Why don't we all look alike?

Question

God created Adam. Then God created Eve from Adam's rib. That would (other than gender), make her a clone, wouldn't it? At the very least, she would have the same DNA. So...if all humans came from Adam and Eve, we would all have the same DNA, and would all look alike?

If you believe everyone came from Adam and Eve, yet you see that we do NOT all look alike, aren't you admitting that there is proof of evolution right in front of you?

If you see this, and still say there's no proof of evolution, are you saying you think there's no such thing as DNA?

One last question...if God just decided that people were going to look different, and that's that....WHY? Why wouldn't he want us all to look like his perfect creation, an image of himself?

Namsaey...actually a cookbook is a GREAT way to learn about chemistry. What happens when you apply heat to things...why you mix things together and come up with something totally different...what baking soda does, why your recipe fails if you don't use it =)

Answer 1

This is a scientific question. This is the Religion & Spirituality category. While there may be great answers to your question, the majority of people here wouldn't know any.

But hey, it's your goal to stump religious folk and try to prove them idiots and fools. Don't let me stop you.

Answer 2

Look at your brother or sister. Do they look like you? They came from the same DNA pool as you did, right?

Even though science has supposedly mapped the human genome, DNA is still unimaginably complex. We know of dominant and recessive genes, and that there are many of these pairs -- many times many. If you take just two of these dominant/recessive pairs and can get 4 different combinations, how many variations do you think you would get from the millions of pairs that make up the human genome? The number is almost unfathomable.

Besides that, when God "cloned" Adam to make Eve, he obviously changed the sex gene, what else might he have changed?

Our understanding of genetics is really still only infantile. How the various genes combine, group and interact is still way beyond us. And your question then becomes moot.

To answer you last question, what is his perfect creation? Look at ALL his creation. The universe is FULL of variety! If your concept of 'perfect' is a single shape, it is obviously not God's concept -- perfection can come in many shapes and sizes.

Answer 3

Eve could never be a clon because would be a male also. Remember Cloning have the same DNA, so you just begin wrong! Yes it say he took a rib, but what method he use? Still science don't know, but maybe soon it will...And why evolution can be on hand with God? It is know that all humans been comes from a same gene. Mutations occurs in nature, also people like many other forms of life, to survive, may adapt to different types of environments.
The Bible say God took 6 days to create what is in Earth; he didn't all at the same time....he let natures take the way...
Who say is no DNA, God creates the DNA and all that is in Earth..
And like I always say; if you prefer to think you come form a monkey, is okey with me...a prefer to think I came from God!
\and yes God creates us like him, but we went out to another conditions, and we change. And if all of us were alike, how can we know who is who?
Have a nice day!

Answer 4

It's obvious that God likes a variety. You know, not all flowers of a specific type are the same color, this will even occur on flowers growing on the same bush. Did you know that I'm a white female and I have a hispanic husband, yet my children both look hispanic? Yet I also have a friend who is also a white female married to a hispanic man and all of her kids have her white skin and blue eyes. Does this mean I am not the mother of my children, or that my friend's husband is not the father of her children?
Adam could have been a black man and Eve a white woman for all we know. It's not like there were camara's back then.
In recent years, scientists have researched human genes extensively. By comparing human genetic patterns around the earth, they found clear evidence that all humans have a common ancestor, a source of the DNA of all people who have ever lived, including each of us. In 1988, Newsweek magazine presented those findings in a report entitled “The Search for Adam and Eve.” Those studies were based on a type of mitochondrial DNA, genetic material passed on only by the female. Reports in 1995 about research on male DNA point to the same conclusion—that “there was an ancestral ‘Adam,’ whose genetic material on the [Y] chromosome is common to every man now on earth,” as Time magazine put it.

Answer 5

It's just a myth, and the authors had no idea about the scientific implications of what they were writing. They were just trying to take credit for the creation of new life away from women. Think about it: a male god creates the first human (a man), and then the first woman is actually taken out of the first man (painlessly), and only after stupid, deceitful Eve screws everything up forever do women get the risk and extraordinary pain of pregnancy and childbirth as a PUNISHMENT.

And women still aren't creating life, because a male God puts the embryo in the woman (opening her womb and whatnot) and children are considered the children of the father (which is why fathers do the begat-ing, versus the mothers who actually, you know, make the baby).

Answer 6

Very good question! I am sure some religious Christian fools would have shown contempt to your question. You just exposed another Biblical stupidity.

Actual creation: From Matter and Energy some say. While some claim as they are the same. Well, very logical approach but needs more work

My conclusion: We have not been created at all; everything around us is an illusion so are you and me.

Truth is the whole universe is still in equilibrium.

Answer 7

Why are you using the Bible as a science book? Would you use a cook book to learn about chemistry?

*LOL* You don't like the Bible's story of creation. Where's your theory? The Big Bang? Where did the bang come from? What was before the bang? What caused the bang? What was the purpose of the bang?

Answer 8

I believe that science and religion go hand in hand. I am not sure why a lot of christians disagree with me but they do. Science has even found the one gene that all humans (of every race) share that prove we came from the same parents. Also, my personal opinion on being created in His image was that our bodies were not created to look like God, it was our souls. I hope this helps with your questions.

Answer 9

Adam and Eve as a married couple represented the Most Ancient Church.

Answer 10

It's really simple - all ugly people look alike no matter what race! "Beauty is only skin-deep, but ugliness is to the bone!" - Bob Hope

Answer 11

what are you talking about. why would we all look the same that may be the most retared thing ever. would you want to look like everyone else in the world. If god wanted people ion his perfect image, then he would of already put them in heaven and no need for earth.
