If adam and eve were white how come we have colour ,chinesse,asian ect, people?

Answer 1

Races arise through natural evolution according to geography and climate. People have since the "dawn of man" migrated. Read your science and history books!

The "Garden of Eden" ("GOE") is by most archaeologists studying the issue thought to have been in the general region commonly known today as the Middle East, somewhere near the junction (roughly 6000 years ago) of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

Persons from that region are caucasoids (as opposed to either negroids or mongoloids).

Theories that the GOE was located elsewhere (for instance, in Florida) are not widely accepted. The "flaming sword" of the angel in the myth has led some to speculate that the GOE is not anymore, and perhaps never was, a terrestrial location. Again, such speculation is generally regarded as incredible.

We do not know whether, or by how much, the paths of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers have shifted, and we aren't certain regarding the location of the Pishon and Gihon rivers with which the GOE was associated.

Moreover, the current Tigris and Euphrates may have been named after distant ancient rivers that were either destroyed in a cataclysm or that were overtaken and renamed by conquering nomads; the refugees arriving in the locale of the current rivers naming them after the original rivers.

Proof beyond all doubt is an unreasonable standard for any archaeological work.

Although archaelogy is a recognized science, much (if not most) of its research relies on anecdotal evidence. It is this tool, critical to the science of archaeology, that those contesting the veracity of the myth most often wish to dismiss.

Had not the Royal Library of Alexandria been destroyed, we might today have been able to pinpoint where the proverbial couple ate, drank and did other things -- but like so much else, that is merely speculation.

Answer 2

I'm not going to support the waste of time on such a worthy subject since so many of the readers have only thrown you a few words. The question intimates that you have faith in God. That's good, because otherwise you are going out of your way to be offensive to any person who does believe in God.

With that assumption understood, I would have to believe you have gotten to this conclusion either through the Bible or the Torah- respectively, the Old Testament.

I recently had the privilege to view some remnants the Dead Sea Scrolls. I took advantage of this trip to purchase a direct translation from the oldest real form of the Bible that exists.

There is no reference to the color of the first man and woman in these pages.

Read the pages and prove me wrong... please. And while you are at it, strengthen your knowledge and love for the Lord without all the junk that other people can throw at you for believing in a logical conclusion for your the question of your existence.

CS Lewis started this argument as an atheist too.

Answer 3

Color of the skin is due to melanin, A dark brown coloring found in the body, especially in the skin and hair. Produced by special skin cells that are sensitive to sunlight, melanin protects the body by absorbing ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
The amount of melanin present in the skin determines the color of a person's complexion: people with a large amount have dark skin, whereas those with very little have fair skin. Melanin is also responsible for tanning.
The amount of melanin differs in people from different area's. If the children of adam & eve or the generations down moved in search for food and got exposed to different weather conditions, whats the big deal, they have different colors.

Answer 4

Adam means red. Some say this refers to his ability to blush red in the cheeks. Does it mean he is red like the indians or red like the irish? Who knows!

Yahueh in his word gives us clues but no any definate colors for people. for instance Kush the son of Ham means charred or char faced. We also know King Solomon wrote he was black and comely because of the sun.

The Bible is not a racist book and we have to look to archeology and history to make a case for the skin tones of people. It is not at all certain what color many of the people mentioned were accurately. It was not considered important!

The people mentioned in the Bible traveled among many nations and intermarried among them all so they must not have taken much notice to it either.

One of the prophets said You sinned nad didn't even blush about it, (my paraphrase). Moshe married a Kushite woman and Yahueh turned Mariam white with leprosy for speaking out against it for seven days . So I have a pretty good idea how Yahu'eh felt about racism or judging others by thier skin tones!

Answer 5

Why do people always have to "know" these things? Why can't we admit we don't know?! The fact is, unless any one of us here answering was there when earth was created, we have no idea. They could have been white and then God mixed the people up when they started fighting, or maybe they evolved, or maybe they were apes and we scientifically gained different hues and characteristics. Whatever the possibilities, nobody knows! So why can't anyone except me say, "Good question, I wish I knew that myself . ."

Answer 6

Who said they were white? Not the Bible.... dont know where you get your information. The Bible says God made Adam from the dust of the ground, that looks pretty brown to me. Dont assume that some painting really depict Bible teachings or Christians beliefs.

Answer 7

From what I have read Adam was Red. Adam in Hebrew means red earth. So he was as red as the clay he was made of.

Again, from what I have read Noah was white with blue eyes and blond hair, and his father didn't even think he was his child.

So who did we all originate from Adam or Noah? Noah did have son's who had wives, maybe they were of different races.

Answer 8

Obviously Adam and Eve didn't really exist.It makes no sense for two people of one color to create all the colors of the human spectrum.

Answer 9

I believe when Cain killed Abel, God cursed him with a mark upon his skin, a darker color. Cain obviously helped populate the earth and people moved around everywhere so different races/colors/whatever developed. We believe in the Book of Mormon, Lamanites were also given a "mark" on their skin, making them darker, hence the early Indians....

Answer 10

Who said they were white?

Either way, all those races from one couple?

I think they are a very shortened metaphor for the evolutionary process. Doesn't really make a diff. to me.
