Prostitutes and Polygamists

This book brings a smile to my face. The author has an amazing sense of humor - I was laughing so much sometimes that I couldn't speak clearly when asked what was funny! He makes some really good points. One area that should have got more thought though was on the subject of incest and his preference for the idea that God made multiple people from dust or ribs or whatever - negating the clear statement of the Bible that sin came through One Man and that Eve was the mother of All. He says that the Bible is clearly against the idea of Cain marrying his sister, but the law against siblings marrying came more than a thousand years later. We know that people have copying errors in their genetics after thousands of generations and the likelihood of the same mistake in siblings is high - hence the prohibition of marrying and harming their child. But Adam and Eve had perfect genetics and there would be no reason why their many children could not marry each other. (Since the story of the first murder only concerns Cain & Abel, all of the other children were not initially mentioned. We do that all the time - today I told a friend about my mother's siblings who all went by their second name like she did, but I didn't bother mentioning the 4 others who did not. My friend may think she only had 2 not 6 siblings. )\\nThere may be a few other parts where I disagreed but on the whole, this is a good book which helps us to deal with difficult parts of the scriptures. Glad I bought it.
