If god created only Adam, what race was he? Was Eve the same race?

Question

How does the bible account for the different races? Is skin tone the one part of evolution that religious people have to beleive?

Answer 1

Adam came from the ground, so he was brown or black. Eve came from a bone (rib), so she was white!

:D

A book of Genesis shows that the three sons of Noah are the fathers of different nations and ethnic groups of the then-known world. In the Old Testament they most likely would not have known about the worldwide ethnic and racial differences among human beings. In the NT they would have a more far-flung consciousness of racial, ethnic, and color differences--Roman whites, Ethiopian blacks, Middle Eastern browns--but still they would not have known about Native Americans, Far East Asians, Pacific Islanders, nor Scandinavians.

I doubt that ultraconservative religious people would deny the evolution of the races within the human race, adapting over the centuries to climates and landscapes of different places all over the world. What they deny is interspecies evolution, that is, one species of animal evolving into another, or human beings evolving from apes.

Answer 2

certain i'm a non secular individual and that i will claim evolution and version. The human species has been in existence for 1000's of 1000's of years. and what maximum persons do not comprehend is that Adam and Eve. existed way in the previous recorded historic previous. now if Adam and Eve were white or Caucasian i'd comprehend your doubt that all races ought to no longer exist. technology is largely already shown that Homo sapien got here from Africa and migrated to at least some thing else of the international and tailored to their dissimilar environments. they don't call Africa the motherland for no longer some thing. so it is really plausible that once our ancesters had a severe aspect of melanin in the floor at the same time as they found themselves in an ecosystem that did not require that aspect of melanin they are melanin stages dropped , for this reason turning out to be different so cslled races you spot immediately.

Answer 3

There really is no such thing as race. Dogs come in all sorts of shapes, colors and sizes, but they are all just dogs. Genetic variation, adaptation to environment, even diet account for skin color differences in humans. To answer your question, Adam and Eve would have to be darker in skin for all the races to have come from them. The difference between a black person and a white person is simply the amount of melanin in their skin. The article explains this with comprehensive tables.

If you still don't think that environment and heredity play an important role in appearance, look at the modern African American vs African. You would have to be blind to not be able to recognize the difference between the 2. Only a few hundred years and there is a distinct observable difference between the two thanks to mixing with native American, European, sun exposure, diet and so on.

Answer 4

Adam and Eve were both of the human race--just like you and I. The reason some people began to appear different than one another is because when God confused the language at the tower of Babel, small groups broke away from eachother and the strongest genetic factors in each small group made them appear different from one another. Really, they were still all the same.

Answer 5

there is only one human race, and we're all part of it

"Everybody knows what race is, right? Webster's defines it as "a local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics". In our society this concept is taken for granted by most people, yet many social scientists, biologists, and anthropologists believe race is just a figment of our imaginations.

Of course, those who have experienced discrimination based on race may not agree with this idea. For many people, racism makes race seem very real.

However, professor Naomi Zack argues that "the ordinary concept of race in the United States has no scientific foundation" (Zack, 1993). People lie along a gradual spectrum, she writes, they do not fall into distinct categories. And researcher Alain Corcos (1997) argues that because no population has ever been isolated enough from other populations to avoid "cross-breeding", there is no way to genetically characterize race. People of one "race" may be very different from one another, yet similar to someone of another "race", genetically speaking."

Answer 6

After the flood, the races branched out from Shem, Ham and Japhet..Noah's sons. Genetics, natural environment caused different skin and hair color...etc-

Answer 7

Here are a few facts everyone who doesn't know, should know:

1: God doesn't exist
2: Adam wasn't the first human
3: Eve wasn't the second
4: If they were, we'd be the same color
5. There wouldn't be racism
6: God doesn't exist
7: I like pie
8: Did I mention that God doesn't exist?

Answer 8

if we assume this hypothesis to be true, (which i don't), Adam and Eve must have been black as the genes for white pigmentation is recessive, whereas the gene for dark pigmentation is dominant. meaning that there is a possibility of black parents producing producing paler children, but no possibility of white parents producing darker children. and if you want to be literal it doesn't say anything about god messing with the colour of their children so it didn't happen.

Answer 9

dont you see God can do anything? He could make Indian and white and black kids all from her if he wanted to!! we just dk cuz we werent there...

Answer 10

They were of the Human race.


But then again they didn't really exist.
