Insest only makes it more likely that your baby will have problems, it doesnt automatically make them retarded. So i would have to say no.

Plus its religous so a whole load of BS went on.

Everything in the bible can be confuted with science, thats misleading.

Much of the bible actually agrees with OBSERVATIONAL SCIENCE.
I would like to see some examples too of science proving the bible wrong.

Here is an answer to the question you asked, it isn't misleading, just think a bit.

If we now work totally from Scripture, without any personal prejudices or other extrabiblical ideas, then back at the beginning, when there was only the first generation, brothers would have had to marry sisters or there wouldnt have been any more generations!
Were not told when Cain married or many of the details of other marriages and children, but we can say for certain that Cains wife was either his sister or a close relative.

A closer look at the Hebrew word for wife in Genesis reveals something readers may miss in translation. It was more obvious to those speaking Hebrew that Cains wife was likely his sister. (There is a slim possibility that she was his niece, but either way, a brother and sister would have married in the beginning.) The Hebrew word for wife used in Genesis 4:17 (the first mention of Cains wife) is ishshah, and it means woman/wife/female.

And Cain knew his wife [ishshah], and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his sonEnoch (Genesis 4:17).

The word ishshah is the word for woman, and it means from man. It is a derivation of the Hebrew words iysh (pronounced: eesh) and enowsh, which both mean man. This can be seen in Genesis 2:23 where the name woman (ishshah) is given to one who came from Adam.

And Adam said: This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman [ishshah], because she was taken out of Man [iysh] (Genesis 2:23).


Thus, Cains wife is a descendant of Adam/man. Therefore, she had to be his sister (or possibly niece). Hebrew readers should be able to make this connection easier; however, much is lost when translated.


Today, brothers and sisters (and half-brothers and half-sisters, etc.) are not currently permitted by law to marry and have children.

Now it is true that children produced in a union between brother and sister have a greater chance to be deformed. As a matter of fact, the closer the couple are in relationship, the more likely it is that any offspring will be deformed. It is very easy to understand this without going into all the technical details.

Conversely, the further away the parents are in relationship to each other, the more likely it is that they will have different mistakes in their genes. Children, inheriting one set of genes from each parent, are likely to end up with some of the pairs of genes containing only one bad gene in each pair. The good gene tends to override the bad so that a deformity (a serious one, anyway) does not occur. Instead of having totally deformed ears, for instance, a person may have only crooked ones. (Overall, though, the human race is slowly degenerating as mistakes accumulate generation after generation.)
However, this fact of present-day life did not apply to Adam and Eve. When the first two people were created, they were perfect. Everything God made was very good (Genesis 1:31). That means their genes were perfectno mistakes. But when sin entered the world because of Adam (Genesis 3:6), God cursed the world so that the perfect creation then began to degenerate, that is, suffer death and decay (Romans 8:22). Over a long period of time, this degeneration would have resulted in all sorts of mistakes occurring in the genetic material of living things.



Sorry for the long post, but since people like to jump to conclusions without thinking, I found it necessary
