If God created Adam and Eve..?

Question

Why did He not create hundreds or thousands of people for breeding purposes. We are all from a relationship of incest and inbreeding.

If evolution is not truth, where did all of the different races come from?

If all the races did not evolve from a single set of incestous ancestors, how do they explain all their desendants being from different races?



How does christianity explain this?

Answer 1

ask God yourself when you get there.

Answer 2

I'm not exactly sure how Christianity explains this and I'm even more sure they don't try. The problem with the story of Adam and Eve is that it doesn't say there weren't other people in existence at the time. What is does say is that "these 2" sinned in the Garden of Eden and that's what started this whole mess. I think the Bible is the Truth but I'm not necessarily sure it is suppose to be an accurate historical account of the beginnings of man. Instead, I think it is more of a starting point where all of our problems began. I am no expert on this but when reading the Bible of today, you must realize that man has rewritten it many times and often with their own agenda in mind. It would be wonderful to see the gospels and the prophets writings as they were when they were first written. I know I probably didn't answer your question the way you wanted but I thought I might add some potential insights you may not have considered.

Answer 3

Yup, God no longer purely created Adam and Steve, yet Madam and Eve. the two gay couples have been happy and obedient interior the backyard, yet devil tricked Madam and Steven into substitute right into a foul ventriloquist act and occurring the line to play the nightclubs interior the land of Nod, east of Eden. Distraught, Adam and Eve grew to become to one yet another, had hetero intercourse, and because cigarettes hadn't been invented yet, desperate to proportion particularly fruit for the time of after glow. something is his tale.

Answer 4

Within all of us are the genetic factors necessary to produce all of the different races. This is a scientific fact. When God confused the languages at the tower of Babel, the genetic markers in each group which were the strongest produced the differences.

Answer 5

Everyone has originally descended from Africa. If you look at a map of the world, you can see that they all have drifted apart from the whole. The term "race" is named so because of physical characteristics that have evolved living in certain parts of the world. The "ice" people have lighter skin and smaller noses to help them breath their air. The "wind" people have slanted eyes for their protection from the wind, along with flatter noses. The "sun" people have darker skin which keeps them protected from harmful sun rays. Religion is good; it keeps you whole. But religion has no explanations.

Answer 6

The bible does specifically discuss this, obviously.

It also does not specifically designate who Cain feared when god sent him away. At this point the Bible only speaks of Adam, Eve then their sons Abel and Cain. But when God punished Cain for killing Abel, Cain said, "...that every one that findeth me shall slay me"

Who was he talking about? Simply the bible doesn't tell us. In a sense, we are on a "need to know basis" and we "don't need to know".

Don't confuse the bible with a line by line history of the world. It is the word of God written for our salvation. Believe it or don't. The choice is yours.

Answer 7

You are thinking of all this from a modern perspective, which of course is understandable.

Incest was not taboo until God made it so. Those laws are recorded in the book of Leviticus. It wasn't even considered "incest", as we think of it now. It was just what it was. Of course from our point of view, we see it as rather disgusting. But until God made it so, it was not thought of that way.

Answer 8

I'll try to put this politely since I'm sure many of my well-meaning comrades won't...

You cannot put God "in a box"...what's to say that God didn't create evolution as part of His plan?...Plus, why do we always insist that God "had to" or "should have" done something else? Why didn't God create hundreds of thousands? Simple. He didn't want to.

Fair enough?

Answer 9

**** sapiens apparently did exist as well as other sub species of **** sapiens. The Genesis story pretty well parallels evolution theory. The time span does not, unless you consider that God’s “time” is not the same as we know it. His “days” should be considered as time periods (for lack of another description).

Thus God created this planet and its species, including **** sapiens, over 5 time periods. All “creatures” were created “AFTER ITS KIND” and able to “multiply” (procreate) and destined to die.

Then in the sixth time period Adam was created “AFTER OUR IMAGE”! Adam was created by himself. He was given “God’s spirit”. Gen. 2:7-9, 16&17. HE was created to live indefinitely within his special environment. That’s why it was fatal for him to eat from the “tree of knowledge of good and evil”. Gen. 2:17.

Eve was an afterthought so he would not be all by himself. Gen. 2:21,22

Meant to live indefinitely Adam and Eve did NOT NEED to procreate! They had no sense or ambition of sexuality. Gen. 2:25. They were not ashamed – innocent.

God gave them the power of choice, to obey his instructions or not.

After eating the forbidden fruit – also known as the “original sin” - they were sexually “activated” (Gen. 3:7-11 & 16) (they were ashamed!) and God had to change His plans for them. So Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden in order to KEEP THEM AWAY from the “tree of live” which could have sustained their life (and that of now possible offsprings) indefinitely - Gen. 3:22-24.

They were now condemned to live their life in the outside world and procreate like the “creatures” (Neanderthals & Co.) created before them. (Gen. 3:16) They now also were destined to die like them.

If all the future was fixed (and God would know all in advance) He would not have given us a choice. In that case we could not be blamed for anything. Everything would be preordained.

Of course THAT wouldn’t make any sense. We have ethics and morals and laws, all of which indicate our free will to do good or evil.

Answer 10

God got angry at the people and separated them to different parts of the world.From there they had to evolve to the climate,thus different skin color, facial looks. And gave them a different language to speak so they wouldn't commuicate.

Answer 11

I was told there were "sub-humans" outside of the garden of eden. Adam and Eve were the first humans with souls that he considered perfect and put his "stamp of approval" on. Lilith was Able's first wife?...She came from the outside races.
