I have a question about the development of Human Beings. Science explains that Human Beings came about through the process of Evolution while Islam and Christianity explains that Humans came from Adam and Eve. In both Islam and Christianity Humans have descented from Adam and Eve, because they both were the first ever Human Beings in Earth to be created by God. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)
Here is my question:
It's a clear scientific evidence that if a man were to marry his blood sister, the child will have birth defects or genetic disorder due to the mixing of the same gene.
If Adam and Eve were the first Human Beings of the world and we descented from them, then that means that the first set of children of Adam and Eve would've had to mate one another in order for them to give birth to the next generation. That being said, the life span of Human Beings would not only be shorter, but the chances of getting a genetic disorder would be increased a great amount due to the take over of the dominant gene that carries the disease. With the ongoing shortage of lifespan, Humans wouldn't have survived as long as we have.
However, that doesnt seem to be the case today. Though in some parts of the world people still marry and mate with the same blood siblings, for the most part, we are free of the genetic disorder today which I described above because the same blood mating is great taboo.
Also I believe in Islam, it's taboo to marry your own blood sibling for religious reasons. I'm not 100% sure about it, but I'm most certain it is.
So I'm just wondering, with the scientific evidence excluding the existence of Adam and Eve, because of the reasons I stated above, and also perhaps with Islam forbidding the mating of the same blood, how does Islam explain the concept of Human descendence?
Thank You in advance
