They had more than three children, but your point remains. Assuming you believe what scripture says, we are all descended from brothers and sisters being husbands and wives to each other.People are too concerned about incest. If you know the bible, you will know that Adam and Eve had 2 sons and 1 daughter.
As far as the DNA stats go, however, those are only valid in the current gene pool. Any "closed" genetic pool will lose diversity over time. This is why there is less and less genetic variation within a given species. That is not to say that unusual combinations cannot occur within a "closed" pool, but the odds are astronomical. For that reason, it is highly unusual for parents from a particular ethnic group to have a child who has the physical characteristics of a different ethnic group. (e.g. white child to black parents or black child to white parents) Even with around 7.8 billion people on the planet, both parents having the requisite combination of genes to pull that off is a rare occurrence indeed. (I know only of four instances of it.)
