[b] If you don't have your own answers, you would do well to at least cite a more respectable source.
I have my answers, but it is too extensive for me to sit here and type all night for someone who probably isn't even sincerely interested, e ...[text shortened]... istianity and the bible. So if you would like to read about, I give you a better site. (above)🙂[/b]
Ok thanks I had a read, I just want to know what the stance of the church is on these things I’m just an argumentative person really it might seem I enjoy picking wholes in the bible but I’m like that with everything.
“However, the more closely related two people are, the more likely it is that they will have similar mistakes in their genes”
“Cain was in the first generation of children ever born. He (as well as his brothers and sisters) would have have received virtually no imperfect genes from Adam or Eve, since the effects of sin and the Curse would have been minimal to start with (it takes time for these copying errors to accumulate). In that situation, brother and sister could have married with God's approval, without any potential to produce deformed offspring”
Surly the offspring would have been at least slightly deformed otherwise it could not build up?
Also the article seems to say both that the only reason against it is moral (and recent) “The law forbidding marriage between close relatives was not given until the time of Moses” but then it says it’s also has genetic problems
"Our brains have suffered from 6,000 years of the Curse (since Adam). We are greatly degenerated compared with people many generations ago. We may now be nowhere near as intelligent or inventive as Adam and Eve's children. Scripture gives us a glimpse of what appears to be great inventiveness from the beginning."
Slightly worrying if it turns out you lot are right. Imagine the world in another few thousand years.
