Dumb

Not at all. It is intellectually amateurish to conclude that everyone literally descended from Adam or Noah as the result of incest. There is no evidence of that, only assumption. It is very simple theology that God creates who and what He wants, and does not have to report His every action to His creation. Anyone with a brain can appreciate this concept. Simple logic can postulate that there were other people on Earth aside from Adam and Eve, they just happened to be the very first ones. I've heard there's a verse in the Bible that they went to another location on Earth and found people there. Mystery solved. Same with Noah. No reason to assume any incest was involved. Surely as God can create the heavens and earth and all creation, He could manage to create a few more people to avoid incest being committed, no?

It's all quite simple really, but then there is the issue of people who start their thinking process with an anti-religious sentiment (mostly created by decades of cultural programming which portrays religion in the worst light) which assumes that religion and religious thinking is backwards.

fundamentalists:exist

but I gather you are not part of that particular flock.

Yeah of course moron, because people are descended from other people, going back to the first people. Doesn't imply incest. Did you miss the part where there were no humans and then God created them? Just because the story goes that humanity was reduced to a few people in a boat does not mean incest ensued. God could just as easily have created more people for the survivors to marry and reproduce with, just as was likely the case for Adam and Eve. Funny listening to the ill logic of the "logical" minded, as if God's power is constricted by people's narrow mindedness.

Why do lay people become such simpletons when they think they can easily dunk on theology? Most of what they know about it is based on pop culture.

Don't ask me to do your homework for you. Frankly I don't like you, you are an attention hog. Took me literally 5 seconds to find the relevant info and discussion on a net search. You are an anti-intellectual

Are you stupid are just feigning ignorant to score points on your own little "gotcha" scoreboard. I made the same point twice and it hasn't registered lunkhead.
