If Eve was created from Adam's rib, that would mean that they were related and Cain and Abel were products of incest.


The concept of prohibited incest, does not come about until long after the flood. The logical reason for this is that Adam and Eve were perfect, having perfect genetic makeup, and therefore procreating would not be subject to the genetic defects that came later. As time progressed, those defects accumulated, so procreation of close relatives eventually became a biological problem.


Lunatic fringe....we all know you're out there.
