Answers in Genesis? I want an answer for this!

Genesis 19:31-34New International Version (NIV)

31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.”

33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.”

Okay Christians, explain away.

Incest was taught to them by Eve who had to do it in order to preserve the family line since she only had male children.

The only good women are for is making babies, so it's a really big issue if there's no one around to get them pregnant. An unpregnant woman is no good to anyone. That's the answer to why they're so concerned about having babies that they're willing to rape their father.

Answers in genesis is the most annoying website on the internet and theists quote it all the time

What's the question?

What is there to explain?
The good, bad and ugly is right there.

Lot was led out of Sodom before it was struck.
Much like life right here, people were doing what they wanted-
I expect the girls were acting like those in the town they grew up in.

Of course, the angles could have told them that there would be a very chaotic time period when they would think the world had ended but it hadn't so that they wouldn't rape dad.

Where did they get the alcohol? I understand they must have stocked the cave but why bring so much wine when you are fleeing for your lives?

Why did Dad get drunk again after the first rape?

Israel Finkelstein, Israeli archaeologist, has a great explanation for that stupid story.

Dear Mental Outlaw
if you are a secular gentile you are under natural laws.
leave the scriptural laws to those believers who are called to answer to them.
If you are not one this is not your jurisdiction.

in short the OT is about living by the letter of the
law and the NT is about living by the spirit of the laws

so the OT is full of the tragic history of humanity corrupting the law
by greed for power, and this is a warning this path leads to death
and destruction. this way does not work. the Retributive Justice approach by enforcing laws by judgment rejection and punishment. doesn't work.

the NT is about restoring the spirit of the laws based on love
of truth justice and peace, or the Holy Trinity in secular terms.

Restorative Justice is the meaning and message of Christ Jesus in the Bible.
you can study and look this up and understand using
secular terms of how restorative justice works and
transforms lives and relationships to heal from wrongs
and break the cycle of retribution and abuses form the past.

so you can do this as a secular gentile using natural
laws adn the same spirit of Restorative Justice fulfills
those as Christ Jesus is taught as fulfilling the laws in the Bible.

one is the sacred laws of the church for believers to hold eachother to
one is the natural laws of the secular state for gentiles to hold ourselves to

equal justice under law fulfills both paths
but one path using religious terms and scripture
while gentiles use secular terms civil laws and science to enforce laws of nature

[Minimalist]

and the NT is about living by the spirit of the laws

That's not what the alleged "jesus" said.

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
