if adam and Eve were white, where are the asain , black ,and others from?

Answer 1

Well here's a question: by using "if", is this a "Suppose Adam and Eve were white" quiestion, or are you assuming that Adam and Eve were white?

So let's concentration on the other part of the question, which pretty much asks "how did races come to being?"

Unfortunately, there isn't one answer. The Bible doesn't say, so all we can do is speculate. However, there are many other perceptions out there. Here is something from the Word of Truth Raido.com website:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One idea that has surfaced comes from Genesis 4:15. After Cain killed Able the Bible says that Cain felt insecure about life and God said, “Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” and “the Lord set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him.” Some have concluded that this “mark” was black skin. First of all, we don’t know what the mark was, but is it possible that the black gene was started with Cain and carried onto the ark in one of Noah’s sons or daughter-in-laws? Not very likely at all. That would be a very prejudiced viewpoint in our opinion, and a view that has no Scriptural evidence.

Others have jumped on Genesis 9:25 (This is the curse Noah placed on Canaan for his father Ham's lack of respect.) “Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants he shall be to his brethren.” Some have tried to suggest that the people of Africa can trace their ancestry back to Ham. Here the conclusion is drawn that the black race has been in slavery more than any race in human history; therefore, it is concluded that this curse was genetically followed into Ham’s offspring. However, the curse was placed on Canaan, not Ham. Canaan's descendents where the Canaanites and they dwelt in what is now modern Israel (Genesis 9:15-19). People wanting to bolster the doctrine of slavery in the Southern United States in the 1800’s advocated this theory of black people being "cursed". Obviously, this is a very rude and prejudiced idea that is totally lacking in supportive evidence.

Some Christians believe that just as man is currently tinkering with the genes of plants and animals (and humans), scientists of Noah’s day tinkered with the genes of the animals and altered animal life, producing the prehistoric monsters we now know as dinosaurs. If we want to daydream, perhaps we could wonder if they also manipulated human embryos. Who knows? Maybe this is why God is silent on the matter. Why give the sinful heart an idea God deplores?

A better conjecture is the idea of variety. When we investigate our world, we see that God has put in place a gene pool that has made possible a whole panorama of color and shapes: in the flower world, in the breeds of dogs that are possible, etc., etc. The same is true with the human race: we have a spectrum of profiles and colors, as this seems to have been God's plan from the beginning. We don't have to explain it; we only need to accept it. Some scientists arrogantly suggest that Caucasians are farther up the ladder because they have reached a superior level of evolution. Does this sound like something that our loving Creator would allow? Of course not! We can be sure that the devil is behind this type of absurd reasoning. Let's not forget that all men are equal in the sight of God. "For man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart."
(1 Samuel 16:7)

Hope this helps. I for one believe that there is only one race: the human race. For more on this, check out

Answer 2

No where in the Bible does it mention Adam and Eve's colour anywhere. I say they were black just because.. O_O it could be that lovely shade as any other. The colour was not important or it would have been mentioned. The differences happened down the line around the first time humans got full of themselves and thought they could be God. The book has all the answers but takes a commitment to read it. Have a great Christmas

Answer 3

The story of Adam and Eve shouldn't be taken as hardcore fact. It is a fable (meaning a mythical story with an underlying moral). The many morals of Gensis has different meanings for people.

There was never a single man and woman to start off an entire race of people. And there wasn't a ever a Garden of Eden. These were just symbols.

But as I recall....the bible never stated that Adam and Eve were white. You're making up that part.

People evloved. As prehistoric man spread across the continents, the pockets of people grew to better suit there enviroment. Similar to why we have different breeds of dogs.

Answer 4

According to the Bible, all people today descended from the survivors of a great Flood - Noah's family, who in turn descentded from Adam and Eve (Gen 1:11). There are many stories, from many parts of the world, of a great Flood that only several people survived to repopulate the earth.
But today we have many different groups, often called "races" with what seem to be greatly differing features. The most obvious of these is skin color. Some see this as a reason to doubt the Bible's record of history. They believe that the various groups could have arisen only by evolving separately over tens of thousands of years. However, this does not follow from the evidence.
The Bible tells us how the population that descended from Noah's family had one language and were living together and disobeying God's command to "fill the earth" (Gen 9:1, 11:4). God confused their language, causing a break-up of the population into smaller groups, which scattered over the earth (Gen. 11:8-9). Modern genetics shows how, following such a break-up of a population, variations in skin color, for example, can develop in only a few generations. And there is good evidence to show that the various groups of people we have today have NOT been separated for huge periods of time.
One could say there is really only one race - the human race. The Bible teaches us that God has "made from one blood all nations of men" (Acts 17:26. Scripture distinguishes people by tribal or national groupings, not by skin color or physical features. Clearly, though, there are groups of people who have certain features (e.g.skin color) in common, which distinguish them from other groups. We prefer to call these "people groups" rather than "races," to avoid the evolutionary and racist connotations that have become associated with the word "race."
All peoples can intermarry and produce fertile offspring. This shows that the biological differences between the "races" are not great. In fact, the DNA differences are trivial. The DNA of any two people in the world would typically differ by just 0.2%. Of this, only 6% can be linked to racial categories; the rest is "withinrace" variation.
This genetic unity means, for instance, that white Americans, although ostensibly far removed from black Americans in phenotype, can sometimes be better tissue matches for them than other black Americans.

Answer 5

Who says they were white? And different locations could cause such changes over a long period of time. That's not the biggest problem with the Adam & Eve story... The problem is two people couldn't have populated the earth.

Answer 6

Who said they were white? The bible doesn't say they were white. I believe the different races came about through the process of evolution. Oops sorry there goes that evolution thing again us Atheist just cant leave it along can we. Some Christians believe it was Cane who caused the different races when he married the monkey. Oh no when he married his sister. Others say it was when God when he changed the tongues to destroy the tower of babble before they reached heaven which brings on a question which I will go ask.

Answer 7

The Bible states that Adam and Eve were created in the Garden of Eden, which was situated between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers and Cush (now known as Ethiopia). Archeologist found what they to believe to be the "original man" a few years back. He was of African descent.

Answer 8

Adam and Eve were not white. The people in that area at that time were black. Anthropologist says that the earliest people were black and all other races came from black.

Answer 9

It comes down to the area in which they inhabbited and how they evolved over time. Who knows if Adam and Eve were even white to begin with!

Answer 10

The bible doesn't state what color Adam and Eve were, And we do not know what color people in that region were either. As climate changes etc have quite probably occured. The easiest answer is where scripture is silent we should not try to shout, it does not make reference to color, truly it wouldn't matter if they were blue, what matters is that they were, and the choice they made has caused strife for humanity for lo these many years
