Adam and Eve impossible

[salty]

I started reading the article myself and I stopped because I too have questioned and wondered how so many people could come from two people.

Also the problem with there being just two is that their kids will have to mate. Imagine that, brother on sister (or the other way round, depending who prefers to be dominant).
This is in fact inbreeding, which causes genetic disorders. Fatal for the species. You may live and your kids but the genetic faults will prove fatal.

Animals aren't allowed to mate in zoos if they are directly related to each other. Inbreeding. So yeah, there are some faults with the only two people thing. The whole tree of knowledge thing has even more faults with it. Like why would a god put a forbidden tree in Eve in the first place. Also why add a talking snake into the mix? Yet god blames Adam and Eve when they eat from the tree which he put there, and listened to the snake which he also put there and then punished them even though they didn't know any better. Seems like god set the whole thing up. The situation was rigged. It's like putting a very dangerous power tool in your toddlers bedroom then blaming and punishing the toddler for touching it. You as the parent should know better. Same goes to god.

If they didn't have the tree, they would be forced to obey God for all time never choosing God. That's not real love, that's slavery. If God wanted slaves he would have made the angels with no will to decide if they wanted to rebel and he wouldn't have created Lucifer, since he knew that Lucifer would be the one to compel the others.

It's like an old fashioned arranged marriage, your spouse is chosen by your parents, no good times and bad times with a boyfriend or girlfriend, no chance to be dedicated to someone because you want to, no Notebook love, no P.S. I Love You situation. You would be handed your destiny with no arguments. Who wants that?

With the tree and the commandment not to eat the fruit, humans were given a choice. Obey the commandment and resist the fruit or disobey the commandment and indulge. God is all knowing, therefore he was aware that they would disobey and he already had a plan to redeem humankind, which he declared in Genesis.

It's confusing to think of Adam & Eve giving birth to so many children, and incest, etc happening. Cain married someone from another land so I'm really unsure where some of the people that were around came from, but that missing information is not enough for me to doubt the existence of God, it's not enough for me to doubt the Bible either, it's just something that God will help me understand later, as well as the reason for the creation of the centipede.
