God started by creating Adam and Eve who were the first to begin procreating. They were having sons who were marrying wives after settling in other areas. Nowhere does it say Adam and Eve were the ONLY humans God created. He created wives for Adam and Eve's Sons.\nWhat you're suggesting makes no sense. If any human or animal or creature attempts to mate with the wrong species, even if successful at it, the progeny end up sterile.\nIt's pretty clear from Genesis Chapters 4 and 5 that Eve was not mating with her sons.\n***\nAs for the sister theory it doesn't work either because Genesis gives a sequential account of who Eve was giving birth to. There were no sisters yet for Cain.\n***\nI'm using a New American Standard version which is considered the to be the most scholarly accurate as far as I know and it's a bit different from what you wrote:\n5:1 - This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.\n2 - He created THEM male and female, and he blessed them and named THEM Man in the day when they were created.\n\nThere is no account of incest of any kind. God created wives for Adam's sons separately.

Adam;s father was God. God created him.

Ooh, nice question.\n\nActually, I think you could make a strong case that they didn't have sex until after they left Eden. There's no mention of it, and I know they had no children when they left. \n\nIt was eating the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge that made them realize they were naked; is it possible they were having sex prior to this, yet failing to notice this one detail? Which they then figured out from eating a piece of fruit? \n\nI could almost imagine them just not bothering to contemplate the fact that they had different genitals because the subject never "came up", as it were. But the whole Fig Leaf story just sounds absurd if they were copulating the whole time.\n\nAfter the Fall, of course, it wouldn't really matter if they sinned or not, having already been declared sinners.\n\nOn the other hand, if they weren't having sex prior to the Fall, and one assumes that God intended, or at least hoped, that they would not disobey Him and remain in Paradise forever, one has to wonder why He would give them genitals at all. I mean, seriously, what's the point? \n\nAgain, good question.

After Cain killed Abel, he left.  He wandered to Nod, a land in the East and married a woman from among the people there (Gen 4:16).  Yes, I know it's an internal inconsistancy, but if the story is meant to be taken as a parable then it doesn't matter.  God created people, but people were already there, so perhaps it the whole Adam-from-mud-and-Eve-from-the-rib bit isn't literally true.  I know some people disagree, but I believe God had a plan and created people through evolution.  Science and religion don't have to be at odds.

Genesis tells us that Adam and Eve had two sons: Cain and Abel. Cain killed Abel, was exiled by God, and then in Genesis 4:17 we read that Cain had relations with his wife. Where did Cain get his wife? The answer is simple:  Cain married either his sister or a niece. \n     In Genesis 5:4 we see that Adam had other sons and daughters.\n\n"This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man in the day when they were created. When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth. Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died," (Gen. 5:1-5).\n\n      Since Adam lived several hundred years, having lots of children was not a problem. The Genesis account does not tell us about the order of the births nor does it tell us how old they were. By having many children it is certainly possible that there were many women around. This would mean that Cain married either a sister or a niece or some other relation. Of course at this point, the question of inbreeding is raised. But it is not a problem early on in the human race because the genetic line was so pure. Therefore, the prohibition against incest was not proclaimed until much much later (Lev. 18:6-18).\n\nI hope this helps answer your question.

The sin of our original parents was disobedience by Adam and Eve-and lack of faith on Adam's part-God could have remedied the situation if Adam had resisted Eve's request to eat of the forbidden fruit, which is not called an "apple" in the Bible.\nThere is nothing in the Bible to indicate that Eve had sex with the serpent that was in the Garden of Eden, or anyone besides Adam. \nSince the Bible is where we get our information that Adam and Eve even existed, we might as well stick by that.\nGod bless you as you search an easy translation of the Bible for yourself.

That verse does not say angels.  We have read that into the verse.  There are many different possibilities here.  This is my view, but I don't claim to have any "special knowledge" from God on this matter...\n\nI believe Adam and Eve had children while still in the Garden of Eden.  Part of the reason I believe this is that God told Eve that pain in childbirth would INCREASE.  One could conclude that this means increase from what it would have been, but I believe in such a case it would then just state that with much pain she will give birth.  I believe this is an increase in pain from what she had already had.  Adam was called the son of God (Luke 3:38).  Any children he had before the fall would not have inherited the sinful nature that had been passed on.  I believe these decendents were the "sons of God."  The chidren Eve bore after the fall would be the "daughters of man."  \n\nAgain, this is my theory, and a theory only.  However, it is no less valid than the theory that the "sons of God" were angels.

If Adam and eve did not exist... there would not have been any human beings! The first of the species of human beings the revered Adam and Eve were the first to surface on Mother Earth as human beings. Their direct ancestors being the ape family!\n\nNow Adam and Eve came onto this Earth. They had both to act as a family. Both were son and daughter of God. That made them brother and sister. How come they could have fathered children?\n\nIn the initial stages of development of human life... nothing existed which we could have called as society or community. It was a raw savage world. As per the theory of Charles Darwin, "it was the time for survival of the fittest". It was the time to do and die.\n\nWords like ethics and morality did not exist for even words did not exist during those times. The Lipi (written form of communication) was developed at a much later stage in time.\n\nEven a brother and sister relationship did not exist at that time. There were only two human beings who had surfaced on Mother Earth. They had to copulate and produce children. They did not do it intentionally. They never knew anything about it.\n\nIt was that it happened. They did it and something was born. At that moment of time they would have been extremely surprised not knowing what to do about it. Eventually they would have realized it was one of them.\n\nThey reared that child and with passage of time another child was born. This time it was a female child. As this small family progressed further... this male and female child copulated at the appropriate time. And the whole family started to grow.\n\nNow there were two families. With passage of time many more families came into existence. Until this point of time there was nothing like morality and ethics that played any role. For the sake of their survival and progeny these families kept on multiplying.\n\nThis was the only way to keep intruders at bay. They had to protect themselves from the wild beings roaming Mother Earth.\n\nEver since the Revelations of God came into existence... the human being who had invoked these words of God realized that the system had to be ordered at some stage. And some system of morality and ethics came into being.\n\nAs of today... the copulation by the children of Adam and Eve was a sin but at that time it was not a sin for the relationship of brother and sister never existed in those times.\n\nThe development of relationships in human life came at a very later the stage. It was only possible when the community would have developed into a massive strength. Population somewhere in thousands would have prompted the wise and the elders of those times to separate out into distinct families.\n\nWe need to understand that whatever is truth today may not hold tomorrow. In a scientific developing world the values whether they are ethical, moral or otherwise keep changing.\n\nWe also need to understand that during the times of Mahabharata... the battle was fought using swords, horses and elephants. But now the warfare consists of atomic bombs, missiles and chemical warfare. More here- http://www.godrealized.com/dharma_definition.html

If you believe the bible word for word (and if you read only some versions... reason why the bible isn't 100% accurate.) it says that Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters besdies Cain and Abel. So, it's not the first gay marriage-- we're all children of incest.

The first person was Adam. God wanted Adam to have a partner and created Eve from one of his ribs. God created him in his image and placed them in the Garden of Eden\n\nGenesis 1:26-27\n 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."\n\n 27 So God created man in his own image, \n       in the image of God he created him; \n       male and female he created them. \n\n\nGenesis 2:15 and 18\n 15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. \n\n 18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." \n\n\nGenesis 20- 24\nBut for Adam  no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. \n\n 23 The man said, \n       "This is now bone of my bones \n       and flesh of my flesh; \n       she shall be called 'woman,' \n       for she was taken out of man." \n\n 24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

Okay...so Adam was a disobient guy missing a rib, would couldn't control his wife, who went on to see his kids commit incest in order to procreate.   What's your point?\n\nOh, yes, and you forgot the fact that he was a liar claiming to be the first man when we all know he is a myth and that humankind is a product of evolution.

Adam and Eve were the FIRST people... that did not mean that God could not have created more the same way. Its just a thought:)

The Bible does not say if Adam and Eve were forgiven of their sin. In the book of Hebrews chapter 11 a list of people of faith are given. Adam and eve are not in that list but their son Abel is.

Ok Buckar you have a point here, now years ago when Lucy evolved and passed our DNA on down the line we soon began to walk different and get taller. See we had short legs to be able to survive on the terain and the legs were the power to run from the animals that could eat us. Oh sorry we are on Adam and Eve aren't we. After reading all these great answers I noticed one thing. Most have different answers. Now I find that there are 2 Creators, God and Lord God who created God. Jesus did have kids and hung with Mary so he could use her money to support him and he supposedly had kids too. He may have had illigedimate ones too cause they didn't have good birth control back then.As for the nipples on man they may be for the gay men. I mean its like you said God doesn't make misakes and I know a lot of gay people that are Religious and good.As for the person that stated woman was created as a helper to man I think he should have said slave cause a lot of women are supporting lazy men today.I don't see why people say the bible is fact but when I say my horoscope is true all the time they say oh that is man written and the chance of it being true is only cause some people may believe it and might have a day where it might go that way. Make sense eh ! I think we evolved from like viruses and stuff like insects did. If animals were created first and then man in Gods image only by feelings and not physical then animals are too. I say my animals love me and never sin against me where as man does, did and will continue to. Most preachers that are child molesters think it is not a sin because it is not with a woman and a man is ok cause they have written this down through time. The Monks had homosexuallity all the time and hid it, yet burned people at the stake cause they thought they were witches. This was to cover up their fears that they may be found guilty of being gay.Noah, This is utter nonsense, No way can you get 2 of all creatures on Earth into a boat for 40 days and not have them eat each other.Too many species to find to fit the boat.And how did it flood the whole world when they didn't have the weather map to show that all was flooded.I am sure that the 2 so called Gods did not send hundreds of animals from thousands of miles all over the world to get to a boat in one spot.I wonder why Jesus was in one spot on this vast Earth and at the time where there was no travel to spread the word of 2 Gods faster. If Noah had God mentally control the animals to board the boat and control the situation then why didn't he crack the whip on those darn Unicorns ! And if man is all so mighty over animals then someone was reincarnated into my parakeet cause he can say over 120 different phrases and I can't fly or immitate his language. Sorry so long as I just stopped here cause it was an interesting question .

YES, incest does exist. And it is taboo because it is family. I think more than anything is it is illegal becasue any children conceived will most likely be born with birth defects. This in itself is not good. But since you have brought this subject up and give this some thought. WE ARE all related. If the bible is as true as we are led to believe then ADAM & EVE were the first two people on earth. This being then they started the world and we are all from the same family. I mean WHERE did everyone else come from?
