Makes you wonder.

The Bible clearly states that incest is wrong.....so I wonder this.....if Adam and Eve had only two sons, then all humans must be the product of incest between Eve and her sons?????? Kind of gross to think about, and one of the many discrepancies in the Bible, which is why I don't believe in it.

That would certainly give one cause to wonder, if in fact one viewed the bible as a supposedly accurate historical account of the past. If one were to view it from another perspective, that it is a collection of fictional parables meant to convey a moral message, written by over a hundred different authors over a timespan of centuries, then one becomes free to "take what you need and leave the rest".

So why do think incest is wrong? Is it because you have been conditioned by religion? Anyone opposed to what two consenting adults do behind closed doors is a bigot. I know this to be true because I read it on Castanet.

There are a few stories of incest mentioned in the bible. Lots daughters getting him drunk so they could get pregnant is one of them.

I cannot find incest being mentioned as wrong until the laws of moses.

It almost sounds like you think this is a normal way of life Glacier.....people go to jail for this, it is against the law and WRONG. Wow....can't say I have ever heard of someone saying the above quote in this day of age....you should be embarrassed and ashamed of that quote.....don't know what else to say about that.

According to the Bible Adam and Even had daughters too.

(Genesis 5:4) The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters.

Now, it means that some brothers and some sisters were doing naughty stuff like rabbits, but it was somewhat normal back then...It's somewhat normal down South I heard even now

So I wonder this - at what IQ does a person start to realize the Bible cannot be translated literally ?

Perhaps a greater IQ then a lizard? I understand that cerebral function depends on evolution past this stage....

It's a harsh reality that half the population is below average intelligence.

No, I was being sarcastic. Sorry, it happens. Which version of the Bible were you reading that never mentioned about Adam and Eve having other sons and daughters?

[grammafreddy]

Just think how many offspring you could have if you lived as long as Methuselah ...

[subversionist]

The Bible also states that when Cain killed Abel and God exiled Cain that Cain was worried other people would kill him. Who were these other people since only Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel were the people created at the time (Seth had not even been born yet)?

I read the creation story more figuratively than literally. The point of the narrative is that God created all that is. Some try to read the biblical creation accounts as a modern science textbook when it clearly is not.
