Here's the only post you're going to get from me on this subject.
This is not a serious inquiry coming from a desire to learn.
This is a question that comes from the desire to bait Christians and start an argument.
I advise every Christian to ignore this topic.
If this guy needs ANY reasoning as to why incest is wrong, then anyone who knows him should call a psychiatric hospital, the police or both because he is both crazy and dangerous.

that is right
anyway , if christians afraid from this argument , they can ignore it .
for you information i dosn't encourage it atall , but i wanted to know if they have relegous reasons , that is it
Not being a Christian I will not answer for them, but having studied genetics I will assure you it is not a good practice. The odds of offspring with genetic issues increased many times in areas of incest. Even in small gene pools (not incest) the lack of outside genetic variation will allow genetic problems related to both parents having a resessive gene with negative benefits in common.
There are states than BAN cousins from marrying...there are states that permit it.
If you want to look at the Bible, there were certainly cases of incest there. After all, if we are all descended from Adam and Eve...and those were the ONLY people around, there MUST have been SOME kind of incest going on at some point, right?

thank you for your sharing
my basic reason for make this thread is because i saw some christians here refused homosexuality to be a sin , thier proofs is that it's mentioned in old testament only . so that i wanted to know from them the situation of incest because this sin also not meantioned in NT
by thier logic , if homosexuality isn't sin , so the same is incest

Just saying.
Yes, there are several instances of incest in the bible
Well correct me if I'm wrong but after the supposed Great Flood had left Noah and family as well as a male and female of every animal in the world the Bible seems to be telling us that the earth was repopulated by the survivors. The only possible explanation would be that inbreeding and incest was how this happened. Afterall, the single pair of kangaroos for example must have had at least one male and one female offspring who would have no other kangaroos to mate with except for each other since all of the others had drown. The same would be true of the surviving humans. That's just another reason I find this story to be so impossible to believe.
It is true that incest in unnatural and unhealthy and animals in the wild know this instinctively. If breeding populations get too small genetic problems start to occur and birth defects and all sorts of physical problems become common.
Then there were the offspring of Adam & Eve. They'd have to have "bunny" fun a lot and they'd have to be related because mom & dad were the only people on earth. Unless they mated with our cousins, the ape, and started evolution through incest.
My guess is that incest is a sinful because the genetic problems that might occur. Some believers in biblical inerrancy hold that God created human DNA without any flaws--thus, during the times of Adam and Eve there was no reason to outlaw incest. And indeed, it wasn't until many years later (during the time of Moses) that God gave the command to outlaw incest--perhaps once our genetic material was corrupted enough to cause problems.
