There are many things to nitpick, but that isn't one of them. Old Testament mentions Adam had both sons and daughters.

That's not better, is it?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Either was there's some incest going on.

Mitochondrial Eve (evolution) proves incest, so there's that.

She was also the main villain in the PS1 rpg classic, Parasite Eve!

Damn, there's a name I haven't heard in a very long time.

Parasite Eve

I've never played those games, but the retrospective by I Finished A Videogame about the series is one of my favorite YT videos.

If Joseph Smith said the Garden of Eden was in Alabama would have been more credible

My old religion teacher said that hereditary diseases weren't a thing back then. I don't believe in the bible but that kinda checks out.

The Bible doesn't say God stopped at Adam and Eve.
The meme does.

From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.

It's pretty explicit that he didn't make more than one man. Or maybe it was just a biblical harem anime?

It wouldn't be explicit to the Jews, as the New Testament isn't a thing.

The Bible doesn’t say God stopped at Adam and Eve.

Yes, but I wasn't talking about just the old testament, as that's not the claim you made.
