In the beginning

First let me set the timeline.

Garden of Eden to the flood

If we started with only one breading pair and following God's law how did we get to the population just before the flood? Where did the wife of Cain come from?

Hmmmm.........well, let me just say that the only way that Cain could get his wife, was if he married his sister!!!!

Does make sense, and all the people I've heard, they claim the same thing!

We see in the Bible in Genesis 3 where Adam and Eve were cursed and sent out of the Garden of Eden. In Genesis 4, Cain kills Abel. In Genesis 4:17 above we see that Cain had relations with his wife. Where did he get his wife?

The answer is simple. Cain married one of his sisters.

Genesis 5:4 says, "Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters." We see that Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters.

It wasn't until much later, during the time of Moses, that incest was forbidden as the genetic pool became less and less able to stand interbreeding. "

if one couple were to have 3 children and all children had three children after 5 generations the fith generation would be 81 children all because of 1 couple.

That's assuming that the children interbreed with each other. Not a pleasant thought considering the outcome of that many generations of inbreeding. There would be only a small gene pool to draw from.

God's Laws

Many people immediately reject the conclusion that Adam and Eve's sons and daughters married each other by appealing to the law against brother-sister intermarriage.

Some say that you can't marry your relation.

Actually, if you don't marry your relation, you don't marry a human! A wife is related to her husband before they are married because ALL people are descendants of Adam and Eve. --- all are of one blood.

This law forbidding close relatives marrying was not given until the time of Moses (Leviticus 18-20).

Provided marriage was one man for one woman for life (based on Genesis 1 & 2 ), there was no disobedience to God's law originally (before the time of Moses) when close relatives (even brothers and sisters) married each other.

About the interbreeding you are talking about.

It cleared up after Moses passed the law forbiding incest.

Now it is true that children produced in a union between brother and sister have a greater chance to be deformed. As a matter of fact, the closer the couple are in relationship, the more likely it is that any offspring will be deformed. It is very easy for the lay person to understand without going into all the technical details.

Each person inherits a set of genes from his or her mother and father. Unfortunately, genes today contain many mistakes (because of sin and the Curse), and these mistakes show up in a variety of ways. For instance, people let their hair grow over their ears to hide the fact that one ear is lower than the other ---- or perhaps someone's nose is not quite in the middle of his or her face ---- maybe someone's jaw is a little out of shape--- and so on. Lets face it, the main reason we call each other normal is because of our common agreement to do so!

The more closely related two people are, the more likely it is that they will have similar mistakes in their genes, inherited from the same parents. Therefore, brother and sister are likely to have similar mistakes in their genetic material. If there were to be a union between these two that produces offspring, children would inherit one set of genes from each of their parents. Because the genes probably have similar mistakes, the mistakes pair together and result in deformities in the children.

Conversely, the further away the parents are in relationship to each other, the more likely it is that they will have different mistakes in their genes.

Children, inheriting one set of genes from each parent, are likely to end up with some of the pairs of genes containing only one bad gene in each pair.

The good gene tends to override the bad so that a deformity (a serious one, anyway) does not occur. Instead of having totally deformed ears for instance, a person may have only crooked ones! (Overall, though, the human race is slowly degenerating as mistakes accumulate generation after generation.)

i know! lol it was just an example. i could had put any number i wanted, lol the reason i chose 3 is because it was easier to multiplay LOL

We are being dumbed down because of sin, all that interbreeding out of perfection but in sin destroyed the Human mental abilities, i we are slowly deteriorating in mental abilities through out each generation.

I believe the world is dying also, Earth is rapidly dying, that would explain scientists being wrong with Carbon dating too.

There is more proof now that we are living on a dying world now more then ever

Ill post proof on my new thread called proof of God coming soon
