Angel Heart did it first.


True story.

Actually Sophocles did it first.

Actually if you are religious then follow me. You have Adam and Eve , man and wife. They produce Cain and Abel. Cain kill's Abel. Adam and Eve never have any more children. Yet the world becomes populated. Cain and Eve did it first. The first case of Catholic church sponsored incest on record.

Your statement is incorrect. In fact the Bible says that Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters. So Cain could have married a sister or a niece. Naturaly, according to the biblical story, this initial sibling incest would be required, but this would not be necessary between parents and children.

Oh gee, well that's ok then.

Actually the Bible mentions that there were "other people" around at the same time as Adam & Eve, but never specify how many or who they were. But there seem to be hundreds if not thousands of people...you can't take the words in the Bible literally because they are not literally the words that were written in the first version to begin with. Things have been lost in translation & even deleted over time. And there's nothing literal about it after King James had it altered, which happens to be the version most commonly used in this day & age. If you want to take it literally then you should have a first edition & be 100% fluent in old Hebrew, Greek & Latin.

I'm not Christian & I really don't even care if the Bible suggests incest if it really does, but I don't think it is. People assume so because it fails to mention Adam & Eve's first daughters, other children, or specify who the other people were outside of Eden. Genesis does mention several times that there were creatures/dinosaurs made & "men to take care of them" before the time of Eden, though, and also mentions that men roamed the earth before rain fell for farming (suggesting hunter-gatherers). On the other hand, it never actually specifies that Adam & Eve's children engaged in incest, or mentions incest at all. It just doesn't provide any information as to who Cain's wife was or where any of their children got their spouses from.

I can't understand your crazy moon language.

What about Oedipus?
