How is incest possible if adam and eve were the first two humans created?

The concept of a Pre-Adamic race is the idea that God created a race of humans who lived on the Earth before He created Adam, the first man. This hypothesis has been promoted by various scholars at various times throughout history. Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate (circa 331–363 AD) and Calvinist Theologian Isaac de La Peyrère (1596-1676) are two notable examples.

We will look at two popular facets of the Preadamite Hypothesis: the hypothesis as it was proposed by Isaac de La Peyrère, and the form which it takes in the “Gap Theory” (also known as the Ruin-Reconstruction interpretation). According to La Peyrère, God created the Gentiles on the sixth day when He said, “Let us make man in our image” (Genesis 1:26). He did not create the Jews until after the seventh day, His day of rest.

At some point after the seventh day, God created Adam, the father of the Jews. http://www.gotquestions.org/pre-Adamic-r...

Oh, absolutely. Look at "Corey"s answer, for example (lot of babylonian mythology in there I hadn't seen before). There were homo sapiens running around the earth for a long time before the writing of Genesis, which was entirely allegorical and borrowed heavily from earlier mythologies.

Babylonian for the basis for Adam, and note "elohim" in the Babylonian myth, this is the word used to describe "god" in the Genesis allegory as well. And we have the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh for the legend of the Great Flood. There's a lot of borrowed material in Genesis.

It was never meant to be taken literally and the Jews did not take it literally themselves in many of their sects. Blessings on your Journey!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
