“Since Adam and Eve were created in a state of high perfection, with the full complement of genetic material, this would have allowed substantial variety to arise quickly among human beings, who were free from inherited defects. Thus it would have taken a long time for the gene pool within mankind to become contaminated enough to prohibit intermarriage between relatives.
“Although incest was later forbidden by God at the time of Moses (Leviticus 18), procreation must have occurred, by definition, between the earliest human beings. Marriage between closely related human beings could not have been regarded as sinful by God at that time.” Creation Rediscovered, Gerard J Keane, TAN Books, 1999, p 85-86].
‘Darwinism was rejected by most French biologists, for example, including the late Dr. Pierre P. Grasse, president of the French Academy of Sciences, who called Darwinism “a pseudo-science” that is “either in conflict with reality or cannot solve the basic problems.” A group of prominent anti-Darwinists produced a technical volume called *Beyond Neo-Darwinism *in 1984, in which two American biologists, Gareth Nelson and Ron Platnick, wrote, “We believe that Darwinism . . . is, in short, a theory that has been put to the test and found false.” Molecular biologist Michael Denton weighed in with *Evolution: A Theory in Crisis *in 1986, in which he showed that recent developments in molecular biology are at complete variance with Darwinism. And, Michael Behe’s (Professor of Biochemistry) *Darwin’s Black Box *(1996) caused a stir by pointing out that Darwinian evolution is biochemically impossible.
‘Scientists and philosophers who disagree with Darwin who deny that small mutations guided by natural selection can add up to “macro” changes still call themselves “evolutionists” since they recognize that all life forms share basic genetic material and so may be descended from a single ancestor; but they are frank about not being able to explain how this happened. Some speculate that species undergo a “genetic snap” which produces new ones. This would mean that evolution was somehow “pre-programmed” in the DNA. This scenario sounds a lot like St. Augustine’s and is, of course, anathema to Darwinists because it points to a Programmer God.’

—no, seriously, don’t tempt Him. That was people, not God. The people who raped the girl were punished and the 3000 were slain because they worshipped a golden calf.
Absolutely. God gives people free will, but they will be held accountable for their actions.
