Hi rodent_tamer, Merriam Webster Dictionary defines incest thusly: sexual intercourse between persons so closely related that they are forbidden by law to marry. Adam and Eve would necessarily be exempt from the law of incest, since it was not invented yet. My understanding of the danger in producing offspring with a close relative is due to malfunctions in the DNA coding of our present day genes. The DNA present in our ancestors bodies on the early earth would have been pure enough and without mutations to allow brothers and sisters to produce healthy offspring without risk of birth defect. Again, this is what I have heard, so it is only an opinion. Blessings, Tim |

If he condemns incest after the fall, why would he condone it prefall? |

Leviticus 18:6-20:27 and its codes against incest date from two and a half millennia later...'
