If Adam and Eve were the first of our race, and Eve was created from Adams rib, wouldn't that mean Eve would have Adams DNA, thereby skewing the gene pool between them?

Skewing the gene pool? Whatever are you talking about? Perhaps you need to think this through just a wee bit more (if possible...and no drug-induced stupors, please).

DNA is something that is not just shared by human beings but by ALL living things.

The inference in the story of Adam and Eve is that Eve was a CLONE of Adam.

If the claim is that God intervened to prevent this genetic misfortune, where is that supported?

There's no genetic misfortune here...unless you feel that human life is a misfortune.

If God supposedly did intervene, then what about the kids? Over history we have had proven time and time again that incest breeds several forms of genetic errors, retardation, etc. How do "believers" deal with this obvious logical flaw?

This is just more false 'urban legend'. Inbreeding has been used sucessfully in ALL species (including the human variety) since the beginning of time. I see and hear genetic error and retardation all around me and none of it caused by 'incest'.

Inbreeding CAN increase deleterious recessive genes but it can also be used to eliminate these very same undesirable genes.

We've got a long way to go as yet before we come close to understanding the science of genetics. For now, avoid sleeping with your sister.

Also, regarding Adam and Eve, according to the "texts", when did they live?

A very long time ago...

I would like to see how we have reached this population number, in that amount of time, and explain how the numbers don't match.

If the numbers don't match it's because your math skills are lacking and your data assumptions are false.

Adam was created, according to Genesis, on the 6th day. Some theologians maintain Adam was 800 years old when he died. So that would mean he lived from year 0 (or rather 1 since zero hadn't yet been invented) to year 800, minus 6 days.

Actually, Adam was 930 years old when he died (Gen. 5:5).

Okay, one mutation that happened was the extra large head size. Which is uncommon in other animals. That could be viewed as a DNA screw up. Also, although we have hairless earthworms, it is rare for large mammals to be hairless unless they ended up like the whales. Many humans are nearly hairless as compared to cats and dogs. (apes). And the large head size resulted in child brithing pain and even death. Which does not seem like something that nature your pass on as evolution based on survival. Carl Segan wrote in one of this books that the large head size is the best scientific evidence in support of the speical creation of Adam and Eve.

Interestingly, it was ONLY after Eve had 'eaten' of the forbidden 'tree' (The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil) that the curse of a painful childbirth came upon her. The inference is that they were given a higher intellect (therefore a larger brain/cranium) making humans more God-like. It's obvious that the large head size is NOT evolutionary but specifically created.

Now if Eve is in fact the rib of Adam then the human race began when God created her as that was like telling Adam to go screw his self (scientifically speaking). Otherwise if she is given brith out of Adam's side then she is his own daughter, suggesting that the human race was begot by the first child molester. And no one made a religion out of that biblical concept. In fact, the reverse took place. It seems all rather distrubing. The evolution idea is less distrubing.

Eve was a CLONE of Adam so I guess she could be considered like a sister. Their genes were PERFECT (no mutations, no defects). It would, of course, be all downhill from there culminating with the genetic cesspool of today.

It is these verses, and many more, that current day flat-earthers and geo-centrists cite to uphold their long since discredited ideology that the christian church once sanctioned. It is their literal translation of an infallable book. As far as other societies and religions that shared these beliefs, we look to where the Hebrews got all their fairy tales. As neighbors, the ancient Hebrews had the Egyptians and the Babylonians. Both civilizations had flat-earth cosmologies. The Biblical cosmology closely parallels the Sumero-Babylonian cosmology, and it may also draw upon Egyptian cosmology.

And there's people on earth (they've been spotted here at this site) who don't believe that man has actually stood on the moon. Go figure.

If they literally translated the Bible, they would know that it reveals a spherical earth, contrary to popular misconception.

Isa 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

Flat-earther's are obviously people who have never taken a bath. Anyone who has stood on a shore of ANY great body of water has surely noticed the curvature of the earth on the horizon. It's curvature is UNMISTAKABLE. Since ancient man was not nearly as ignorant as modern man, it's completely absurd to envision a sailor believing that the earth was flat. Only readers of modern science fiction (called textbooks) could be this ignorant (hey, they've actually swallowed the fairy tale of evolution!).

Are big-heads a thing of the past? Diminishing cranial capacity a foregone (albeit, forlorn) conclusion?
