The claim is that harmful recessives hadn't entered the gene pool yet,
so there was nothing that made incest a particularly bad idea. This
claim makes sense, actually... if you've already accepted the rest of
the ludicrous story, of course.

Of course, if humans were created genetically perfect, it does raise the
question of how we ended up with so many harmful recessives just 6000
years later. Must have been the devil.

Hey, this is sort of fun. Maybe I should renounce my atheist ways,
become a creationist, write a book, and make lots of money.
