Even leaving aside the necessary post-flood Noah-family incest to repopulate the world, if the wives of Noah's sons weren't also their sisters, they must have come from other families, which suggests not everyone else was inherently and incurably evil.
But maybe that's falsely trying to apply logic to a biblical fairy tale.
To be fair, that one's child's play compared to finding wives for the sons of Adam and Eve. Logic don't belong in this book, it spoils nearly every plot within.
Sodom and Gomorrah, full of sinful gays and other generally sinful deeds and generally unworthy who could only be sorted out by a good dose of wanton death? Man made in God's image anyone? Go on, jog on logic, you got no place in this book I tell ya!
Trying to make sense of this bad mythology has warped quite a few brains over history. Possibly the most florid case being Lanz von Liebenfels, and his Theozoology. This example is particularly Pythonesque, if you don't mind soiling yourself with exposure to rampant racism as part of the ride.
