What do you guys think about the people that lived in the americas in the last 10K years?

Question

So..i guess this is towards the abrahamic faiths....but what do you think about the native americans in terms of heaven and hell.

The ice bridge from asia to america ended about 13000 years ago. So the native americans had to have go to america atleast by then.

They were never exposed to any of the abrahamic faiths until 1500's.

DO you think they had a different set of rules to follow form maybe more ancient religions....like noah abviously never followed judaism since it was started with abraham. Think whatever he believed, the native americans...although some woudl deviate....they followed something that came after him. Maybe they had their own prophets.

Just wanted to know what people thought.

Mahal...i sorta agree what you said about the chinesse.

Althougth not with your time scale....but thats the point i was getting at. That the pre abrahamic religions passed....but these people have had no contact with moses/jesus/muhammad. So you can't expect them be following anything from that time on.

The heaven and hell thing...i guess i realized my wording was bad when i wrote the question and forgot to delete those lines.

Thanks to everyoen else so far.

Answer 1

yes i believe there were obviously different rules and i'm sure the natives worshipped God in their own way. God called on many people to spread the faith, so clearly he was aware of the situation and did not hold it against the people that were not aware of the jewish faith.

Answer 2

I disagree with all contemporary thought on this.

I believe the earliest settlers in the New World were the Olmecs who arrived about 1700 BC speaking a West African language with African physical features. They migrated from the horn of Africa through coastal Asia and then across the ocean over a period of about 3000 years. Egyptian, Sumerian and Chinese writings from this period all speak of a "blackheaded people" living along the coastlines.

Similar independent crossings likely account for many of the Polynesian ethnic groups as well as later landings in the New World.

(The Pacific Ocean is easy to cross in a river boat from about February to May (other months are difficult because of the monsoon season in Asia). I know this from having lived on the Pacific ocean for months at a time and from having crossed it by ship more than a dozen times.)

I reject all notion that radiological dating is useful in dating past events due to incomplete knowledge of natural events that affect radiation.

I don't know how heaven and hell figure into it, but the Abrahamic faiths, as you call them, have several thousand years of heritage before Abraham, which is why the Chinese have an independently written flood story and an account of the 5 generations between their version of "Noah" and the first settlers in China. (See the Shih King.)

Answer 3

There is little to no scientific evidence to support the land bridge Theory. In fact there is more evidence to disprove the theory than there is in support of it. Scientists and common people today just believe the theory in blind faith and do not research it's origins. It is scientific racism, scientific myth. It was created so settlers and their descendents didn't have to feel guilty for the Genocide of land and culture and the stealing of lands.
