We are descendants of Adam and Eve?
If so....Where in the Bible (or anywhere else) does it say "Incest" or "Inbreeding"is acceptable???

If there was no incest, then how did Adam's and Eve's children have children? Makes you wonder about the validity of the rest of the book. Christians ignore this and make the book work to their own ends.

No where.
In fact, Leviticus 18 says it's unacceptable.
The only thing close to incest that's allowed in the Bible is the fact that Leviticus 18 lists every family member except the cousin. Meaning, we might be Biblically allowed to have sex with our first cousin.

you people keep going on about incest. its like you are trying to blame someone for your own faults. If you'd actually bothered to READ the stupid book, you would know that adam's children married the children from the land of Nod. but of course, you won't read the book, you will just keep asking stupid, ill informed questions that you could have found out by yourself.

Adam and eve was stolen from norse mythology so people would convert to christianity. Also, the abraham killing isaac on mountain was also stolen from greek mythology.

The Adam and Eve story isn't possible. There wouldn't be enough genetic variation for more than a few generations. After that, everyone would likely die of birth defects.

It's a well known fact that incestuous relationships produce offspring who're mentally challenged.

Mitochondrial Eve, yeah.
And y-chromosomal Adam.

We are all products of incest according to the word of god.
