Did we come from Incest

[Der Teutoniker]

Who knows and who cares. We're here, that's enough. Anything else is just speculation.

Nothing in life is certain. It's in human nature to care, that's why pretty much every single known culture on the Earth has had some sort of religion and creation story.

It's also why we have scientific-based speculation on the creation of the universe. We probably can never know, factually, how the universe started, but we have a lot of evidence, so a decent idea of how it seems to have started, but even still, that is mere speculation.

I am aware of all that. I just don't bother. I'm here and that's enough for me.

And I answered the OP's question with: Who knows and who cares? We're here.

We're here, right? Does it matters, now, if we came from 2 siblings shagging each other? Far far faaaaaaaaaaaar into our past? Please. And yes, everything can be speculated. For example... I can speculate that you just feel in the need to have an argument with me. And you can, of course, speculate that I will not give wings to your desire to argue. It's just speculation, mind you, just like we can speculate forever and ever from whence we came from. I just don't care about it. Just adding my 2 cents.

You responded dismissivly to the OP, and I responded similarly to your rather pointless post, explaining why someone might care, indicating that I myself care. You might say, though not so defensively as you already have, that I am just adding my two cents to yours.

And what are you then? Everyone knows god is English...

"An Englishman will not win this French tournament. English legs are unsteady on French soil."

"And because French wine is too much for English bellies."

"And most importantly, because the Pope himself is French."

"Well, the Pope may be French, but Jesus is English! You're on!"

A Knight's Tale FTW!

I responded to you in kind. That's all I was doing.

This would have been a much better response to the OP, it is much more clear.

In kind to how I responded to you? You mean in style, or simply that your response took the same form as mine, digital text transmitted via a server over the internet?

I don't know, I came from my mom's womb and she came from grandma's womb and so forth and so on. Who knows, maybe some NSGers are my cousins or 2nd. cousins or summat.

Now first to all Nsers I am 100% strong christian, but I was watching tv and somebody said if Adam and Eve were related and had kids does that mean we all came from Incest? Just a thought.

Nope. That rule is only for christians.

[Kyronea]

If the human race really did magically start with only one breeding pair, then yes, we quite obviously would have had to come from incest.

Luckily, the Creation story is very far from literal reality, so while I'm sure various of our ancestors committed incest, it at least wasn't the creepy "everyone fuck mom because we have no other option" incest of Genesis.

Look at it this way: At least Eve never had to worry about a boring sex life.

Yes, though it doesn't mean it caused retardation, of course because of all the past incest now days it increases the chance of retardation, doesn't mean it caused it back then.

I believe I recall seeing that gag on either The Simpsons or The Family Guy.

The very fact that every living being on this planet shares a common ancestor necessitates that every human is related on some level. Therefore, anyone you have sex with is, technically speaking, a relative. All secks is by necessity incest. The only thing we can argue about is how incest can we get before it's "bad?"

Mods: My apologies about the big pictures, but I assure you they're relevant.

King Charles II of Spain. Whole host of medical problems. Check out his family tree.
I'd say we'd want to stop before we hit that much incest.

[Pope Joan]

The genome project says we all came from one common ancestor; I think she was from North Africa?

So yeah, I guess you're right.

I doubt the typical problems associated with inbreeding would have presented at that stage of the development of the species.
