No problem with that, if one takes the Genesis record at face-value. Early on, there was not genetic load that would cause problems with close-relations. It wasn't until several thousand years later that the prohibition of incest was put into place. (You'll notice that after the Flood, lifespans took a major nosedive over the next half-millennium, indicating a severe build-up of a damage in the human gene-line, most likely triggered by major environmental changes brought on by the Flood.)

So, again, how many have you killed today. > I think perhaps your understanding of the Bible is a bit flawed. That law to observe the Sabbath (and to kill non-observers) was a national law, given to the nation of Israel. Your misunderstanding is understandable, since many Christians seem to think (and tell their cultures) that the 10 Commandments is something that applies to all people. Nope; it was a law for the Israelites. Not for the Germans, or the Medes, or the Swedes, or the Hottentots, etc etc etc. (Many Christians also believe that Sunday is the "Christian Sabbath" -- that concept is also un-Biblical.) === Now if you really want to get into a religious flame-war, lets talk about vi vs emacs. I personally hate vi (but then, I never really learned it). On the other hand, I think I've fired up emacs once, and was totally befuddled. So I reckon perhaps that makes me a vi-emacs agnostic. -- Kent West Westing Peacefully <http://kentwest.blogspot.com> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
