If you really want an answer, here it is.But I got a feeling you don't. The farther back in time you go, the less imperfections were inherited. Adam and Eve started out perfect. So the first generations had clean, flawless bloodlines . As time went on, diseases became more prevelent, bloodlines had more flaws. If both parents have the same flaws, the child they have is more likely to inherit that flaw. So they could have had children with their sister. Abraham was married to his half sister and they had a son, Isaac.
The races came to be, according to the Bible, through Noah's sons after the flood. They each went to seperate areas and new races began. As they adapted to their environments, their skin, hair, etc changed to adapt to heat, sun, cold, whatever they needed to adapt to.

Believing in the story of adam and ever is the equivalent of believing in a fairytale. I believe it starts from childhood. The only reason people believe it is because their parents TOLD them that it was true. If their parents read them a fairytale and the adam and eve story side by side, the child would not be able to differentiate between the two.

Ok , take this jack: Adam was brown as in color , Eve was white . Picture the kids now they are mixed. But notice when white got married to a white the kids will be white. In some old cultures some dark families will have white kid born among them or look like Chinese some times.

Again, dont take the Bible literally. And dont listen to anyone that tells you otherwise. The Bible was meant to teach a lesson of life so dont limit it to out dated historical standards. It wasnt meant to be a history, geology, or an astronomy book. I cant stand it when poeple try to do that, it wasnt meant for anyother purpose other than telling you how you should live your life. Nothing more, nothing less.

How could anyone in their right minds believe that we all came from monkeys and that monkeys came from fish and the world is a result of some big blast? That's what I wonder!

Yeah, it's obviously Christian mythology. It wasn't written by God it was written by men who thought they figured out how we got here just like Norse mythology or Greek mythology. To me the story is a metaphor for when we evolved intelligence. That's what happened when we "ate the apple."

i think that it is exaggerated. plus, when cain kills abel in the bible, he is banished to the land of nod, where there are supposedly people. only after this story do we hear of any more kids from adam and eve and they are not mentioned as living in nod. so where did these people come from? i think its a load of hooey.
