So, at one point literally every human being in existence knew with absolute certainty that the biblical god and only the biblical god exists.

And then, every time some group moves away, they magically forget that fundamental truth and invent a few dozen new gods.

Smart.

i asked my hyper religious aunt once how you square the ludicrous amount of incest that must have taken place for humanity to spread out from adam and eve.

It's literally impossible. A species can't survive from just two individuals. The inbreeding would cripple them and kill them off eventually.

The Vatican even came out and admitted it's not possible for the story to be true years ago.

Considering the part selective breeding has in most of the fruits and vegetables that exist today, you'd have to wonder how far back you could go before apples weren't apples.

Its amazing how they want you to just swallow all that garbage and not ask questions.

Imagine if in life, we never took safety precautions and did everything based on faith.

If Adam and Eve is true, that means we are all products of incest wouldnt it?

What the fuck kind of book are yall reading??
If you believe in creationism, then we are all the product of Adam and Eve and therefore all sex is incest.
If you believe in evolution, then we are all the product of a common singular ancestor and therefore all sex is incest.

obviously God had them each take out a rib to create new people, for those people to have a rib taken out, and so on, until there were enough people to procreate in a way we're more familiar with.

it's like you're all unfamiliar with the story.

when an individual mutates, he passes that mutation on by breeding with individuals that didn't mutate. those kids will also breed with individuals that didn't mutate. it takes generations for that mutation to propagate throughout a species

Very not true.

But, some ideas...

God adds in new genes when needed.

Adam and Eve could also have 4 different versions of each gene.

Genetic disease could come in later via bad mutations.

If you believed the story. Which you shouldn't.

I'm Christian and I can tell you no, many don't think its a fable. Many believe it actually happened the way their pastor told them it happened mostly. (the gist. not that they even pay attention to most of the written or spoken details)

No, a significant number of religious people believe it, and believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible.

Not at all. The deity part isn't completely out of the question, I'm sure there's some viable if obscure explanation as to how the inbreeding turned out okay (or maybe the whole point is that it didn't turn out so great, and we just think we're normal because it's what we're used to...), even the talking snake isn't unreasonable, I mean have you ever met a parrot? But Adam ate the apple because Eve told him to. A man listening to his wife is 100% fiction.

I dont know if this helps or anything, but I remember hearing about this a long time ago so it may have been debunked.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_Eve

I dont have time to read through it right now so if it is false or doesnt help I am sorry.

I have no real opinion on this I just thought this could be relevant, and again if not I am sorry.

I've read interpretations that Adam and Eve were the first God created from dust, but not the only ones. Idk if that is actually congruent with the a Bible story.
