If we all came from Adam and Eve, how do you explain...?

Question

The different races. Black, Asian, whites etc. could not have come from this one source

I'm not trying to make sense of this. I don't believe this, but it's taught in the bible. If people do truly believe this, I'm just wondering how they explain it.

and no I'm not gonna read the bible thanks very much

Answer 1

They can't answer because then they'd have to mention "evolution", but evolution's not supposed to be true...


You just asked this to see fundie heads blow up, didn't you? Naughty girl...

Answer 2

O.k well the rev is right, read the bible. Yes Adam and Eve were the first man and woman, however it doesn't say that they were the only people that he created. God wouldn't make such a big planet for two people now would he? As for all the different mixes of people in the world, variety is the spice of life! God gave us a beautiful rainbow of people across the world, it's just a shame that some people can't see it. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

If we all come from Adam and Eve of course evolution would have to be mentioned if we turn out to be different colours. The problem with Darwin and Darwin's Evolution Theory is that Darwin got it all wrong. There are evolutionary changes that even a 5 yr old can put their finger on(Like if you stay in the sun too long you will get brown), but to say we were all apes and before that, stingrays is a bit out!

Answer 4

For each generation and each country each person had to adjust to climate, surroundings, and to each other?! That would be my guess. Why are there so many types of dogs, cats, spiders, snakes, birds? They each started somehow and they each came from species at one time. As time and evolution progressed each species progressed with time. Every person has got an opinion. True that there is not a lot of proof to back each up. But, the oldest and the most believeable "story" heard of came from the oldest and most trusted book, The Holy Bible.

Answer 5

If you are a bible literalist then we absolutely did, but I am not, I believe it is symbolic. Simply put the story of Adam and Eve says that we were created by God and shows that we are all related in one way- original sin. Then again maybe we all are inbreds and we aren't quite as pure as we like to think...

Answer 6

After the flood the people attempted to build a city, and a tower whose top would reach unto heaven. God confounded their language and thereby frustrated their designs (Genesis 11:1-9).



11:1
Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
11:2
As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
11:3
They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.
11:4
Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth."
11:5
But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building.
11:6
The Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
11:7
Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."
11:8
So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
11:9
That is why it was called Babel--because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Answer 7

There could be a host of different theories that still support Creationism on this one, but the overriding issue is that we don't try to explain it. Just because God lets us in on some of His secrets, doesn't mean to say we're permitted to conject with the snapshot of truth we're given. There is likely a lot more to the overall picture that God isn't willing to reveal for His own reasons. So, until God gives us a more complete picture, we have to practice that one thing that humans hate, yet can't live without in any situation.... faith! We don't question gravity, right? There's as yet no rational explanation for it. But we rely upon it and believe it functions according to mathematical laws.

Answer 8

thats already been explained theyve already take like 20 ppl of all races and such and did a deep Dna scan and it came out all those ppl were related. by blood in some way but the blood went so far ud not see a big differnce, also if you do researcxh youll find that soon as the kids and ppl started pumpin. they all were told to go- to differ places because God said he would give everyone differ languages and putthem in differ places and it is prooven if you stay in long enough area your skin will change like ppl at florida their bodys change to the envirment seruiusly your question has already been prooven that we 0probly did come from adam and eve

Answer 9

Don't expect to get a straight answer on this one. Your conclusion assumes the premise that we all came from Adam and Eve. I don't believe that, so it's very easy for me to explain the different races. As soon as people stop accepting stories as fact, things get a lot clearer.

Answer 10

Although adam and eve are part of a symbolic creation myth, the truth seems to be that modern humans are descendants of a single woman which is extremely interesting (scientists have dubbed her 'mitochondrial eve', for the mitochondria line passed on by mothers). I mean, why the heck did the other hominids and their offspring result in a dead-end in terms of their genetic line?

Answer 11

Anthropologists found the oldest mummified remains in the sands of the Eithopia. Two adults and a child. Carbon dating found that the remains were the oldest ever discovered, 0ver 150,000 years old, they are believed to be our earliest relatives.
The different colors and bone structure are the natural evolution of humans adjusting to climate, food, and living conditions as they migrated out of Africa. We are one people.
