If you look at genesis, "god" wanted us to stay away from science, or knowledge of how things work, or whatever the "tree of knowledge" is/was... (DNA?). According to the texts which are thousands of years old, he/she/it/they were afraid of us figuring it out and becoming immortal. (something that is definitely plausible with our modern understanding of DNA no?)
Anyway... It doesn't seem that god was really down with us figuring out this magic.
Iit also doesn't seem like all the words of god from the different books are coming from the same god.
I read something about the inbreeding thing you mentioned though... (and no it wasn't at kissingcousins.com
)...... I can't remember what it was, but they posed a good argument for why it would have been OK to inbreed back in those days. Cleaner gene pool or something?
Remember, those guys were sort of sub-human back then too... ie Noah living hundreds of years. Humans, V1.0b
