if there were only adam and eve then why?

Question

then why are there so many different races with different colors and since they were both white they couldnt reproduce mixed races now could they?!!!

so i guess the human race is the race of bastards because the only way for adam and eve's kids to reproduce is either having sex with their own mom and dad or having sex with brother or sister.

Answer 1

Science has shown that we look different based on where we live. Do you no get enough sun light you have pale skin. More sun the darker your skin based on how much vitamin D you need. If you have more sun your eyes would he darker to. Less sun light the lighter your eyes so that you would let more light in for better sight. Also the eyes would form differently based on light. and wind. If the area was bright and or windy then the eyes would not open that much and there fore they are what we now call slanted.

These are just a few of our differences and why.

Answer 2

The Bible does not say what color skin Adam and Eve had.

Heredity in Humans by Amram Scheinfeld pg 238 says: "Science now corroborates what most great religions have long been preaching: Human beings of all races are... descended from the first man."

The Races of Mankind by Ruth Benedict and Gene Weltfish pg 3 says: "that all peoples of the earth are a single family and have a common orgin."

Acts 17:26 says: "God made out of one man every nation of men, to dwell upon the surface of the ground."

So, regardless of what races make up a nation, they all come from Adam and Eve.

Early in human history, when a group of people were isolated from others and married within the group, certain distinctive combinations of genetic traits were emphasized in their offspring.

Heredity and Human Life, New York, 1963, H. L. Carson, pp. 151, 154, 162, 163 says: "A race is simply one of the partially isolated

gene pools into which the human species came to be divided

during and following its early geographical spread. Roughly one

race has developed on each of the five major continental areas

of the earth. . . . Man did indeed diverge genetically during this

phase of history and we can measure and study the results of

this divergence in what remains today of the old geographical

races. As we would expect, divergence appears to be correlated

with the degree of isolation. . . . When race formation took place

on the continents, with the bottlenecking of thousands of

populations in isolated gene pools all over the world, the gene-

frequency differences we now see were established. . . . The

paradox which faces us is that each group of humans appears to

be externally different yet underneath these differences there is

fundamental similarity."

All humans have the same first ancestor. Which means we are all related.

Answer 3

Gen 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad, from thence, upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

Ok, this verse just shows you how eveyone got all over the different parts of the world so where do the different races and color come into this? Well, you could look at it in a scientific way of adaptation. Man changes to survive in their surroundings, which could possibly be why there are different color in skin as is the same with how diff races look. I feel God had a plan and he made people on this planet the way he saw fit for a reason.

Answer 4

Technically, without science, this question is unanswerable. Races and ethinc groups arise form environmental factors, such as temperature/climate, types of food available, and living conditions. For example, skin tones are darker in hotter areas to protect from harsher UV rays. Asians tend to be smaller because in early Asia, there was little meat, but plenty of rice and plants (which lack protein, which is essential for growing large). Some argue that this process of natural selection occurs in even recent times. One sociologist postulated that African-Americans were/are generally more athletic than other ethnic groups, because the natural selection associated with slavery promoted the proliferation of stronger individuals over weak ones. Similarly, studies show that the Jewish ethnic group scores the highest on average on IQ tests, because in the middle ages merchants and other intellectual groups were favored, and those who were smart and/or more successful at these tasks had more children (and Jews often interbred). Natural selection and environmental factors change everything. Also, Adam and Eve are just metaphors for evolution. Sorry biblephiles =D

Answer 5

Sure, Genesis says that Adam and Eve were the first, but there were others after wards. if not then there would have been incest committed by a lot of people in the bible. The bible doesn't explain about the wives and the cities that were started by the sons of Adam and Eve. There is many things that the bible doesn't explain. We are always going to wonder about these things because they are perplexing to the mind.

Answer 6

So many different races? There are only three races, white, yellow and black. We know the black race are the descendants of Cain. The different languages came about when God made all the people to speak different languages so the couldn't understand each other to continue working on the tower a babel.

Answer 7

Also Cain and his children were cursed or given a 'mark'. I also believe many other groups of people were cursed for not following the commandments of God. Cursings could come in many forms, more hair, dark skin, light skin(can you imagine getting sun burned everytime you work outside now thats a curse). But it also has to do with environment and stuff. I mean if you believe in evolution how is it possible for all life to come from a single cell organism. I find that harder to believe than beleiving different races could come from Adam and Eve.

Answer 8

Over many generations people adapted to different enviorments which effected their gene pool creating many races. Their was alot of inter marrying and relations between brothers and sisters because the blood was pure and God allowed it to populate the Earth. Remember it was century upon century that produced different features and traits to bring about what we now have in our modern world. Also people lived a great duration of time according to the Bible, In some cases over 500 years. Evolution has nothing to do with it, its about adaptation that changed peoples skin color and other features.

Answer 9

Little do we know that the first divorce came before God cloned eve from a cell from adam. think of it, two thousand yeas ago we did not know of the human cell, so the bible had to be figurative and even for the great deluge of five thousand years ago, there is a recurring story just like Noahs ark for every continent, only one thing, not all of them were documented. and the bible didn't say much about Adam and Eve's siblings

Answer 10

Who says Adam and Eve were white? In the garden, even if it was so perfect they couldn't sunburn, with so little clothes I doubt they were without a healthy tan. Seriously, though, people over the generations must have adapted to their environments. And the important thing is that God created us as perfect possibilities, we questioned that and tried in vain to find "better," but He loves us anyway. Celebrate the colors:)
