When Adam was first created his DNA was perfect there was no incest back then.
Are you completely certain about this statement? Beside the fact that you haven't defined what "perfect" DNA would be (i.e., does this mean there were no introns, etc and that all DNA base pairs coded for proteins? Does this also apply to RNA?), there's also the question of the origin of Eve. If the Genesis account is correct and Eve was made from some part of Adam (parthenogenesis or cloning?), then they would be even closer than brother and sister - they would be as close if not closer in consanguinity than identical twins. This implies that, in order to "begat" Cain and Able, Adam and Eve must have committed incest by definition since they were genetically identical, unless there was somebody else in the Garden that the Bible doesn't mention.
How to resolve this conundrum?
