Maybe I Think Too Much ?

[Wayne Goodwin]

Well i been thinking and all things float across my mind .

Back in the day when God did his thing . He created Adam then Eve or Eve then Adam (Being Man wrote these things it coulda happen that way) . Well God said go and mutiply the earth . Think that is what i read . Any way . Adam had a Son then a Daughter . They grew up . Son has what we call sex with Adams Daughter or Eve or both Adam had to help out to . Has a baby then again and again .  Now all this cross breeding Had to be what we now know or not that our population of Earth had to start with "Incest" . Guess it wasn't wrong back then till someone said it was wrong . No one has to take what i feel is truth .

What you Think ?

No matter who the first man and woman were, in order to populate the world, they had to have incest.  It must have been tough in the beginning with all that inbreeding--lots of hip dysplasia as with dogs, hemophilia, all the diseases that come with it, but as the generations went on and thinned out, things got better.

Hawaiian royals, before the Christian invasion, married brother and sister to keep the blood pure.  James Michener's Hawaii tells of the mourning the brother and sister king and queen went through when they were told Jesus did not want them to me married and they were forced to split up.

Once I saw a talk show where the couple fell in love, had no clue they were brother and sister because they grew up in different parts of the country, and claimed they were going to stay together regardless.

Thanks for answering that . When did it become a sin in todays world . New testament ? Or mans law ?

Don't forget - The earth has allegedly been re-populated, through incestual sex, by Noah and his kids, too.

Funny, ain't it, how marriage and procreation between first cousins (Which is technically incest) is legal in 17 states - States that also happen to be the most opposed to gay marriage, because gay marriage would "harm the children" ?

I believe in Lucy from Ethiopia about three million years ago. We all carry some of her DNA. She is also sometimes referred to as Mitochondrial Eve.

They've been finding Neanderthal DNA in parts of the European population for some time now, indicating that homo sapiens interbred with them as they spread out from Africa - Which means, of course, that those of us who come from "continental" stock have some Neanderthal in us, too. Some estimates as much as 20 %.

Me, I'd like to watch  the heads of dirtclods like Cliven Bundy, Donald Sterling and George Zimmerman explode, as they are confronted with the evidence of the less-than-"pure" bloodlines of their Euro "forefathers" - Seems like there was all sorts of "mixing" going on a couple dozen millenia ago....

I think people believe what they want to believe. Personally I don't believe the Adam and Eve or the Noah version. There is evidence of humans way before those stories.

[Snagg]

Some geneticists and evolutionary biologists think that, in several thousand years, the "different" races will have interbred so much that we all might look...Brazilian.

That doesn't seem all that bad to me.
