#8 a fiver...except that was just the first part. Second part is, explain the apparent contradiction in traditional Christian teaching that we all descended from Adam and Eve and yet the church also teaches us that incest is wrong.

That's easy. Barney teaches that in his last song at the end of all his videos. You know the I love you song. Ha

Woohoo! I won! So many to thank...well, I'll start with the Academy, etc. etc.

Genesis 5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

Probably many children were born to Adam during his long life; the ancient quibble about “Cain’s wife” is easily resolved in terms of brother/sister marriages in the first generation. Close marriages are genetically dangerous today because of the accumulation of harmful mutations (a consequence of the Fall) in the human genetic system over many generations, and incest has been prohibited since Moses’ time (Leviticus 20:11-20). In the first few generations, including those after the Flood, marriages of near relatives were necessary in order for mankind to obey God’s command to “multiply” (Genesis 1:28; 9:1), and accumulated mutations were few.

^ What do I get?

#13 Sorry, I'm not buying it. If we're all descended from two people, we're all related. I'm probably married to my 13,432nd cousin.

We are all related. For a start, here's a wiki entry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_Eve .

If you and your wife are from the same general area of the globe (Europe, Africa, etc.), it's extremely likely that you are cousins within the last 20 generations. You need only share two common ancestors among the more than 1 million you each have (1 million being the instances, not individuals because your ancestors will have married their own nth cousins all over the place).

Some calculations have the most recent common ancestor for all living people being only 3000 years ago, if that's true, we are all at most about 150th cousins.

^ you incestuous ****!!
