Can someone please tell me where the idea that Adam & Eve were white started? Where is the proof, especially?

Veritas0223 ever heard of Hitler? Can you spell evil any other way? Oh yeah let's see David Karesh, Jim Jones shall I go og?

cj views appreciated however doesn't the bible describe people like Jesus for example as" having hair like wool?" Which full caucasian has hair like that? Many of the people of those times are also depicted as having that type of hair & in all fairness, many also were depicted around the same period as having completely white characetristics.

Answer 1

You're right!

Since they originated in Mesopotamia, most likely they had a brown complexion. (Genesis 2:13-14 names the rivers around the Garden of Eden--Tigris and Euphrates are both here.) Possibly much darker since they lived for hundreds of years....that's a lot of time to tan.

Most of the artists tend to portray Biblical characters and especially Jesus as being like themselves, to demonstrate his familiarity--being all things to all men. But, it is also likely that he had dark skin, too.

You get 100 thousand million points.

Answer 2

I`m no longer particular yet after Adam and Eve were given thrown out of Eden and had 2 sons.they look the purely ones on earth yet even as the older son killed the more youthful one he feld to a clean position and marry a lady there.i imagine God save particular issues contained in the bible hidden I don`t understand why.I continuously ask your self the position those persons come from? did God make extra human beings after Adam and Eve`s insurrection because he knew that they`ll die and are available to heaven later,so it wasn`t mandatory to have purely 2 human beings on earth?.when I heard of those persons it gave me a convenience about how different races got here about yet then the flood got here.Noah who's the desendent of Adam and Eve`s 3 son pontificate for over 100 years to maintain human beings from the flood.besides the undeniable fact that the persons who Cain joined some time previous were very undesirable.there have been the purely ones who did many sins.Giants got here from them too.Noah took his 3 sons and their different halves onto the ark.I don`t understand in the experience that they marry their family individuals yet all i understand is that once the flood their familys marry one yet another.Race didn`t exist decrease back them.purely clans.i trust that his little children diverse apperances made those so referred to as races.i guess there is purely one race, ''The human race''

Answer 3

They most certainly were white. Adam and Eve were said to be perfect, sinless, and good in every way - which means white. The other races could not have appeared until after Original Sin. Prime example? Westside's Icon. Follow that one around and tell me he has anything to do with perfection or Paradise!

Answer 4

Who knows, Adam and Eve may not even be real. I know that Adam means red earth in Hebrew, so maybe he was Indigenous, or Red.

However since everyone is always going there answer this.

What is the technical, official name for the race of middle eastern peoples? And I don't mean their nationality, language or religion. Don't just make one up, what is it?

Didn't we originally start with 4 races, white, black, Asian, and indigenous?

After that races have mixed and created more races like Hispanic, (white and indigenous mixed, of Latin descent) but the people in the middle East were one of the original races.

They don't appear to be black, or Asian, or Indigenous. They have plenty of body hair like Caucasians. It is my opinion that Middle Eastern and Jewish people are Caucasian. Over time their skin darkened or the westerns skin lightened since some live close to the desert and others do not. But maybe I am wrong.

Response to askers comment

I believe that the bible describes Jesus and God as having hair as white as wool and fiery eyes. Also in the book of Noah, Enoch describes Noah as having hair as white as wool and eyes of bright light that are so bright that they light up a room. In the book of Noah, Lamech, Noah's father goes to his father Methuselah (spell?), and asks him to go to his father who is Enoch and find out if his son (Noah), is one of the sons of god or watchers, or fallen angels as the bible describes in Genesis as the sons of god going into the daughters of men and taking all that they chose as wives and having children with them who were the Nephilm or giants in the bible because he is questioning the paternity of Noah. Then he questions his wife and makes her promise that Noah is really his child.

So I think that the hair white as wool, the white skin, and fiery eyes is a characteristic of higher beings and not necessarily of Adam and Eve.

Answer 5

As for genetics: white is not a dominant color. It would stand to reason that adam and eve were probably of a lighter skin color because of genetics.

People will argue that the garden of eden was probably in the middle east, however, no one knows for sure where this garden was.

Answer 6

They were formed out of clay, which is brown. I'd think that they would be the same color as what they were made out of.
Picturing them as white probably started in the dark ages in Europe, not so many people of color around then, so it would be natural for them to think of people the world over as being white.

Answer 7

There can be no solid physical proof of who the first humans (as we know them today) were or what they looked like, because no one alive today was there to see it happen. Everything we hear as "biblical fact" is no more than speculation brought on by hundreds of generations of mankind in an attempt to explain that which cannot be explained.

Answer 8

it has know been proven that life originated in sub saharan africa. if there was an adam and eve, they would have been jet black with kinky hair. adam & eve and even jesus had to be made to appear white or it would have ruined the whole idea of white supremacy... what european wants their salvation from a black or brown man?

Answer 9

Adam's and Eve's skin color is not a subject of great debate among Christians or Jews. It certainly is never discussed where I go to church, or by people I hang around with.

It's natural to ask about it, I guess, but their skin color is, for most people of faith, really a non-issue.

Answer 10

I do not know where they came up with this. It mainly distributes which nationality that you are in which you believe what color they are. Many cultures have different religion. A buddist believes something totally different than what a caucasion believes. Its up to you and what you believe in whether or not they are white, black, red, green, yellow. Like God says we are all his children no matter what color.
