Debunking the big bang theory

[Debp]

So God creates Adam & Eve. Who did their offspring mate with? The parents? Each other? Everyone knows that inbreeding is an evolutionary dead end. This isn't even taking into account the lack of genetic diversity in the creation story of genesis.

It's important to note that the majority of Christians don't interpret Genesis literally. It's impossible given what we know about human biology today.

Finally, I think its equally important to understand that evolution, at it's core, is adaptation over long stretches of time. It does not explain where the universe came from, nor does it tell us why there's something rather than nothing.

God, as an explanation, is just as good as saying that the universe spontaneously popped into existence without a prime mover. From our perspective, the former would look a lot like, if not identical, to the latter.

The genetics were pure back then so no danger with incest. And only later did the Lord give laws against incest.

Adam lived 900+ years.

His three sons Identified by name, were Born after Adam was 800+ years old.

I think it is reasonable to believe Adam and Eve had dozens of male and female children before Cain, and the Children, siblings, cousins inter-mated, and continued having offsprings and establishing their own homesteads.

It's important to note that the majority of Christians don't interpret Genesis literally. It's impossible given what we know about human biology today.

I believe it is impossible to present a broad guess, over individuals thoughts, beliefs for centuries, what they did or did not believe, as Fact.
Human biology…IS, siblings can mate, fathers and daughters can mate, mothers and sons can mate… and
Today, (relatively in the last few centuries…)family interbreeding, reveals susceptible complications for an offspring.

But that's pure speculation, no pun intended. The bible doesn't actually say that Adam & Eve had "pure" genetics. What does that even mean anyway? It seems to me like a way to try to preserve a literal interpretation of the text.

The problem with speculation, is that you can make the biblical stories fit whatever you want them to be, our whatever you need them to be. It's how you end up with people like Ken Ham. People that believe that the dinosaurs and humans coexisted with each other, and that large carnivores like T-Rex, were actually herbivores, among other things.

In any case, at some point we have to be able to say that we don't what we don't know. The bible doesn't explain these things. Why? Because the Greeks that wrote it had no concept of biology. Science didn't exist yet; they didn't know about the importance of genetic diversity. That's the simplest explanation.

This is just further evidence for why a literal interpretation of the text is irresponsible. Humans living in the past did not live longer lives, they lived much shorter lives.

Human beings today are living longer than at any time in our history because of things like modern medicine that make it possible.
