Silly Question
OP - June 06, 2009, 05:19 AM

not this may sound like a silly question but I've been wondering about that whole Adam and Eve story... is it really supposed to be taken literally according to the Abrahamic religions? If so, how do they explain it? I mean, populating an entire world with 2 humans, when incest is obviously a sin as well as degenrative? There would have to be at least two families to start things off no?

The tafseer (and Jewish commentaries on the Torah) say that Cain and Able were born with twin sisters each, one supposed to marry the others twin. Cain wanted to marry his own sister, who was meant for Able, and is another reason for his killing his brother. Then Seth was born to Adam + Eve afterwards, and he had at least two sisters he could get children from...

I chose to get circumcised at 17, don't tell me I never believed.
