Question:
Dr Hank, Adam & Eve were the first created. They had Cain & Able and other children I’m sure. But there had to have been some incest between mother and son, Father and daughter, or brother & sisters to populate the earth. Is that correct? Is it possible that God had created other humans that He didn’t reveal to us in the Bible? Why would He allow incest and later condem it? It is just a weird topic to think about isn’t it? Hope you can shed some light on this subject. Thanks!
Answer:
Adam and Eve were perfectly created with no defective genes. Because of sin man has been going downhill ever since. Apparently the marriage between brothers and sisters did not cause much of a problem until the time when God gave the law at Mt Sinai. This was some 1,500 years after Adam.
