They do say that we are all only something like six steps from each other. Personally I find that difficult to comprehend but it has been worked on by a lot more intelligent people than me

If you are looking at it from the Bible's perspective then yes. Don't forget about Noah and the Flood also.
-
Yes, we certainly are. You and i are cousins. If you are German, Scottish, Irish, English, French, American Indian or Spanish Jew, you are more closely related to me than someone Chinese or African, but we are all one family. That is why the Bible, at Acts 10:34 can state plainly that God is not partial, but in every nation the one that does His will is acceptable to Him. Beyond the creation account, the Christian Scriptures (New Tesament) attest to this fact. Romans 5:12 tells us that sin entered into the world through one man and Acts 17:26 tells us that God created every nation out of one man. Therefore, we have no basis for feeling racial or ethnic superiority. On the contrary, we have every reason to learn to love each other and especially to love the Grand Creator who kindly founded one human family to live in peace in harmony on a paradise earth. Of course, we don't see that happening today? How will it come about? That heartwarming and satisfying answer is for another day.

Even if not Adam and Eve, on current understandings the human race went through a "bottleneck" about 140,000 years ago when the group from which we all descended fell to about 1-3000 people. The odds that any two people are related, at worst that far back and far more likely much more recently, are astronomically high. The human race is one big family - and like all families, we squabble.
-
According to fact, we are all related to each other. I bet you're my great-great-great-grandmother's sister's daughter's tenth cousin's great-great-grandson.
-
Well, yes. But, that is true even if you believe in evolution. We are all descendent's of the first human couple.
-
Yes, we would all be related.
-
Of course we are, and even more closely related than just through them. Mathematically, it has been proven that all Europeans are descended from Charlemagne, King of the Franks (d 841) and that all British lines cross around the 12th century. This has proven true in my genealogy. I have over 30 descents (I gave up counting) from Charlemagne, on just one line of my mother's and my parents have at least one proven common ancestor in the 12th century. It is an other genealogical fact that, if two families have lived in a small area for three generations or more they have a 70% chance of being related by blood or marriage. So,yes, we are all closely related, and it doesn't seem to have affected us in the long run. (I keep telling myself this. LOL)
-
Yes. Also, according to the Theory of Evolution we are all descendants of the same female, what they call the first "Eve", that came out from Africa. We are all related from both points of view.
-
It would seem.

God has never been pleased with incest. He cursed Cannan... why? Ham was the one who "uncovered his fathers nakedness". We learn in Leviticus 18:7 that uncovering your fathers nakedness is sleeping with your mother, which is a command that God tells us we shall not to do. So how can incest be blessed in one part of the law and not in the other. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. His word is just and true, and it never changes. It is "man" who changes the word and call it doctrine. I would also like to challenge you to look at the creation of man (120 in strongs) in Genesis 1 and the formation of Adam (121 in strongs)in Genesis 2. Please note two different accounts. Thank you and God bless!!

Yes, inbreeding is rampant not only in West Virginia but also throghout humanity...of course, if you believe in that sort of childish fairytale
-
Yes .....Genesis 3:20 After this Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she had to become the mother of everyone living. Genesis 5:3 And Adam lived on for a hundred and thirty years. Then he became father to a son in his likeness, in his image, and called his name Seth. 4 And the days of Adam after his fathering Seth came to be eight hundred years. Meanwhile he became father to sons and daughters. 5 So all the days of Adam that he lived amounted to nine hundred and thirty years and he died.
