Why are you so obsessed with this story about Lot?
You will find that the following short article (written by a Muslim) answers most of your questions:
Lot and his Daughters - by AbdulraHman Lomax
Here are a few short excerpts:
Quote:The subject story does not betray any fault on the part of Lot...
I write in this topic because I find it offensive for Muslims to attempt to blacken the reputation of the Bible...
Alcohol was not fobidden in Lot's time; and we also do not know what Allah had revealed regarding what we now call incest...
If the man were conscious, we would call it incest. But if a daughter were to do something like this today, we would not call it incest...
As I see it, the ignominy of this story is mostly based in a projection of Qur'anic law backwards onto what came before. Lot committed no sin; perhaps the daughters were *also* free of sin, unless we can establish that they had been forbidden to conceive children by their father; we already know that alcohol was not forbidden until much later...
