitochondrial Eve” are the scientifically-proven theories that every man alive today is descended from a single man and every man and woman alive today is descended from a single woman.

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. One of those pairs, known as the sex chromosomes (because they determine gender), consists of two X chromosomes in females, and one X-chromosome, one Y-chromosome in males. Girls receive one of their X-chromosomes from their mother and the other from their father. Boys receive the X only from their mother and the Y only from their father. Therefore, the Y-chromosome is passed directly from father to son. Because of this, scientists are able to trace male ancestry.

In 1995, the journal Science published the results of a study in which a segment of the human Y-chromosome from 38 men from different ethnic groups were analyzed for variation (Dorit, R.L., Akashi, H. and Gilbert, W. 1995. Absence of polymorphism at the ZFY locus on the human Y chromosome. Science 268:1183–1185). The segment of the Y-chromosome consisted of 729 base pairs. To their surprise, the researchers found no variation at all. Their conclusion was that the human race must have experienced a genetic bottleneck sometime in the not too distant past. Further research was done and it was determined that every man alive today actually descended from a single man who scientists now refer to as “Y-Chromosomal Adam.”

Mitochondrial Eve takes it a step further. While Y-chromosomes are only passed down from father to son, mitochondrial-DNA is passed down from mother to both daughter and son. Because mitochondrial-DNA is only passed on by the mother and never the father, mitochondrial-DNA lineage is the same as maternal lineage. Knowing this, scientists have found that every human alive today can trace their ancestry back to a single woman who they now refer to as “Mitochondrial Eve.” While Y-Chromosomal Adam is believed to be the ancestor of every living man, Mitochondrial Eve is believed to be the mother of all living humans, male and female.

It is important to note that this does not prove that Y-Chromosomal Adam was the only man alive before he started having children. This only proves that his descendents are the only ones to have survived. Likewise, Mitochondrial Eve was not necessarily the only woman alive before having children. Rather, all we know for sure is that she is at least one of the ancestors of all living humans. While other contemporaries of her may or may not figure into the ancestry of living humans, we can at least say that none of their mitochondrial-DNA has survived.

Scientists who share the Darwinian bias naturally presume that these two were not the only humans alive during their pre-child bearing lifetimes, while Biblical creationists naturally presume that they were. As for determining when these two actually lived respectively, the conventional perspective is founded upon uniformitarian assumptions which many creationists reject, and with fair reason. So there is disagreement there too. Naturally, the Darwinian timeframe is much longer (tens to hundreds of thousands of years), presuming an Old-Earth scenario, while the Young-Earth perspective is much shorter (less than ten thousand years). What we can say with fair certainty is that regardless of time frames and alleged contemporaries, every man alive today descended from one man while every human alive today descended from one woman.

“Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living” (Genesis 3:20 NIV).

Answer 5

It's generally legal to marry someone who is above a 2nd cousin. Franklyn and Eleanor Roosevelt were, I think, 5th cousins. I don't believe in Adam and Eve but if they did exist then we would all be about millionth cousins so there is no need to worry.

Answer 6

If you would study the Bible you would see it(The Bible) is logical and understandable.

Eve was made from Adams rib. Is that incest? Not to my knowledge.

Answer 7

also in the bible it talks about when cain kills able and cain is cast out into the wilderness it refers to him being afraid of enmies and people who would hurt him. Enemies? the only other people would be Adam and eve.

Answer 8

You might be a descendant of Charles Darwin and migila gorilla.

Answer 9

Check this one out...they say God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve! So who created Steve? If God created everything but He didn't create Steve, who did? How can there even be a Steve to believe in if God didn't create him? See how they answer that one.....................

Answer 10

since adam and eve had two sons and a daughter whome did they marry. see all totally crap.
