A study that took random blood samples from people all around the world have determined genetically that the origin of man comes from the San Tribe of the Kalahari Area of Africa, a Bushman Tribe. According to the Bible that the first Man - ADAM, was made in God’s Image…would that mean God’s Image would look like an African Bushman?

I'm trying to understand more about Christians...they tell me that the Bible is absolutely correct. I just want to know if this research is true, then the Bible does say that man was created in God's Image.

we won't know until we see Him ourselves.

God is all races.
Of course back when Adam was schlepping around, if it was in Africa (and your blood sampling story is bogus, as you know) which the fossil record indicates at this time, the people who later became Bushmen may have been white, red, yellow, black or polka-dotted. No way to tell. 8-)

We are all made in living God's image. He is a triune being...and so are we. God is spirit and therefore color is not an issue.
God has both masculine and feminine traits and therefore because he is spirit, he is neither male nor female. (Woman was taken out of man. The rib in Hebrew is the other side.)

I dont think so, remember God has not a phissicall body, He is like Spirit...so he can not be black. We have the God's image, not in the body, in the soul!
I think he made all colors and races (others called evolution) because all are beautiful!

or maybe the evolution theory is true, and we all evolved from Africans, and Africans originally evolved from the missing link between apes and man.
As for God..well...honestly I doubt God is a black man...or a white man or an asian man..I doubt God is even a man or woman or human at that. God is God. YHWH...whatever you want to refer to God, the supreme being.

To your title question: Who on this planet today could answer that. Let alone someone here at Yahoo/Answers on Thursday, January 25th 2007. Just remember God is God or ALL in ALL, Everything.

What possible difference would it make?
God the Father, God, the Son and God the Holy Ghost, The Trinity, that is all we need to care about!

1) Man in 'God's Image' has to do with his anthropological structure, not his physical appearance.
2) Adam was a Sumerian, the first known ancestor in Jewish genealogy.

I think as far as this goes, Mankind was not physically created in Gods image. I think we were created in the image of the Holy Spirit. Hope this helps.....

it is attainable that Jesus became black because the middle east is in such close proximity to the continent of Africa. i imagine Jesus became more desirable in all probability of a brown or olive skinned kind regardless of the actuality that. so a concepts as God and the Bible, the that technique of "his image" does no longer propose interior the actual sense, yet quite interior the non secular sense. i'm no longer pretending to be a Bible student because i'm no longer, yet i don't think the God of the Bible has a actual kind, a minimum of no longer one which we are acquainted with.

I think that you need to redefine image here. It is not talking about physical appearance. What the bible meant was that we are unique beings capable of love and hate.
