Who did Cain marry?

Well, since I have heard the argument that incest was ok in Adam and Eve's time...because the blood lines were considered pure. I wondered in Noah's time (when they had to repopulate the earth after the flood) If the blood lines would be considered pure for them...since there would obviously be some incest going on there.

I get that verses were in Moses time...did'd God's feelings about incest not apply in Noah's time?

Did that make sense?

The bloodlines wouldn't have been AS pure as with Adam & Eve, but they hadn't degraded to the point yet where the incest law would have been necessary.

What is a "pure" "bloodline"?

I want to know that as well. How was the 'bloodline' pure in those days? What do you mean by 'pure'?

I'm using the Vacuum's language, not my own.

I'm operating under the idea that he means the amount of mutations or malfunctioning genes (genetic diseases) that have crept into the human genome by that time.

LOL, I have no idea really.

less chance of giving birth to a hemophiliac!?!? But it's not like the people of that time would have known that.

And in fact, this ties in with one of AV's ideas - that Noah's ark was built in the northeast of America. Think about it. How far could the descendents of Adam and Eve have migrated until Noah's time? So, the garden of Eden must have been relatively nearby. I propose the garden of Eden was in Tennessee, and therefore, of course incest was OK.

I say New Jersey.
