Dear God, Eve what have you done?

[Belac Enrobso]

Any opinions on Eve in genesis of the bible?

She did take the first bite of the apple, which led to the eternal cursing of mankind.

She also gave birth to three sons, just sons.

Any opinions, comments, concerns?

I'd like to hear them!

I think it's absolutely ridiculous. The strangest thing to me, it seems, is that Eve was made from Adam's ribs. If that were true, they would have the exact same genetic material. The reason incest leads to mutation and defects is because such things are more likely to happen when genetic material between the sperm and the egg is similar. The IPU knows what would happen when the genetics are absolutely the same... also, assuming that they had children, and their children had children, and their children's children's children had children, all the way down to us, purely by chance, we would have little to NONE genetic variance, unless Adam and Eve had one recessive gene for each trait, which is RIDICULOUSLY unlikely. Also, I might add, since she only did have sons, her sons had to breed with her, and that leads to even more of a chance of defects, as well as the fact that Leviticus states that incest is a sin.
Oh, and I don't know much about hematology, but I'm pretty sure that if they had the exact same blood type as well, there wouldn't be variations of blood type.

That answer was boss, so much science it made me proud to say this:

There's hope after all.

Here's what I don't get.

If the sons bred with Eve, why does she only have 3 sons? Are their children just omitted from the record?

Well, hope is something you have when a good thing is possible, not when a good thing is probable.

Oh my God,(excuse the cliche') I really never thought of it like that.
The bible lies after all.

Wow, I didn't think of that.

Now, I'm going to waste the time I could be using to do deep and intelligent thinking that could shift the paradigm of everyone someday to play cookie clicker.

Maybe some bible expert will come along and enlighten us.

[Belac Enrobso]

I'm waiting for it, I and childofreason here will have a hella can of logical woop-ass to unleash on them.
