Creationists believe in incest

Now I am willing to bet that pretty much all Christians will tell you that incest is morally wrong. Heck, if it wasn't for the righteous Lot (2 Peter 2:7-8) impregnating his daughters after the fall of Sodom and Gomorra the Bible would be pretty clear in its condemnation about incest. (Leviticus 18:6; 20:11; 20:12; 20:14.)

However, creationists literally believe that the first book of the Bible is a historical account and that the events described within actually happened. You know, God blew on some dust and made Adam the first human; took a rib from him and created the first woman as a companion; all people and all nations are descended from these two people. This means that creationists believe that Adam and Eve were the first humans and all of humanity is later descended from them. All people.

A leading creationist website, Ken Ham's Answers in Genesis, in response to a question from an apparent child states:

Olivia, let’s look at what the Bible says to find an answer. Our verse says that God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply. In other words, they were supposed to start a family in the Garden. But the Bible also indicates that they had to leave before they had any children.

You see, the Bible tells us that all men are born with the sin of Adam. If Adam and Eve had started their family in the Garden, their children would not have been born in sin or affected by Adam’s sin. So, I think they may have been in the Garden only a few days before they sinned and God made them leave. 

When you believe the bible literally, then little questions like this become a big concern. It seems pretty clear that to AIG, Adam and Eve were the first parents, whether they had their children in "garden" or not. Notice how important it is to them that all children are impugned with original sin since Adam and Eve.

And then theres All About Creation.org, which asserts to us:

Adam and Eve were the first humans, according to the Jewish, Islamic, and Christian religions, and all humans have descended from them.

There's no doubt there. All humans are descended from Adam and Eve. Not that they were some of the first people. No, they were the first people and all humans are descended from them. You. Me. Everybody. All 6 billion of us on this planet.

This is a big problem for creationists like Ken Ham that they don't like to think about or address. In the mp3 clip "Adam of Eve - Parents of All People," Ham talks around the issue of incest. Instead, he begs evolutionary biology in making the case for Adam and Eve as the parents of all people.

It should be blaring apparent that if Adam and Eve were the only two people who started the human race, then the only people that are left to breed with are sons and daughters since there would have been no other people around to breed with. This means that Adam must have had sex with his daughters, Eve must have sex with her sons, and that sons and daughters had sex with brothers and sisters to have had children to propagate the species. It's so painfully obvious that it doesn't take science to disprove this very notion, just applied reason.

And we know what interbreeding in families does to populations and persons, don't we?

Whether they admit it or not, creationists must believe in incest since they believe that Adam and Eve were historical figures and that all of humanity is descended from them.

This is why belief in the Genesis myth is ridiculous.
