Atheists' Favorite Bible Trap Just Backfired Spectacularly

From Totus Catholica


4.5 million people reached by one meme. Adam, Eve, two sons, Cain takes a wife from nowhere. Every comment saying the same thing: this destroys Christianity. But the meme refuses to quote Genesis 5:4. Adam had other sons and daughters. One chapter later, scripture answers the question the atheist comment section never reads. The Talmud in Sanhedrin 58b states it plainly: in the first generation, brothers married sisters. The rabbis call it chessed, covenant kindness, the same chessed that builds the new covenant in Christ. St. Augustine in The City of God, book 15, chapter 16, is not embarrassed by the question. He calmly distinguishes two layers of moral law: one rooted in nature itself, one rooted in a positive command given later, once the human family had grown large enough for the prohibition to apply. Catholic moral theology agrees. Parent-child relations are intrinsically evil. Sibling relations are forbidden by positive law calibrated to a society that already exists. Thomas Aquinas says the same in the Supplement to the Summa, question 54, article 3. And as an animal health scientist, I can tell you: a foundation population without accumulated mutational load faces a vastly lower risk profile. The genetics confirm the story, they do not destroy it.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
