Not pertinent to your point but I'm surprised if there is any certainty regarding the viability of a species continuing from only one couple. Of course it would be greatly diminished as a species and the likelihood that it would retain a resistant population for any of a number of recurrent diseases would be mighty slim. Still it seems like a crap shoot rather than a null. But, since I don't know the bible, I don't assume I know it all.
