Jesus came from an incestuous line

You also didn't hear me mention 'initial population'.

I did however provide a reference with 'population bottleneck' right there in the URL.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_bottleneck

If there were more than the 10-30k of humans to mate with then how can the 10-30k be the lowest number?
I don't understand the question. It doesn't make sense.

You're making an assumption that's not backed by any evidence when you assert incest "must have" been prevalent. Humans evolved from a population of other organisms. How many "humans" were around from that first population that appeared 200,000 years ago? No one knows.

Other humans.
Its called 'descent'. People have babies, those babies grow up, have sex, have more babies, etc.
What exactly are you having trouble understanding about it?

So basically pure speculation.

Yes. But it's a common belief among Christians and biblical scholars that I didn't invent. That's the point, since you asked for souces.

So you concede that it isn't in the Bible as you originally claimed?

To paraphrase Hebrews, once one has known the the truth and then turns away to believe a lie it is impossible for them to believe the truth again.

For your sake I'd like to think Christ isn't a reality, but then I'd be lying too.

Scary stuff, knowing from that point on no matter what you do, your fate is now set and
Hell is where you are going.

You realize the bible outright says everything in the OP, right? Nothing I've said is made up.

So is God going to be pissed at biblical accuracy?

I think everyone agrees with you that incest was a part of the human condition at the
very beginning, but that later changed.

Your creator gods are all powerful and all knowing, right? So who made hell, and who made people, and who sends people to hell?

They don't sentence people to hell based on morality, instead they punish forever based on faith belief systems. How can you tell if your gods are evil?

God made Hell for the devil and his angels, when we joined him we became part of the
problem with sin and evil.

Matthew 25:41
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Revelation 20:10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
