Why did Adam and Eve have children with no genetic defects?
Why this shift occurred is hard to say. Since Genesis describes all that was created in the Garden of Eden as good, including Adam and Eve, their genes may have been well-developed to the point that their kids could marry siblings and produce children with no genetic defects.
Did Adam and Eve have children between Abel and Seth?
At first glance, Genesis 4-5 sounds like it’s saying Adam and Eve didn’t have any children between Abel and Seth. It says that “After the birth of Seth, Adam lived another 800 years and he had other sons and daughters,” (5:4) as if there was a long period where it was just Adam, Eve, and their two sons followed by a big expansion after Seth.
How many sons and daughters did Adam and Eve have?
The scriptures state that Adam and Eve “begot sons and daughters” after Seth ( Genesis 5:3-4 ). However, there is no mention of the exact number of their descendants, just the name of their first 3 sons Cain, Abel, and Seth.
Did Adam’s three sons marry their sisters?
Regardless, sheer math would indicate that at least one of Adam’s three sons married a sister. This idea is disturbing and goes against the laws forbidding incest in Leviticus 18. However, prior to this law being given in Leviticus, there are various instances of men marrying their sisters or other relatives.
