I'm no expert on Darwinian theory but it is difficult to argue against it even with some of its unanswered questions.
But your example of the biblical explanation being wrong because of incest is flawed.
Evolutionary theory would require incestual relations.
Mutated gene development, which led to species diversity, requires it as well as natural selection.
Humaniods, as well as all other species, didn't just pop up all over the planet at the same time.
They evolve in a particular area, through enviromental conditions and genentic mutation, until the species is established and spreads on its own.
In theory this is not unlike the biblical interpretation, except they didn't magically appear as developed humans.
Incestual relations did not become taboo until well after the full development of our species and societal needs to spread the gene pool.
Sorry for the misspellings, can't run spellcheck on my blackberry.
Point is we all came from the same parents if you go back far enough.
