What would make you think such a thing?

You bristled at the notion that Christians should be introspective. So, I asked why you reacted that way.

Nothing indicates it except:

The bible says there were two people. One a man, the other a woman. Adam and Eve. So, with the ability to reproduce at the time requiring one of each, and there only being one woman, she was the only one able to produce other women. Her daughters.

Cain married a woman. It could only have come from Eve, and that means it was his sister.

There. is. no. other. explanation.

Or God created them. Again, the Bible doesn't say one or the other. Agree to disagree and move on.

Does the Bible say they are the only people created? Does the Bible say that Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel were the only beings on earth?

If you want to believe that it was incest then that is your choice, but all I have said, for the 10th time, is that the Bible does not provide any definitive proof that there was an incestuous relationship.

No, the writers of the bible like to insert gawd done it at every conceivable moment. If gawd had created more in that myth, we would have heard about it, loud and proud.

But is the Bible really known for leaving out acts of God? I mean, God seems pretty prevalent and important in the Bible. Hell, the first three commandments only talk about God (I'd put not killing first, but that's just me). If God created more people, it seems unlikely that would be left out.

All though, I agree with you to some extent. I don't think their was incest between Eve and her children. I however don't think Eve existed, so that might be why...
