If we are all decendants from the people in noah's ark, how is it that we have so many races?

Question

Maybe, just MAYBE, satan, i mean evolution, is the answer and it's all okay because its MICROEVOLUTION? Oh what a relief... WRONG! it can't be because we couldn't have evolved all these different traits (About 8 races) in 6k years. Lets say then that magically one of their kids evolved (mutated) by "chance" into an indian (thats a 1 in a billion chance of turning into another race without gradual middle steps like normal evolution has); how would this kid reproduce? This kid would be seen as ugly because the kid would be sooo different from everyone else; it would be like you having sex with a green person (to the people that had never seen an indian that's parallel). So natural selection would have eliminated this gene. And lets say natural selection DIDN'T get rid of this gene because the kid was some crazy rapist getting chicks pregnant, we would all be one hybrid species by now.

So how does your little bible justify the fact that we have so many races?

WHAT PART OF WE CAN'T EVOLVE INTO 8 DIFFERENT RACES IN A TIME FRAME OF 5,000 YEARS DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? EVEN EVOLVING INTO 2 RACES IN 5,000 YEARS IS IMPOSSIBLE.

Answer 1

They can make up reasons, but not very valid ones. Ever wonder, if we all descended from Adam & Eve, where did the Aborigines come from and how did they get to Australia when they didn't know that Australia existed? When I studied the History of Civilization, my professor said that all the races all came from the original black people of Africa. I asked, "Have you ever heard of a black family who over the generations became Chinese?" The problem is that the Bible was written by ancient ignorant people who also believed that the Earth was flat. And now when we find mistakes in the Bible (the word of God) they can only give us excuses.

Answer 2

Because noahs kids settled in different parts of the world. Wow... I just couldn't resist. That answer was, well, even more stupid than this hillbilly could come up with.

I'd love to know which one went north to make the Inuit people. One would have to really fight to rationalize evolution away when discussing how people can survive such climes without ill effect. While most of us can't stand to be outside when it's 30 degrees. And how did just a handful of kids, with wives, repopulate the entire world in such a short time? Have they ever really done the math for that one? Just from the approx time of Noah up to the end of the Old Test... *shakes head*

Answer 3

We don't know the colors of Noah's children.

Since we ALL came from the SEMITE region (North Africa) then we can look anything from Answar Sadat (who can almost pass for African Black) to Omar Sharif or David Hasselhoff (who pases for German, but is a Lebanese of Semite bloodlines).

After that, dominant and resseive Genes and geological differences as people moved northward and southward.

Tell me, how do you think the RACES evolved from the first DARWININ CELL?

Amino Acids came together and created Amoeba and we came from Amoeba, so how did Blacks and Chinese come about?

Did we come from "different" Amoeba?

If so, what are the odds we could mate and make babies?

Remember, Randomist Evolutioin is a throw of the dice. How do you throw dice and get 10 species that can interbreed from seprate developments.

What are the Las Vegas Odds on that one!

Answer 4

They migrated to warmer and colder climates; their skin and eyes evolving into what was needed in the parts of the world to which they migrated.

What makes you think evolution and religion don't agree?

Why do you sound so hostile? If your beliefs are so satisfying, why do you wound so miserable Why don't you do a little investigation. You might find something to lighten you up a little. Life is short. Don't throw it a way on negativity. God loves you and we do, too. Sounds to me like you're just daring someone to show you the light. Try this--if it doesn't work, you can always go back to hate:

Progressive Revelation

A great stumbling block to many, in the way of religious unity, is the difference between the Revelations given by the different Prophets. What is commanded by one is forbidden by another; how then can both be right, how can both be proclaiming the Will of God? Surely the truth is One, and cannot change. Yes, the Absolute Truth is One and cannot change, but the Absolute Truth is infinitely beyond the present range of human understanding, and our conceptions of it must constantly change. Our earlier, imperfect ideas will be by the Grace of God replaced, as time goes on, by more and more adequate conceptions. Bahá’u’lláh says, in a Tablet to some Bahá’ís of Persia:—
O people! Words are revealed according to capacity so that the beginners may make progress. The milk must be given according to measure so that the babe of the world may enter into the Realm of Grandeur and be established in the Court of Unity.
It is milk that strengthens the babe so that it can digest more solid food later on. To say that because one Prophet is right in giving a certain teaching at a certain time, therefore another Prophet must be wrong Who gives a different teaching at a different time, is like saying that because milk is the best food 123 for the newborn babe, therefore, milk and nothing but milk should be the food of the grown man also, and to give any other diet would be wrong! ‘Abdu’l-Bahá says:—
Each divine revelation is divided into two parts. The first part is essential and belongs to the eternal world. It is the exposition of Divine truths and essential principles. It is the expression of the Love of God. This is one in all the religions, unchangeable and immutable. The second part is not eternal; it deals with practical life, transactions and business, and changes according to the evolution of man and the requirements of the time of each Prophet. For example. … During the Mosaic period the hand of a person was cut off in punishment of a small theft; there was a law of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but as these laws were not expedient in the time of Christ, they were abrogated. Likewise divorce had become so universal that there remained no fixed laws of marriage, therefore His Holiness Christ forbade divorce.

According to the exigencies of the time, His Holiness Moses revealed ten laws for capital punishment. It was impossible at that time to protect the community and to preserve social security without these severe measures, for the children of Israel lived in the wilderness of Tah, where there were no established courts of justice and no penitentiaries. But this code of conduct was not needed in the time of Christ. The history of the second part of religion is unimportant, because it relates to the customs of this life only; but the foundation of the religion of God is one, and His Holiness Bahá’u’lláh has renewed that foundation.
The religion of God is the One Religion, and all the Prophets have taught it, but it is a living and a growing thing, not lifeless and unchanging. In the teaching of Moses we see the Bud; in that of Christ the Flower; in that of Bahá’u’lláh the Fruit. The flower does not destroy the bud, nor does the fruit destroy the flower. It destroys not, but fulfills. The bud scales must fall in order that the flower may bloom, and the petals must fall that 124 the fruit may grow and ripen. Were the bud scales and the petals wrong or useless, then, that they had to be discarded? Nay, both in their time were right and necessary; without them there could have been no fruit. So it is with the various prophetic teachings; their externals change from age to age, but each revelation is the fulfillment of its predecessors; they are not separate or incongruous, but different stages in the life history of the One Religion, which has in turn been revealed as seed, as bud and as flower, and now enters on the stage of fruition.

Answer 5

There are not many races. There is only one race, and all humans are members of that same race. The differing lines between groups is language, and culture and tribe/clan. Only in ignorance can we lay claim to differing races.

P.s.
The Bible does not teach that there are different races. That is a modern, racist, theory.

Answer 6

wow I think you just proved that evelotion, could not have happened, or that it could not have been the big bang, because then we all ould have still been the same, BUT here is your answer, which is TRUE, their was only one race of people , UNTILL man tried to build a tower to heaven, its called the tower of Babel, God scattered the people and confounded their language, so that they couldn`t comunicate anymore, and the climates of the different places have changed man.

Answer 7

If I were to guess, I would say God programmed our genes to evolve within our species to adapt to our surroundings, much like many animals can do.

But I really don't know....and the Bible (God) doesn't owe me any thing. No explanation. No justification. No nothing.

That's why I find it so amazing that He loves us and made a plan to save us.

Answer 8

Actually if you had actually read Genesis you would see that Japeth had seven sons, Ham had four sons, and Shem had five sons (obviously daughters were not mentioned in geneologies back then). Also seven of Japeth's grandsons are mentioned although the Bible chooses only to list the sons of two of Japeth's sons so he probably had more. Also eleven of Ham's grandsons are mentioned as well as four of his great-grandsons. (Again not all of his sons descendants are listed.) Shem is given the longest geneology as this was written as a way of introducing the Messianic line (the line leading to Christ.) The reason not all of Japeth's and Ham's desendants are listed is because the Bible was not meant to be a listing of human geneologies. Five of Shem's grandson's are listed as well as one great-grandson, two great-great-grandsons, and thirteen great-great-great-grandsons in the geneologies listed in Genesis chapter ten. Later on in Genesis chapter eleven God goes into more detail for Shem's descendants focusing only on Abraham's ancestry. Thus more of Shem's descendants are named.

Answer 9

Because Noah's children settled in different parts of the world.

Answer 10

I'll just ask you one favor, never, ever mock my "little" bible like that, it's rude to my religion and I'm not threatening you but just respect my catholic religion.

In the bible, there is no record of race. God is the only "Miracle Worker" and not every move God makes is recorded. We will never know how it was possible for God to create many nationalities and races but we all know that we are his children no matter what color, religion, etc...
