“Let us work from the premise that Adam and Eve were the first two humans.”
Well, Adam and Woman. She wasn’t Eve until she’d had at least one kid, thus became the ‘mother of all.’
“We like to think that humans are the top of the evolutionary ladder”
only absolute morons that don’t understand evolution.
“and hence have the most complex of the DNA strands,”
This comes from thinking that humans are the entire POINT of creation. Only a creationist fantasy.
“but in truth, much lower forms of life have more chromosome pairs than humans.”
There’s no ‘lower’ forms of life in evolution. Just different. ‘Lower’ is subjective. And not terribly supportable.
“Odd since we are so specialized by comparison.”
Holy fuck that’s wrong. We are more generalized. We can eat a wider range of the available foods than many life forms. We can use tools to compensate for our lack of claws, fangs, horns, antennae, and so on.
“Perhaps the early humans were more "evolved" on the DNA level and multiple generations of inbreeding had no ill effect.”
Just pulling that out of your ass does not actually solve the problem of inbreeding.
“Likewise, environmental changes since the dawn of creation may have damaged human DNA to the point that inbreeding produces problems where it previously had not.”
The weakness of inbreeding is still the replication and reinforcement of any recessive problems.
“Since we can't examine a living person from that time, we will never know.”
So, not much of an issue to flog in defense, is it?
"Since both in the garden and after the great flood God ordered man to be fruitful and multiply, it is possible the dangers of inbreeding for several generations was negated by supernatural means.”
Just a miracle that God did without getting any credit for it in the Bible. And no reason at all to suppose this shit out of thin air.
"There is contention that Adam and Eve had many kids but only their first two sons (Cain and Able) were documented in the Bible.”
And Seth?
“This would be consistent as the Bible does chronicle the lives of men in greater detail and more frequently than it tends to focus on women. Remember Lot's wife? She had a name, but nobody saw fit to record that.”
And all the women on The Ark.
Yeah, it’s consistent with made-up stories, too. Only the proactive characters get names.
