My first question is an easy one to initiate this Q/A session. It's easy because it is a popular question often asked by curious "young'uns" in the church. (In fact Jamal on the Showtime series "Soulfood" ask this question to the preacher but instead of giving an answer the preacher sent him out the Bible study group for being disrespectful.) Also I'm sure this is a question that many okp's probably would like answered too.
Anyways the question(s) is(are):

Were Adam and Eve the ONLY people created by God? If so did their children procreate with one another?


The reader is never told with whom Adam and Eve's children procreate. But later we find that Cain has a wife (Genesis 4:16). One could speculate that the wife was a daughter of Adam and Eve since the birth record of women is rarely(ever?) given, however this would imply incest, which the Bible states as wrong.

According to the Book of Leviticus, incest is wrong.
For instance:
Leviticus 20:12 (NASV)
'If there is a man who lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed incest, their bloodguiltiness is upon them.

Anyway that's it for this one. Simple huh?
