If Adam and Eve were the same race........?

Question

why do we have black, white, asian, australoid, indian etc?

Suppose Adam and eve were both arabs how do we have so many races these days?

And if everyone in the world died during noahs flood (except noahs family) everyone must be related to noah. So shouldn't we all be the same race as noah was?

That was only supposed to have happened like 4 -6 thousand years ago right. A few thousand years isn't enough time for skin color to change; it would take around 100 thousand years.

Answer 1

cold and hot climates - my skin changes color after one day in the sun

Answer 2

It did take 100,000 years or so. Adam and Eve were created in Africa (not Arabia) (science has long proven that) and were, thus, black. Noah (74,000 years ago) was also from Africa and black. After Noah, humans began to spread north. In Africa, especially near the equator, the sun is very direct, and the dark skin is necessary to block out some of the UV rays, but because the sunlight is so direct, they can still absorb the necessary vitamin D from the sun. As humans moved further from the equator, the sun becomes less direct, UV radiation less of a threat, and vitamin D harder to absorb. With less UV radiation, the skin could get away with losing it's pigmentation to be able to absorb the necessary vitamin D. Thus, the white people are the real freaks with no skin pigment!!

Answer 3

The bible doesn't say instantly how the different races were formed. There are some theologians who've interpreted the scriptures and say that when God made guy on the sixth day he also created the different races. In different words Adam ought to were first yet God created others. in spite of the indisputable fact that we ought to also bear in mind that the flood did ensue and that Noah and his kin (8 entire) had to repopulate the earth. So no matter if God created the races pre-flood, they were wiped out by technique of the flood. properly some may say no. in case you study Gen 6:19, some may interpret that when God urged Noah to carry 2 of all living flesh, that blanketed the distinct races. I personal do not believe this. If we bypass to at least a million Peter 3:20, this scripture mentions only 8 human beings surviving the flood. those 8 human beings were Noah and his kin. So the races had to evolve from them by potential of migration and adapting to climates.

Answer 4

Adam and Eve had enough genetric variation in them to produce all the races we see now

were they the same skin color etc etc as eachother.... not necessarily... one could be a handsome dark color and the other a beutiful light color... they both could have been olive skinned

as an example take the eskimo and lapi landers.
Eskimo dark produce dark kids
Laplanders of Norway light produce light skinned kids
although they live in essenitally the same amount of light and environment as eachother.
100,000 years for now, Eskimo would still be still dark, laplanders still light they dont have the gentic variation anymore to change unless the Eskimo marries an laplander... then they would

Adam and Eve, whether they be different in skin and ete and other attibutes from eachother or olive skinned in any event had the genetic diversity within themselves to produce the races we see and 6000 years is enough time... the information was already there

another example....take sugar production in sugar beet ... selective cultivation improves for a time and then the genetric variation runs into a radstop because there is no further genetic variation

"For example, from 1800, plant breeders sought to increase the sugar content of the sugar beet. And they were very successful. Over some 75 years of selective breeding it was possible to increase the sugar content from 6% to 17%. But there the improvement stopped, and further selection did not increase the sugar content. Why? Because all of the genes for sugar production had been gathered into a single variety and no further increase was possible."

Answer 5

I think the old way that literal Creationists dealt with this issue was to posit that the "mark of Cain" - that which was set upon Cain after his little problem with Abel - was dark skin. Thus, all dark-skinned races are descended from Cain.

Which seems to me to just be racist.

I'd go with the theory that Adam & Eve were not actually created bodily by God, but was a traditional Jewish creation myth recorded in the Bible. God created all the preconditions for the evolution of Adams and Eves, but then let the natural laws that He created as well take their course.

Answer 6

in the Bible there's a story about the tower of Babel. God changes everyone's race and everyone starts speaking different languages and stuff. It's been a long time since I read that, so I forget the details...

Answer 7

You are trying to understand the ways of God using human logic---the Bible says that God does not think like we do. We think at the finite level, while God thinks on the infinite plane. I believe that population experts have proved that the world could reach its current population level based upon the procreative activity of just four couples. Concerning the races, here again God's hand is at work. As population increases it is necessary for groups of people to disperse in order to survive. Different climatic conditions and sources of food (all created by God) will influence skin coloring. Human genes do mutate, and God is in control of how and when these mutations occur. God is in control of everything---he has a very definite plan. Stop thinking in terms of time and space, as they mean nothing to God. He will fulfill his plan according to his agenda regardless of how we finite, fragile humans perceive it.

Answer 8

it calls Christain evolution and it's not comming from Adam and Eve. Great flood wiped every1 out except Noah and his family . So Christain evolution starts from 4500 years ago.
They beat any scientist on the speed of their own Christian evolution.

Answer 9

There is no Noah. There is no Adam and Eve. Christianity was created by an avid drug user named Jesus Christ who shared pot with a bunch of people so they would write something as stupid as the Bible.

Answer 10

Like the tower of babel where language was confounded, also men were given different color skins to identify tribes. This was done through God. Your right, no amount of time could really change the color of ones skin permanently, it is done by God.

Answer 11

The Tower of Babel and anyone that actually believes the bible is anything but pretty myths needs to consider the fact that the Romans and Greeks considered mythology to be factual.
