As for genes to be mentioned in scriptures, do you really believe those of that time would have known what God was talking about, God knew, He designed man. What the people would recognize is the unhealthy offspring of such a union. Just because I use today's knowledge does not mean it can not be applied to scripture, what we have and are learning was known to God even before creation.
So it was still incestuous. God designed a system of being whereby the only possible way for humans to flourish was constant incestuous sex. That's what I was driving at, something you'd denied earlier because the word is icky to you.
As to this humanity being unable to understand genes at the time, in order to believe that we'd need to make two concessions; one is that god made beings who were incapable of understanding their own physical makeup, something that's manifestly untrue. And that an all knowing and omnipotent god would be incapable of devising a way to explain it that we would understand, which is also untrue according to your own theology.
Quote:I'm not making up anything, God knew about genes and how long it would take for them to become corrupted to a point that brothers and sisters having babies would result in children with birth defects leading to an unhealthy population. Man when Christians use their brains they are criticized without cause, and when they don't they are criticized and rightfully so. God put an end to brother sister marriage when he gave the law to Moses.
You are making things up, and here's why: you have absolutely no scriptural basis with which to be making any of the assertions you've just made. And if it's not in god's good book, then you have nothing even remotely factual backing you up. You're just saying things.
Quote:There is no perfect gene pool, so no a brother and sister should never marry.
And since you've got no definition for what a "perfect gene pool" would be, or what one could constitute, then you have absolutely no justification for saying any of this.
