Yeah Min, it works both ways doesn't it.
Your guys make stuff up and we make stuff up.
The OP asked a reasonable question- none of us were there.

We use facts. You use fairy tales.
Bit of a difference.

And there you see apologetics in action. When you have no answer...make shit up. IANAB, but there can't be a "genetic pool" in two diploid persons. A&E would have to have functioned radically different from subsequent generations.

IANAB either but a gene pool is the total genetic information in the gametes of all the individuals in a population, so if the total population equals two there is a genetic pool still
The actual problem with that premise is that two individuals, so 92 chromosomes total (but remember that only 23 go into a gamete in each individual) could not possibly contain the amount of genetic information needed to produce the alleged 4 races (uunscientific term btw) as in the entirety of the very diverse human species. Cos that's just bull

Of course, their sons, daughters, cousins intermarried.
As time went by, the races obviously selected within themselves who to marry (as they mostly do today).
This selection weakened available genetic diversity, and the further compressing of the pool continued by people groups' language and congregating in areas removed from broader interaction.
To the point where inbreeding is a danger to people now-
As witnessed by the Muslim's acceptance to marrying first cousins and lowering Muslim aggregate IQs.
Much of your contribution is lunatic fringe in a harmless entertaining way; however, after reading this I wonder if you aren't remedying a lice problem by frequently deploying your wife's over-sized fly swatter.

My question is - Why is incest a sin if we all come from incest?
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN Incest the true original sin of the bible

Um, what gene "pool." The story says that "adam" was made from mud and eve was fashioned from his rib...in one version. Nope. To hear these lunatics tell it there was nothing before them.
You can't give them any kind of break on their bullshit stories.

Oh, right. I forgot I wasn't dealing with sane people, mea culpa
Yeah, mud and mud-ribs don't really have a gene pool, or genes, or sense

That was my point. Fine, it is a gene pool, but an almost trivial one.
