this has probably been hashed and rehashed many times before, but since my time here i haven't seen it discussed, so.... how do christians discount inbreeding from their bible and faith? it's happened several times in christiandom where two people have been left to procreate and ultimately populate or repopulate the world. now don't get me wrong, because i know there are examples in the bible where dads have done the bad thing to their daughters and it wasn't frowned upon, BUT, the population of the world would not exist if adam and eve had sex many times over with each other and then their sons and daughters and so on and so on. the children from about the third or fourth generation onwards would be completely wasted. then noah and his wife, later on, must copy adam's and eve's actions to reproduce the world when god petulantly floods it. does god not see the ramifications of what he is doing? people cannot repopulate the world between the two of them. it requires some very careful planning with about 4 men and 7 women to repopulate a world without causing inbreeding at least . any answers welcome.
