The garden of Eden is said to be somewere in Africa but it doesnt say were it is in the Bible anyway...

The people of the world tried to make a massive tower that reached to the sky so they were better than God (I think)

But God got angry and separated their languages and cultures and apparently their skin colour to

That's a good question for someone who doesn't know anything about anything. If Adam and Eve existed, they would have lived at least 300k years ago. People in different areas can change a lot in that time. (duh).

The only other possibility is that the world is only 6k years old. That's a common opinion by religious yahoos (no pun intended), but the evidence it is so overwhelming you have to be a moron to consider it a possibility.

We do not know what the skin shade of Adam and Eve was. But we get a picture of different skin tones with Noah's three sons. Ham was one son, and Ham means BLACK. Japheth was another, and his name means brightness. Shem is the other, and his decenednts are the "Semeitc" peoples such as syrians, arabs, etc. Japheth's sons migrated to Europe. The sons of Ham migrated to the south, one of which was the Egyptians' forefather. Experts say that dark skin is a dominant gene, and light skin and blonde hair and blue eyes are all recessive traits. So we can speculate that Noah had shaded skin because a dark skinned man can have light skinned children, but not vise versa.

Who says they are white? Seems that they would probably be more like the Middle Eastern People. The Garden of Eden was probably located in Iraq or Iran. The bible mentions the waters surrounding the area of the Garden. Those waters are still there.

They werent "white" they were probably near brown, like Arabs are. Being in the tropics,(in Iraq we place the Garden of Eden), then they would have been more tan or brown.

Its speculated that at the Tower of Babel, when the LORD mixed up the language, we "think" that is when the skin tones were changed too...

But, we can never be sure...

I wish you well..

Adam and Eve were white indeed. They were also perfect and were fully in touch with God and of his Glory. After the fall, every thing got turned up. God cursed the Earth because of Adam's sin. From there on, corruption began and all kind of people black, yellow, red ....were in sin conceived and in corrupted bodies lived their life........

personally i dont beleive u can take the story of adam and eve literally, catholicism says its an allegory that shows how ppl chose sin over God.

but if u want to look literally, then they could have been black or tan, it doesnt say thier color. maybe the best explanation was the guy above me who referred to the tower to babel, where God changed the langugages and maybe skin color too.

Adam and Eve were what we call albino. They were white because the were born from space explorers from a dark planet with little sun. THEY HAD RUBY RED EYES BECAUSE THEIR EYES WERE INFRARED SO THEY COULD SEE IN DARKENESS.
Revelation 1:14 tells about their decendants.

Adam and Eve would probably be black for the sheer reason that most anthropologists state that man started in Africa.
