then how do you explain those places where they never heard of god? did god also create the Egyptians? there are probably secret tribes in the amazon rain forest with people in it and im sure they never heard of god, how can you explain that?
and i know when some Christian extremist is reading this they will go ballistic, like YOU IGNORANT FOOL HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ARE YOU THAT DUMB, you might say things similar to that trying to yell at me but you are not answering my question.

As long as people try to explain or solve the world's problems with faith and superstitions instead of reason, religion will be given fuel. Science needs to advance much further, and then the flame of religion will burn out completely once and for all.
Peace is always the product of reason - never of faith.

No I think that is a good question. God scattered them out and told them to scatter and fill the earth. Given the violence of mankind and knowing the best way to stay alive was to make a large distance between you and the other tribes. Plus they followed the migrateing herds to all places and they kept moving for fear that someone was after them. Some may have said, this particularly family is staying behind we have moved far enough. So they stayed there and created a whole new place of people as much as Adam and Eve did.
But I think a lot of it was fear. There only way from war and rape and killing was to get away. That kept them moving plus the fact that as they killed herds in one place to move meant a greater food supply. So they kept moving.
I remember reading how in China the leaders was it gingus kong or know that is not how it is spelled. Was a brutal murderer and some slaves escaped into these boats and set out into unchartered waters. Horriblely abused and starved and mistreated landed in what is now Hawaii. A storm brought them there as the story goes. Maybe God was behind the storm?
Then some came across out of Syberia across an ice shelf to Alaska. Then down following the herds to what is now California.
From North American to South America constantly following the herds.

Given the rather advanced state of ignorance in biblical times, the explanation given for those things that the people of the time could never understand was, "God did it". Even the most primitive of tribes in the jungles of the Amazon and Asia believe in spirits and forces they cannot understand or control. There were sun worshippers, moon worshippers, fire, volanoes, things of a powerful nature that could not be controlled. Though they did not call them "God" they had names for them. I believe in the infinite nature of the universe. Space, time, life, energy....they are all without beginning or end. Planets are formed, destroyed, modified and moved. Earth is a tiny speck of dust in an infinite cosmos. What we humans do, good or bad, is irrelevant in the larger picture. Did some intelligent being create this energy system we call the universe? No. It operates within the laws of physics as we understand them. Life comes from life...that is a fundamental biological law. Through natural selection, we modify our species. Evolutionists preach speciation. That is not real. We don't create cats from dogs, frogs from worms or planaria from amebas. The species were created independentally. They each contribute to the sustainability of our global bio systems. They each have a purpose in the web of life. Humans have no discernable purpose on Earth. If we all disappeared tomorrow, not a single other inhabitant of our world would miss us.
The purpose of humankind is to spread life through the cosmos by developing the technologies required to do that. If that is not what we are supposed to be doing, then what IS our purpose here?? Everything we are doing to the Earth, its living inhabitants and its air and water is destructive. We were placed here by others living somewhere else in this galaxy. The process of making Earth habitable with stored energy sources and an ecology capable of sustaining life, took millions of years and thousands of interventions to get us where we are today. You want to call these other humanoids (the bible says we are created in His image) "God"? That's your choice. Earth is only one of thousands of planets colonized in this area. I dare say there are an infinite number that have been colonized in other galaxies and continue to be colonized every day.
The problem with us small-minded God-freaks is that we insist that we are right...not believing and behaving as this old book (the bible) dictates results in punishment and being obedient gets us a reward in "heaven".
I think we are past this now. We are on the cusp of understanding the scope and function of the universe. What mystifies me at this juncture is that respected scientists still speak of a "beginning" ..a big bang when everything began. RIDICULOUS!! What was there before? NOTHING?? No.....GOD was there. Riiiiiiiiiight!

If a mother gives up her child for adoption, the child may not know her parent, but she is still her parent. Just because someone does not know of God, does not mean that God did not create them. The Bible says that God created all things in the Heavens and in the Earth. It is not contingent on whether people recognize that or not.

in the tower of babel, God confused the people by changing the languages and customs, thats why when people all of a sudden coulnt understand each other, the only thing left to do was pick up their things and move, along with the other small amount of people who spoke their same language. thats where all the different languages came from, and the different customs, i guess some people just prefer to live in the jungle and in other remote areas, but yes, God did create all the different languages.just makes the planet more interesting

In the bible it says that god created Adam and eve. When they got kicked out of the garden of Eden they went to some other civilization and they lived among the people. So that tells me that there were people on the earth before god created Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve were the first ones created in gods image.

So you're saying that because I don't know or have never heard of something, that it doesn't exist? That is flawed logic. If it were true, nothing would have ever been discovered.
I never heard of my late great-uncle William till a few years ago. Does that mean he didn't exist until then?
Or what about those who HAVE heard of God but who choose later to deny Him? Does that mean that He doesn't exist for everybody?

how do we even know that god created the world? how do we know that there was ever a beginning to this earth? maybe it was here for eternity. Not everything has to make sense. This thing that we called god may not be the solution. there are somethings that cannot be explained... somethings are just what they are

God created all races and gave knowledge to some so they could go forth and teach people about God. It sometimes takes many many years for some to learn about God.Then there are places that will not except Gods word.

Well pal, that is a pretty dumb question for someone who is smart enough to be using a computer.
There is a lot of historical info out since about 1825 that pretty much says that the Biblical account is very probable. I would not assume it to be error. To be safe, you should prove it wrong.
