No, but if they had children, then the only way for the population to carry on is for their children to reproduce.

Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden, and there was no mention that they were the only humans on Earth, just they were created first.

Contradiction I think so.

If you actually had any depth towards your knowledge of the situation, other than your arrogant personal opinions, you would perhaps be aware that the Catholic Church recognises that the story of Adam and Eve should be taken on story level at that basis. Many Catholics (including high priests) actually don't take every story in the bible for face value or that each one physically happened in time - many are metaphorical stories and tales that portray a meaningful message in one way or another - with Adam and Eve being just that.

They had 2 kids, Kain & Able.
But Kain killed Able so...
Anyway Adam & Eve is just a way of putting the creation story into words that thickos will understand.

Is incest okay?

No, incest is not okay. Incest is the sexual relations between family members either by birth or marriage. God has forbidden this in the Bible.
- Lev. 20:11-12, "If there is a man who lies with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death, their bloodguiltiness is upon them. 12 If there is a man who lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed incest, their bloodguiltiness is upon them."
- Lev. 20:19-21, "You shall also not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister or of your father's sister, for such a one has made naked his blood relative; they shall bear their guilt. 20 If there is a man who lies with his uncle's wife he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness; they shall bear their sin. They shall die childless. 21 If there is a man who takes his brother's wife, it is abhorrent; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness. They shall be childless."
But some may point out that Adam and Eve had children and since there were no other people around, their children would have had to commit incest in order to produce more children. At the time of creation, the genetic line was pure. It wasn't until later, at the time of Moses, that incest was then forbidden as the genetic pool became less and less able to stand interbreeding. "No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD," (Lev. 18:6)

God, you really need to grow up and realise that not every word in the bible is set for in stone and has to be taken literally.

As I have made perfectly clear already many catholic officials believe that the majority of - and in particular the story of adam and eve - are not to be taken on a literal basis, but more on a metaphorical one.

You clearly are still failing to comprehend this very simple and competent issue.
