EarlGreyOrDeath
Genetic studies seem to point to humans being down to about 1k individuals at one point.
And that's in the bible?
Because if you are talking about the flood, that's not the reason why - there's no evidence of a worldwide flood in the last 20K years
and there should be.

This story is a metaphor folks. It’s not actually how the earth/humans came about. Pun intended.
gamer2k4
What makes you so sure? And why should that part of the Bible be metaphor when none of the rest of it is?
Because from a logical, practical, academic approach it simply doesn’t make sense. At all. However as a story, it has layered wisdom.
Imalwaysready
Mom is aging very well.
Vhyson
Cain likely married a sister or niece. Adam lived to be 900+, and the bible does mention him later having many sons and daughters. As far
Or hear me out: it's all just a fable meant to teach us stuff about how to be better people, and not meant to be put under a microscope.

Thats not what the people said in the middle ages and anyone who was refusing to believe got lynched.

As inbreeding, would be unavoidable, but assume Adam and eve had a perfect genetic code, then inbreeding would have had little negative
norill
why bother applying logic to a myth?
Noob3rts
Inbreeding has very little negative effects. It makes you slightly, keyword, more susceptible to specific diseases and limits DNA but daz it
Impact on the genetic code of their offspring. This however would have provided mutations to get any variance from Adam and eve' s genetics
And later down the line, incest was banned in the law of Moses, arguably to prevent compounding of genetic mutations like we would see today

I think the boys had twins sisters and they married them. Or their sisters were a separate set of twins. I hardly listened in Sunday school.
CreepyPhlox
The bible also says that there were already other ppl on earth but the lesson comes from Adam and Eve so that's the focus.
WumboPower
They had like dozens of children.
...all with the same exact same DNA chains as Eve supposedly came from Adam's rib. So it's inbreeding with clones.
I suppose that would induce some mutations
Jawesome19
Imagine how smart they were cause we're the product of like thousands and thousands of inbreeding taking place. Basically giant mutations
FiestaCamel
it would explain why most people are so fucked up
Snooj
They actually had a lot more kids. Which doesn't help when you consider genetics in general, but, y'know. Better than them fucking Eve.
AreThoseMyPants
If you consider genetics in general, it's not like they had had time to develop genetic defects or mutations like, at all. Those came later.
dontsayretarded0itsgay
You can't pack all of today's human DNA into one set of chromosomes. Adam and Eve would have to be polyploid
Doesn't matter since all their kids bloodlines die out in the Noacean flood, except for Seth's
UnpopularOpinionPuffinPersonified
Not necessarily true since Noah's sons had wives who also survived the flood and weren't necessarily from Seth's line.
Yeah I forgot about the wives. Thanks

That’s a dilemma no one has ever been able to appropriately explain for me. Maybe, because it’s not real.

AaronStivers31415
Adam lived to 930 years and had 56 kids with Eve. They were biologically "better" and we're the result of degeneration from incest.

Arguably, God created other humans other than Adam and Eve. Bible doesn't say they are the only ones created, just the first.

Well there was Lilith in the Jewish tradition but she did not like the things going on
Typical Lilith.
svga
well, it does say that Adam was the first, maybe he wasn't the only? Cain did find a wife in Nod near Eden... so there is that,
In Jewish tradition there was another but she did not do well I think her name was Lilith she basically rejected god and went tohellonherown

In Jewish midrash (basically rabbinic Biblical fanfic) Lilith came before Eve, but she didn't want to be subservient to Adam so she (1/2)

Also inbreeding may not have been as detrimental at the time because of a lack of deleterious recessive alleles.
Yep. Genetic faults are why inbreeding is harmful, because they compound. If you start with perfect genes, that's not a problem.
Plenty of species employ inbreeding as their primary strategy. Outbreeding risks losing traits that you've acquired to adapt to your environ
Maybe they were polyploid. Maybe God manipulates DNA "en vivo." Maybe "miracles." You can believe whatever you want to

In Genesis 1:27 God creates humanity. "Male and female created he them" Adam isnt created until chapter two.
Also Cain was pissed at Abel because God dissed him. Cain worked the earth and offered fruits and vegetables. Abel offered meat.
So God, not a Vegan. :D
I don't really want to be that guy, but the justification God gave was that Cain didn't give his "first fruits," i.e., his best to God, not
intaglioguy
This rule was so the Temple parasites ate well at the expense of the followers.
Please, be that guy. If people are going to complain about the Bible, they should know what it says first.
smallchanceofsuccess
Same thing happens at my potlucks.
that he gave veggies versus Able's live stock.
TheZacAttack
You are 100% correct, the temple laws weren't set yet. The issue was that Cain did not give of his best, not what was given.
Drucifer1988
When Cain was being marked for his murder he complained that others in the world would hurt him. the theory is the world was populated (1/2)
I like to think it was the break between neanderthals and homo-sapiens and the earth was inhabited but that places this 7 million years ago.
Ryanator50
that's a good rationalization.
A2DY79
More like 35-50,000 years ago...7 million years ago was when human and monkey ancestors were diverging.

No the real question is, does God have a butthole?
Well if Adam was a mammal I assume God is too so I guess yes.
if god is a mammal, does it mean he sucks tits?
mytigio
the point is if Adam wasn't born, but rather hand crafted, here is no reason he would have a bellybutton and the same applies to God. 1/2
Even if God were a humanoid mammal, unless it was born and had a umbilical cord attached, why would it have a bellybutton?
Ergo, God was born at some point.
tygerpsimatrix
Q.I. Answer: No. Since Adam was made from the earth and Eve was made from one of his ribs; they would not have had belly buttons.
They wouldn't have a reason to. But there's no reason for earth to spontaneously form into a dude either so it seems more "if god wanted"
GrievousBHarmsworth
"Rib" is a suspect translation. Ever notice how human men still have all their ribs, but they don't have a baculum?
Mercenarity
Neither do horses, but we don't have a temptation story for them.

What's a baculum again? *reads other reply* Ooooh
Why wouldn't human men still have their ribs even if a rib was used? If you lose an arm, your children still have both arms.

Real answer: No. Because we evolved from a population of primates, and there was no actual Adam or Eve.

Incorrect. They would not have undergone the developmental stages that we associated with belly buttons. But it doesn't address (1/3)
Which basically boils down to "we don't and can't know."
Indeed. If we presume a creator, then everything is explicable in terms of "The creator wanted it that way" and Nothing is Falsifiable.
Kodaxmax
Which is why its such a popular escape. Just pretend everything is justified, because some idol says so and never have to question anything.
you mean like having your umbilical cord cut? they were never in a womb, dogg
No. But the Omphalos hypothesis asserts that they get a bellybutton ANYWAY. Wiki it. Its a fun read.
i have wiki'd it, thanks for the interesting read :)
if they actually HAD them. This is the root of the question in Omphaloskepsis. Did created trees have rings? Were Geological (2/3)
strata created as if aged? Was starlight from apparent distant galaxies created en-rout? (3/3)
Most sects of Christianity (and any Abrahamic religion) accept that the universe is more than thousands of years old.

This story is a metaphor folks. It’s not actually how the earth/humans came about. Pun intended.
gamer2k4
What makes you so sure? And why should that part of the Bible be metaphor when none of the rest of it is?
ElessarThorongil
Because from a logical, practical, academic approach it simply doesn’t make sense. At all. However as a story, it has layered wisdom.
Imalwaysready
Mom is aging very well.
Vhyson
Cain likely married a sister or niece. Adam lived to be 900+, and the bible does mention him later having many sons and daughters. As far
DurendaI
Or hear me out: it's all just a fable meant to teach us stuff about how to be better people, and not meant to be put under a microscope.

As inbreeding, would be unavoidable, but assume Adam and eve had a perfect genetic code, then inbreeding would have had little negative
norill
why bother applying logic to a myth?
Noob3rts
Inbreeding has very little negative effects. It makes you slightly, keyword, more susceptible to specific diseases and limits DNA but daz it
Vhyson
Impact on the genetic code of their offspring. This however would have provided mutations to get any variance from Adam and eve' s genetics
Vhyson
And later down the line, incest was banned in the law of Moses, arguably to prevent compounding of genetic mutations like we would see today
TheRicM
Also the ground watered itself and there were no thorns or bristles before the curse, so it was also a totally dif. environment to live in

I think the boys had twins sisters and they married them. Or their sisters were a separate set of twins. I hardly listened in Sunday school.
CreepyPhlox
The bible also says that there were already other ppl on earth but the lesson comes from Adam and Eve so that's the focus.
WumboPower
They had like dozens of children.
mirrorz
...all with the same exact same DNA chains as Eve supposedly came from Adam's rib. So it's inbreeding with clones.
Vhyson
I suppose that would induce some mutations
Jawesome19
Imagine how smart they were cause we're the product of like thousands and thousands of inbreeding taking place. Basically giant mutations
FiestaCamel
it would explain why most people are so fucked up
Snooj
They actually had a lot more kids. Which doesn't help when you consider genetics in general, but, y'know. Better than them fucking Eve.
AreThoseMyPants
If you consider genetics in general, it's not like they had had time to develop genetic defects or mutations like, at all. Those came later.
dontsayretarded0itsgay
You can't pack all of today's human DNA into one set of chromosomes. Adam and Eve would have to be polyploid
dontsayretarded0itsgay
Doesn't matter since all their kids bloodlines die out in the Noacean flood, except for Seth's
UnpopularOpinionPuffinPersonified
Not necessarily true since Noah's sons had wives who also survived the flood and weren't necessarily from Seth's line.
dontsayretarded0itsgay
Yeah I forgot about the wives. Thanks

That’s a dilemma no one has ever been able to appropriately explain for me. Maybe, because it’s not real.

AaronStivers31415
Adam lived to 930 years and had 56 kids with Eve. They were biologically "better" and we're the result of degeneration from incest.

You are 100% correct, the temple laws weren't set yet. The issue was that Cain did not give of his best, not what was given.

When Cain was being marked for his murder he complained that others in the world would hurt him. the theory is the world was populated (1/2)

"Rib" is a suspect translation. Ever notice how human men still have all their ribs, but they don't have a baculum?

Neither do horses, but we don't have a temptation story for them.

What's a baculum again? *reads other reply* Ooooh

Why wouldn't human men still have their ribs even if a rib was used? If you lose an arm, your children still have both arms.

Real answer: No. Because we evolved from a population of primates, and there was no actual Adam or Eve.

I can't tell if you are one of those flat earthers or not

Well you're no fun at all.

Incorrect. They would not have undergone the developmental stages that we associated with belly buttons. But it doesn't address (1/3)

Which basically boils down to "we don't and can't know."
natabus
Indeed. If we presume a creator, then everything is explicable in terms of "The creator wanted it that way" and Nothing is Falsifiable.
Kodaxmax
Which is why its such a popular escape. Just pretend everything is justified, because some idol says so and never have to question anything.
chimchim666
you mean like having your umbilical cord cut? they were never in a womb, dogg
natabus
No. But the Omphalos hypothesis asserts that they get a bellybutton ANYWAY. Wiki it. Its a fun read.
chimchim666
i have wiki'd it, thanks for the interesting read :)
natabus
if they actually HAD them. This is the root of the question in Omphaloskepsis. Did created trees have rings? Were Geological (2/3)
natabus
strata created as if aged? Was starlight from apparent distant galaxies created en-rout? (3/3)
Altanese
Most sects of Christianity (and any Abrahamic religion) accept that the universe is more than thousands of years old.

It's no less reasonable to imagine an umbilical cord from the Earth to fetal Adam than his being "made from the earth" in the first place.
