The story is a metaphor, not to be taken literally.

Maybe that's why I'm retarded.

I don't prefer to use the word "inbred."

I prefer to use the term "related to each other as brothers and sisters in God."
.

Nope. 'Cause then the Nephilim came down and added angelic DNA to the gene pool.

Genesis, Chapter six, verses one through four.

Of course, if geneticists are right, we're all inbred, too, since we all descend from a single female progenitor who lived two hundred or so thousand years ago.

There is a story related to Eden where actually those of the higher races were not supposed to mix until their own race had populated sufficiently. Those were to be of the Adamic Ascension. But evolutionary creatures crept in and they mixed anyways and what we have now is a sort of amalgamated mixture of both. The story of God being upset because the Sons of God in Genesis (Genesis 6:1-2
When people began being numerous on earth, and daughters had been born to them, the sons of God, looking at the women, saw how beautiful they were...)
Anyways, as the story goes, here we are, an admix of many races.
From only the Biblical aspect with no other source of information it is pretty hard to figure all this out. There have been a few other books on the subject, one I say in the bookstore the other day and I've already forgotten the title, talks about a find in or around the middle east that can only leave one with a different more awakened and sensible feeling that there is lots more to it than what is alone given in the Bible.

Been their tried that argument, they come up with a different excuse every time, and sometimes recycle some of the old ones.

Even if that weren't the case, we'd all be inbred anyway. Something about everyone being everyone else's 30somethingth cousin.

if its true....then yes

don't forget Noah's supposed ark

The genetic problems that might (and I emphasize might) happen with incest generally are gone by as close as first cousins.

Even with closer relatives the chances of any genetic problems are still pretty slim.

Incest used to be pretty acceptable, esp with royalty and wealthier families to preserve the bloodline and the estates. We only think its so terrible now because society has decided it is gross.

Not that I am encouraging incest, lol, but its fairly recently that incest was made such a big deal.

Of course we are. But even if it were NOT a true story, ( which it IS) you still have the same problem. The children of first two people WHOEVER they were, had to mate with each other.
