1. What is your answer for someone who asks if there was incest between Adam and Eve's children in order for the human race to have started?

Well I guess technically yes- although it seems God might have made some more because cain is sent off and starts his own thing. Although incest is genetically a problem because of sin. Because Adam and Eve were created perfectly, for a few generations, it wouldn't have been an issue

Why are Christians so reluctant to say what they believe on a subject? Why do they always send people off to some Bible study? Why should people follow us when we can't give a reason for the faith we claim to have?

For sure we should be able to give a reason for the faith we have!

But having some set out bible studies that you agree with can be very useful, because someone has put all the verses you know you were just going to have to try and remember where they were down on paper for you making it much quicker to get prepared if you are going to give some1 a series of studies.

And if you come accross someone briefly and tell them some tidbits, but are likely not going to see them again you can say for more info check out ....x y or z.

In this case, because the OP specifically asked to be referred to sites with Bible studies.

technically, it WAS incest, but who else was there? And if you want to put it technically, we all commit incest when we take a mate. the thing is, now if you marry your sibling, it is looked down upon because it can cause a lot of bad mutations, not to mention that the thought of having kids with your relative is kinda gross these days. Back then, it was what they had to do, and there were no horrid mutations. And for reference, i like the way Doug Batchlor describes it, so I'll agree with tall73's post and point you to Amazing Facts.
