If adam and eve were white then where did black come from?

Answer 1

According to popular myth (the Bible), Adam and Eve were created in the image of God and were perfect.

That means that they were not black or white.

They were about 3 feet tall, completely hairless, and had large bulging eyes and blue skin.

Answer 2

Adam and Eve's race is not stated in the Bible. According to the Bible, we all had a common language until the fall of the Tower of Babel. After this happened, the Lord scattered the people all over the face of the earth. People would not have been able to understand other languages. Recently, scientists have come to the conclusion that there are no significant genetic differences among the races. In fact, genetically speaking - we are the same. Thus, we can conclude that what makes us different are our experiences, traditions and culture. Whether you choose to believe in the Bible, science or a combination of the two, we are in fact the same. Essentially, the idea of black or white is simply that - an idea that is the result of ones perception. It is not where did black come from - it is where does black come from? What is your perception of black? ... of white? How do you choose to define ... or do you choose to define?

Answer 3

According to the Bible, all people today descended from the survivors of a great Flood - Noah's family, who in turn descended 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 "within race" 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 4

The idea that Adam and Eve were White IS JUST AN IDEA. Some translate Adam as "red man" when it actually means "human being, or man(kind)"

In actuality, I'm with those who say they carried all the genes for all the races programmed and ready to be born.

Answer 5

Before the fall, Adam and Eve were pure light...not looking like we do now. After the fall, they changed as the result of sin. They came out black. The reason there are blonde haired blue eyed people now is because of the process of evolution. A Swedish person could not really survive in the hot jungles of Africa because they are not "altered". A native African could not deal in the Land of the Midnight Sun. It would take many many many years for an African to look like one of the Hanson brothers.

Answer 6

Yes Adam and Eve were believed to be white.
Where did black come from?
Cane and Able
Cane and Able were brothers, but Cane was very very jealous of his brother because he felt his brother had favor with their father, and Able was a do gooder. Cain was more of rebel.
Well one day, Cane had had enough and he killed his brother.
This did not sit well with God, and a spell (if you will) was cast upon Cane , thus making him dark skinned.
This is the only way I know how to tell this story, I looked in the Bible but was unable to find the exact passages that tell it better.Sorry but I hope this helps

Answer 7

If Adam and Eve were real, then we are the products of inbreeding.

It's probably impossible to ever know what color they were, if the story is true that is.

Answer 8

three theories, 1. adam and eve had all the genes in them in the beginning, since everyone can be traced back to one set of parent, 2. the twoer babel were all the languages were created, maybe all the differant races to, and three 3. one of noah's son's was known as the father of Caanan, but is caanan black or just a differnat color of skin altogether???

Answer 9

Nobody knows if there really was a literal Adam and Eve.

It could all just be allegory for all we know.

Answer 10

There is not one theory everyone agrees upon, and the Bible certainly doesn't tell us, so we must be content with whatever answer we come up and believe in ourselves. We must also respect others for what they believe, because in the end they may be right. Good luck coming up with an answer.
