If adam and eve were the first two humans where did black people come from?

Question

maybe they evolved into a different race............... ?

"What, you think Adam and Eve were white?"

apparently thats what every single picture in christianity has them as

Answer 1

Read the events that lead to adam and eve induging... Decide for yourselves whose fault was it!


If Adam and eve did not exist... there would not have been any human beings! The first of the species of human beings the revered Adam and Eve were the first to surface on Mother Earth as human beings. Their direct ancestors being the ape family!

Now Adam and Eve came onto this Earth. They had both to act as a family. Both were son and daughter of God. That made them brother and sister. How come they could have fathered children?

In the initial stages of development of human life... nothing existed which we could have called as society or community. It was a raw savage world. As per the theory of Charles Darwin, "it was the time for survival of the fittest". It was the time to do and die.

Words like ethics and morality did not exist for even words did not exist during those times. The Lipi (written form of communication) was developed at a much later stage in time.

Even a brother and sister relationship did not exist at that time. There were only two human beings who had surfaced on Mother Earth. They had to copulate and produce children. They did not do it intentionally. They never knew anything about it.

It was that it happened. They did it and something was born. At that moment of time they would have been extremely surprised not knowing what to do about it. Eventually they would have realized it was one of them.

They reared that child and with passage of time another child was born. This time it was a female child. As this small family progressed further... this male and female child copulated at the appropriate time. And the whole family started to grow.

Now there were two families. With passage of time many more families came into existence. Until this point of time there was nothing like morality and ethics that played any role. For the sake of their survival and progeny these families kept on multiplying.

This was the only way to keep intruders at bay. They had to protect themselves from the wild beings roaming Mother Earth.

Ever since the Revelations of God came into existence... the human being who had invoked these words of God realized that the system had to be ordered at some stage. And some system of morality and ethics came into being.

As of today... the copulation by the children of Adam and Eve was a sin but at that time it was not a sin for the relationship of brother and sister never existed in those times.

The development of relationships in human life came at a very later the stage. It was only possible when the community would have developed into a massive strength. Population somewhere in thousands would have prompted the wise and the elders of those times to separate out into distinct families.

We need to understand that whatever is truth today may not hold tomorrow. In a scientific developing world the values whether they are ethical, moral or otherwise keep changing.

We also need to understand that during the times of Mahabharata... the battle was fought using swords, horses and elephants. But now the warfare consists of atomic bombs, missiles and chemical warfare. More on adam and eve here- http://www.godrealized.com/dharma_definition.html

Answer 2

A common belief is that they are the decedents of Cain. His decedents survived the flood because the wife of Ham was possibly black. Though this is speculative, it is well grounded in beliefs, and is somewhat explained (if you read between the lines) in the Bible.

Others believe it may have been a response to the Tower of Babel, in which the languages were confounded, and people formed into different distinctive groups, including languages.

Really there are a lot of possible answers, but I don't think anyone knows for certain, and either way, what does it matter? If God can create the universe, why not different skin colors better adapted to the climates the people moved to.

Your question though was specifically about blacks, but how do you know that this is not the original color of skin, and at Babel, or adaptations throughout time leading to the current diversity.

Answer 3

What, you think Adam and Eve were white? Think about where they lived and the skin color of people in that region. Your question would have made more sense if you had asked where white people came from.

As has been said on here before, evolution and the bible can and do co-exist - people and creatures evolve based on their surroundings and their ability to survive in temparature differences, amoung other things. HOWEVER, humans do not evolve from apes, slime, a single celled micro-organism or any other THEORY that science would like to come up with.

Answer 4

Who knows, really?? Let's approach this scientifically and see how we can extrapolate the problem mathematically...

There are THREE basic races in the Human specie: the Caucasoid, the *******, and the Mongoloid. Therefore, the statistical permutation for TWO people would be a total of NINE DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS, viz:

White male, white female
White male, black female
White male, yellow female

Black male, white female
Black male, black female
Black male, yellow female

Yellow male, white female
Yellow male, black female
Yellow male, yellow female

So, WHICH COMBINATION DO WE PREFER it to be now?? Do we put this on a ballot and take a vote then? What does Science think it ought to be, based on the current population of the World today?? Ad infinitum...

LOL.

Peace be with you.

Answer 5

Pictures about the bible are a depiction given by artists. Just as hell is seen as a place of fire.

I believe most of the bible is written by people putting in there own beliefs. As for Adam and Eve, well i think they were really the first man and women who stood up strait, perhaps the first of each sex to be fully human.

Answer 6

My Bible doesn't specify the race of Adam and Eve, nor of Cain or Abel or Seth. In Genesis, there is some mention of the lands where people lived, but not much about race until the story of Moses in Egypt. Moses' people were then identified as the Israelites or "children of Israel" as opposed to their Egyptian slave-masters. Futher south from Egypt were the Nubians, but the people in the southern (sub-Saharan) parts of Africa aren't mentioned much in the Bible. So as a historical reference, the Bible does not say where "black people" came from. You would have to turn to science for such information. And then the picture is very different.
So mdp is correct in saying that I don't know for sure.

Answer 7

HELLO!!!
Do people actually believe that Adam and Eve were blond haired/blue eyed people????
What if Adam and Eve were black and "white people" are the ones who evolved???

Answer 8

According to the Bible, the Garden of Eden was located somewhere in Africa, so it is more than likely that Adam and Eve were black.

Answer 9

you should probably resolve your conflict here between evolution and religious stories of creation. Humans are very adaptable and if they lived in a specific geographic location will evolve to best survive in that environment.

Answer 10

MANKIND ADAM
……………………….
Most have read when Cain talked with Abel and in the field killed him.
Gen.4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
God then cursed and drove Cain out, and Cain said.
Gen.4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
WHO IS CAIN WORRIED ABOUT?
Gen.4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
WHERE DID CAIN FIND A WIFE?
The answer is in the Hebrew text of (Gen.1:26 and Gen.2:7).

The word “man” (Gen.1:26) in the Hebrew text looks like this ( אדם ), with no article means “MANKIND”, transliterated is (adam).
……………………….
ADAM
Gen.2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
