	These people were not guilty of incest, because God
	had not yet listed incest as a sin. (The same goes for a number of
	liasons later in B'reshit (Genesis)).  After all, how were they to
	know it was wrong if no-one told them?

Was murder listed as a sin at that time?  If not why was Cain
outcast for slaying his brother?  I hope this version agrees
the Talmud.  I guess murder was generally recognized as a sin.
