Q. What do Christians and Darwinists have in common with one another?

RD, I'm on the same Bible-believing page with you, of course, but may I suggest that Cain's sexual relations with his wife--although his wife was his sister--were not incest? I say this because incest cannot rationally be defined as sexual relations between brother and sister, even though for many ages on up through our present age, all sexual relations between brother and sister have been, and are, indeed, incest.

In fact, we can easily learn that incest cannot rationally be defined as sexual relations between brother and sister by the fact that, were it so, then sexual relations between, say, father and daughter, could not be incest, since sexual relations between father and daughter are not sexual relations between brother and sister. As I said to Arthur Brain , in post #256, according to Google's dictionary entry for 'incest', incest is "sexual relations between people classed as being too closely related to marry each other". According to what Google says, here, Bible-despisers such as Arthur Brain and others who claim that Cain's sexual relations with his sister-wife would have been incest have an impossible burden to inform us as to who--by the time of Cain's sexual relations with his sister-wife--had classed Cain and his sister-wife "as being too closely related to marry each other", and to inform us of when they had been so classed.

If a brother and sister have sexual relations, then that's incest.

If there wasn't anything wrong with it in the first place then why did God decide to make it abhorrent down the line?
Why don't you adopt a Biblical world-view and maybe you can figure it out.

Once again.... God said that He created ONE man and ONE woman... they had children... they and their children were the only people on earth..

Even a child can understand that.

So, you've got no actual answer then? A "Biblical" world view is not the same as a restricted, fundamentalist one. Why did incest become abhorrent? Can you answer?

You're kidding, right?

About what?

You don't even know?

No. I don't know that you mean anything by the word "incest". That's why I requested the following:

Try defining what (if anything) you mean by "incest".

<I DO NOT MEAN ANYTHING BY "INCEST"; I USE THE WORD "INCEST" MEANINGLESSLY.>

Duh.

Go google it...

Go google what?

Wow, so you don't even know what incest is? You've got internet and a service provider. Go look it up.

I have no reason to babysit your every misdirection.

Since you do not accept the most Basic Christian doctrine, I can see that you prefer to just play games.

Why don't you see what the Bible says?

That's right.... you reject the Bible from the start.

Rather, you just haven't given any actual answer or explanation as to how incest was okay from the beginning and yet condemned down the line, where those engaging in it could result in serious birth defects for any children they conceived.

I reject your fundamentalism, not the same thing.

You can see the hopeless position into which Arthur Brain has cornered himself. I have made the following request to him:

Try defining what (if anything) you mean by "incest".

And, so far, he has entirely failed to deal with this request.

Until he can define what (if anything) he means by "incest", he has not even asked you a question in his having said things like "how [was] incest okay from the beginning and yet condemned down the line[?]"
