Do you think the whole 'Adam and Eve' thing is true?

Question

If Adam and Eve were the first and only humans on Earth, how did all the different races come about?

Answer 1

Good question.......I asked how did Adam and Eve have two sons and carry on the human race. Was it incest? i have no idea.

We have this idea that Adam and Eve were white (seen in pictures) but who really knows what race they were or if they truly existed. I was told that the bible is theory and it is symbolic not to be taken literal. So take it for the "story" book it is.

Answer 2

I dont think Adam and Eve is true. But an interesting thing is that scientists have determined that the human race almost went extinct twenty thousand years ago (20,000). There were only ten thousand of us still alive on the planet and we are the decendants of those survivors. The different races came about because people tend to adapt to the environments that they live in. If you wanted a Biblical answer, maybe the Tower of Babel could have something to do with the many races.

Answer 3

Remember, the Scriptures aren't the full story. They are the part of the story that God chooses to tell us, which he sees as relevant for our basic understanding of where we stand with him. No book could contain a complete history of the world, or it's creation. Adam and Eve were created first, and the Scriptures only tell us about this family. Yet when Cain is sent off to wander, the Scriptures say that there were already other communities present. How do we explain this except to say that we don't have all the details?

What God wants us to know is that humanity was created perfect, and by their own will they rebelled, and severed our relationship with God. The rest of the Scripture shows us how God worked to restore that relationship.

Answer 4

We do comprehend that using sin of Adam, people are 'damaged". We do comprehend that from the households that got here out of the ark, interior of a pair generations, diverse family contributors features were exhibiting up as being dominate in a unmarried family contributors over yet another. And after the confusion of languages on the tower of Babel, this led to pooling of folk through the language they spoke. It led to households to flow out of the realm of the middle east to discover places to construct their lives with out the presence of those they couldn't comprehend. when you consider that this all befell after the sin of Adam, we may be able to really speculate that there might want to be no races if Adam and Eve had handed the try. there might want to be no damage, there might want to were no favor to flow to stay separated from others, and the gene pool might want to have remained nicely blended. customarily likely there might want to also be no bald adult males, no those with dwarfism, or more advantageous tall like Yao from China.

Answer 5

No. every priest and those who study theology knows about this. Adam and Eve are just representations of the humankind. It is actually a story of how humans commit sins, by disobeying God. The tree of knowledge is another representation of how humans were created with their own free will.

Answer 6

nope. adam and eve could produce all the different races, though. races developed through adaptation and natural selection. we all used to be black until people moved to different locations and climates and created their own cultures that valued certain characteristics. over time these factors led to the development of the large variety of peoples we are familiar with today

Answer 7

I believe any story has some grain of truth in it, and that what matters is realizing the message within the form of the story is the TRUE point of any tale...not the form itself.

There IS room for science and religion to live together quite naturally that way without sacrificing the principles of either, which I think is your real question.

Answer 8

Yes I do believe it is true.

I do study my bible, Matt.22:37-40; Jesus gave us the great commandnent. Gal.5:22,23; Is fruits of the spirit.

Adam to year of flood 1656 , Noah is in a fix,
At age 600, he has 350 years to year 2006,
Abraham at 75 in 2083, as the covenant is,
In 430 years as Moses has Pharoah at risk.

Gen.9:28,29[Noah 950]; 12:4; 15:13,16;
Exo.7:7[age 80]; 12:40,41[430 years];

In 40 years to 2553, is end of wilderness,
Judges rule in Promise Land Samuel is last,
Then king Saul, David, and 480 years does end,
Solomon builds a temple, had 36 years to reign.

Deut.34:7; 1Ki.6:1; 1Ki.11:42[Solomon dies];

So he died 3069 and 18 kings are onto Babylon,
To end 391 years at 3460 after Eden and Adam,
Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel write it down,
Daniel give 2520 to 5980 after Adam, till Satan's is down,
92 years ago Satan was earth bound.

5980 + 92 = 6072, 2520 + 92 = 2612. 1914 + 92 = 2006 CE.

In Satan's short time[58 year to go], God's word gets around,
Matt.24:3,14,15,22,36-38
[only god knows the day and hour;
We're into last days, Michael's is now most renown,
Rev.12:7-12; Dan.12:1-13;
The Pit is open, at this time, the sealed of God are found,
Rev.9:1-5[5x 30 = 150];
As raised up at last day, John 6:44; Elect are heaven bound,
1Thes.4:15-17;
Mark 13:27;
Prophecy? Dan.7:25[8:12-14[2300]; 12:1-7[2500];
Jude 9; Michael stands up, 8-10[2520 Satan's put down Rom.16:20[apostles expected Satan to be down
],
Dan.11:11[2x 1290 =] 2580, 12:12[2x 1335 =] 2670]; ?

Here is where the bible time line Eden to Jesus reign is found.

Rev,20:1-6[1000 year reign, with redeemed Rev.14:1-7];

Satan has 6,130 years from Eden, this world he is in will end,
All is made as perfect as it was before sin entered in back then,
And we will all be Gods perfect children and his perfect family.

Answer 9

They were the first ones. Many came after them. Most races, cultures etc are a result from the location in which they live. Example. Africans adapted to the environment. They became dark skined and had many changes to adapt to the climate & conditions. Remember that nature does evolve and adapt to its surroundings. You really need to study the bible, talk with a good Bible based minister and pray. You are withering in faith, you may loose your way or mislead others, who are not strong in faith by your skepticism.

Answer 10

No, I don't think it's true. If all of that inbreeding had really happened there wouldn't be a person on Earth without severe mental and/or physical handicaps.
