Discussion Eve?

A. I always wondered the same thing and felt just as disgusted as you with the answers I came up with.

A. They would have had to! Haha! They committed incest!

A. With sisters

A. i dont know

A. Noah ark is also incestuous, yuck!!!

A. Adam and Eve are fictional representatives of Gods creation of man, and are only written about to show people whats up, so it really doesnt matter

A. Great, the whole world is the result of inbreeding. Well, that explains a lot. :-\

A. no they did not, stop the silliness

A. before the sons, they had a daughter, Lilith.

A. You have a logical mind. You don't take things at face value. Good for you. BTW, The thought of either is....yuck. (LOL)

A. Yeah, the siblings must have, but at that time it wasn't wrong. They had no concept of it being gross. God just made it wrong later because he knew it would cause problems in the children. But at first it was necessary.

A. This is totally not the right question! Eve was made from Adams rib---so they had the ability to ask god to create many other beings....and this was done with advanced DNA knowledge (like cloning) that we are "rediscovering"....... Any way why do you care you are here now...sis.

A. and that is why creationism turns me off

A. A theory is that God was creating other human beings.....this is why Christians are starting to accept the theory of evolution.

A. no... i NEVER says ANYWHERE in the bible that God stopped creating... people just assume he stopped after adam and eve... there is nothing that suggests he did!

A. And it happened all over again with Noah, and his family.....See, man didn't evolve from monkeys, we are the result of massive inbreeding. Isn't it odd that the religious right finds this thought comforting?

A. well yea what else could they do

A. sisters! and maybe Mom!

A. Well it seems they would have had too, but it also says that after Cain slew Able, he went to the land of Nod and took a wife. Therefore it seems that there were evidentally more people already in existence. Unfortunately to my knowledge, we don't have anything to back that up.

A. Not "ewwww." It was necessary, really. After all, technically, when you lay with a person of the opposite sex, you are laying with a relative. Everyone is related through Adam & Eve. Plus, God gave the law preventing incest in the times of Moses. There is actually a good genetic reason for this. The thing is that back then, people were less imperfect, they had less genetic mistakes which would mean that relatives could lay with one another without risking a deformed baby. Nowadays, the closer the relatives, the more likely they are going to pass on similar mistakes to the child, which will express those mistake alleles. (Oh, and Cain didn't "take" a wife in the land of Nod, he "knew" his wife. This means to have sexual relations, so his wife would have been his sister)

A. I feel that at one point, there had to be some type incest. How else would you explain the population?

A. That is a great question! I believe it is with sisters and come to think of it..it is really gross...but in the old testament people married their relatives so not sure when it became gross to do it with a sibling but very hard to imagine indeed.

A. you believe that hogwash.. adam and eve is just a story much like the greek myths of Zeus/Jupiter. they sought to explain the beginning of the universe. have you considered adam and eve are white people? how then there were blacks, browns, yellow, and red skinned peoples?

A. there were other people on the earth I don't feel like explaining it to you but take my word for it.how would three men and one woman populate the earth.I know you are just looking for an argument but be real.

A. Yes, more than likely Adam's sons had relations with Adam's daughters. However since they were not far from "perfection" the "genetic" had not "mutated to the degree that it is now. Sister/Brother marriages were very common in OT times.

A. In Islam, Adam & Eve had sons and daughters, so it was between Adam's children.

A. 006:001 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 006:002 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 006:003 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 006:004 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 006:005 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

A. Gen 1: 27 I think means their was human on earth before adam and eve, please take the time to read it for yourself though

A. When God created Adam and Eve, their DNA was pretty much perfect, no diseases or anything. So, yeah, Adam's many sons and daughters had sex with each other. Their children had sex with sisters/cousins. This was okay at the time for 2 reasons: 1 There was no one else 2 The DNA was still pure, so there's no chance of passing on recessive genes. It wasn't until later that God passed on the law to Moses against incest, probably because by that time man's DNA had gotten bad enough so it was dangerous. And yeah, there's plenty of other people around, why go with a sib? That's icky now.

A. First off, if you claim to be a Christian and yet deny that Adam and Eve were real people, then you need to read 1 Corinthians 15, which clearly distinguishes Adam as a real man and compares him to Jesus Christ as a real man. You see, if you don't believe Adam was a real man, then you can't logically believe that Jesus was a real man and you therefore call Scripture a liar and you need to re-examine your claim to Christ. Second, we know that God stopped creating after Adam and Eve because in Genesis 2, God ceased from his creative work after creating Adam and Eve and in Genesis 3:23, Adam names the woman "Eve" because she "was the mother of all living." Third, if you create two perfect people, then they have perfect genes which contain all of the traits of the human species. Their genetic potential was so great that they could intermarry and be fine. Further, they could marry sisters and be fine. This would not have been a problem in God's eyes because he commanded that Adam and Eve multiply and fill the earth. And, with a perfect male and female physiology, you can have hundreds of pregnancies with no problem. Finally, to answer the question directly, incest is only disgusting to us know because God said it should be. In Leviticus 18:6, thousands of years after Adam and Eve, the human gene pool was finally starting to disipate to the point when harmful mutations would begin matching up and producing deformed offspring and God told the Jews not to have sexual relations with close relations anymore. And to respond to the poster above, true believers in Christ and the true Church will never accept evolution because 1) it's false, 2) it doesn't make any sense, 3) it leads to racism and slavery and 4) it is 100% contrary to Scripture, which is a Christian's final authority.

A. No, it didn't happen that way. Even the church cannot rationally answer this question. Adam was the first successful human prototype created through the synthesis of DNA. A sample of DNA was harvested from Adam's rib while he was anesthetized. It was modified and synthesized by computerized accelerated growth techniques into a woman. Many human beings, both male and female, after Adam were created in this way. This story is preserved in mythology , legends and the bible - when properly demystified.

A. there is only about a 5% chance of a genetic problem if you commit incest with a direct relative, it shrinks as you go into first, second, and so on, cousins. To say that DNA is less pure now then it was is showing how little one knows about DNA. Really to take the story of adam and eve litterally would involve throwing out the existance of DNA. An easy example, if the story of Noahwas true then sin and wickedness already existed and was rampant. At this point DNA would be corrupt from the evil in the world. To say it wasnt evil enough would be incorrect. It must have been more evil than today or God would have flooded the world now and not back then. So, for Noahand kin to repopulate the world, either it didnt really happen, it created a world full of mutants from constant inbreeding, or their DNA was pure because they were good people. If you belive that then today, a family can inbreed for generations and generations without problem if they remain good and holy......yeah.

A. Genesis is allegorical not literal ... a story meant to teach us that we are all the same family and that we all came from the same source ... God! It is the story of two of the sentient beings that God created first but He just might of created many others in the same blink of an eye or, may be, that a blink of Gods eye encompasses all of evolution.
