Obviousy those 8 people were white, So how did Asians, Blacks, and Hispanics come about ?? It doesnt make sense to me that 2 white people can give birth to an asian or black. please everyone gimme your opinions

Answer 1

One of the very many things in the bible that makes no sense.

Some theists understand that the bible is filled with allegory and for the purposes of their life and religion, merely use it as a guide. Others- take every word literally.

Answer 2

That's if you believe the story of Noah and the ark. Scientifically, it's impossible for so many reasons, the biggest being humans would drown from all the moisture in the air if the earth was covered in water. Not only that, there is no geographical proof of the whole world flooding at the same time. There was a great flood at that time which would have led people on a boat to be washed to see, leading them to believe the world was flooded because they couldn't see the horizon.

That aside, Asian and Blacks became was they are because they adopted to their environment.

Answer 3

The bible does say two of every flesh. Man is flesh is it not? What makes you think a man and woman from every race wasn’t aboard the ark?

Some scholars also believe that only that area was flooded. Either way it works out. If you break out a map you can see how this could be possible (I won’t explain the purpose that would serve. If you are serious you can email me.) If you study the bible everything makes sense. If you truly study it. Shepherds Chapel is a great church, they have a site where you can even listen online.

Race doesn’t matter. but Jesus came from that blood line. God created all the races and said they were good. So who cares what race you are? It just makes you sound a little goofy when people get tied up in that.

Answer 4

No one said they were white. The most logical skin colour could have been medium brown (as they were all from the middle east somewhere by the mountains of ararat). Every race has the same amount of melanin in their skin. It's all in how your genetics are rearranged during reproduction. Ab + aB = AB or Aa or Ab or Bb etc etc.
After the flood, at the tower of babel, the people were divided by confusing their language. There isn't any reason not to believe that the Aa's were divided from the Bb's (and so on) in the same way. The melanin in their skin tones would have been affected by this division by virtue of simple genetics - making decendants of group A black, group B white etc.

There are documented cases today of people of African decent marrying and giving birth to white children. One such birth (recently) of a couple in England who gave birth to identical twins. Identical - that is - except for the colour of their skin.

Answer 5

Some Fundamentalists I know believe that one of the sons of Noah was black. Also, was Noah a white European to begin with? There is also a legend that Cain, the son of Adam, was black. I'm not saying that I believe all these things, but I definitely know some people who do. Noah's sons were Shem, Ham and Japheth, and were thought by many people to embody different races. From Wikipedia:

"Noah's three sons were generally interpreted in medieval Christianity as the founders of the populations of the three known continents, Japheth/Europe, Shem/Asia, and Ham/Africa."

Answer 6

The answer is not too complicated. The different races came after Noah's flood.

One of Noah's ancestor was named Peleg. Genesis 10:25 says, "one was named Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided." All the continents were together until this time. Geologists confirm that the continents were all together at one time. When the continents divided, people were separated by oceans and mountains. They could not mate with each other and so various characteristics appeared. Skin became dark in the regions of the equator. Light skin appeared north where it was cool. And of course other characteristics have occurred during this period. This is where we get our races.

By the way there are only nine specific races: African, American Indian, Asian, Australian, European, Indian, Melanesian, Micronesian, and Polynesian. Since we have been able to come together there is now a mixture of different races.

Many racists try to prove that interracial marriages are wrong by saying that God forbade Israel from intermarrying people from other nations. Their argument only proves how wrong the racists are; because Jews are not a single separate race; they belong to the European race which is often called Caucasian. According to their faulty logic, people can only marry within their own nationality, not race.

Here is another thought: races are a result of mutation. Mutation is not the same as evolution. Natural evolutionists teach that it is possible for different species to cross mate. That's not true. The only mating which is possible is mating between the same species, and since different races can mate this proves that all human races are of the same species called the human race. All races are made in God's image.

As Paul said, "From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live" (Acts 17:26). Now under the new dispensation, God has called every nation and race of men to come together under the "Last Adam." Jesus Christ unites all the races together under the new creation.

John wrote: "After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands" (Rev 7:9). This is God's will for today--that every nation and race come together under the faith of Jesus Christ.

Answer 7

Nowhere in the bible does it claim Noah was caucasian, and from the part of the world this took place, I would say he wasn't. It is believed that over time skin pigmentation came from the position on the earth that people originated from and the climate affects this had on their coloring. As darker skinned pigments came from national origins closer to the equator, and lighter pigments the further out.

Answer 8

A athiest unless she or he is a religous scholor couldn't give u a satisfactory answer to this for they don't believe in the myths such as the Noah Flood story.
But u can always imagine something up like God put the whole world's future DNA inside of them and thats how it came to be.

Answer 9

first of all, Noah and his family were NOT white! They were darker skin color, like Arabs. If you follow the bloodline from Adam and Eve to Noah and his wife, you will see that were many mixed marriages and women were raped by foreign men. So they had mixed children. So Noah and his wife had 3 sons with a mixture of blood and they were married to women that could have had a mix in them. So when they had children, their children could have been of different 'hues' of dark skin.

My family is 'white' but we have black blood in us because my great-great grandfather married his slave maid after his wife died and they had 3 children who were all black skinned. But my mother's side comes from his first wife's children and they are white. But we do have black (mixed) in our family. And I have a cousin and her hubby that are white but had a black child. They found out that he has black blood in his genes from 2 generations ago that no one talked about and it didn't make any children black until now. Things happen.

Answer 10

not very convincing. those persons who're atheist have only as lots a reason to stay as those persons who're theist. I doubt this replaced into any distinctive hundreds of years in the past. nonetheless, notwithstanding, actually god thought does have some variety of evolutionary foundation; in any different case, it does not have one in all those profound result on maximum of humanity. The question is, nevertheless, is god thought a genetic trait in and of itself or is it the via-made from yet another genetic trait?

Answer 11

Several years ago I took a science class. My professor claimed that most of the facts in that story are false b/c it occurred in Africa in an area known to flood every century or so (I forget the exact time period).

Also, whether or not you believe the story, many scientist do believe that life began in Africa and those first people ventured to other areas of earth. Somehow, their bodies adapted to the new environment they were in.
