If we are all brothers and sisters how did different races come to be?

Question

Well?

"We evoluded and adapted to the area where we settled down in."

so why couldn't we have evolved to begin with an there is no god?

Answer 1

because it is in the test of man kind...he split us and gave us diffrent language. He works in mysterous ways

Answer 2

We aren't all brother and sisters. The races were created on the 6th day.

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

The Ethnos or ethnic peoples were hunters and fishers.


This are Eth ha adam, 8th day man which is totally different then man in ch 1:28. This man can blush red in the face. While the races can't do.

Gen 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

He didn't have the farmer. One to till the ground, spiritually to plant seeds of truth.

Gen 2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

If you notice the 6th day creation has different "duties" then the 8th day creation.

It would be nice to know that others had read the Bible but I am surprised at the answers that show up like they are facts from the Bible yet they are not, (even from some Christians).
1. Genesis Chapter 9, verse 18-19 States: Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the three sons of Noah, survived the Flood with their Father. (Ham is the ancestor of the Canaanites.) From these three sons of Noah came all the people now scattered across the earth.
(NOTE: Even (IF) as some stated there were other humans outside of the Garden the flood would have killed them too.)

2. Genesis Chapter 10 tells us which races came from Noah's son Japheth and also that some of them became seafaring peoples in various lands (with their own language).

It also tells us about the descendants of another Son (Ham) and some of his Descendants are where the Philistines come from. Hams descendans also were different races and languages.

It also tells us which races comes from Noah's last son Shem: and all the nations, tribes and languages that came from his descendants.

3. Genesis Chapter 11 tells of the tower of Babel now you have to understand that what happened in Chapter 11 happened somewhere in the middle of chapter 10.

In otherwords after the flood after the earth was being populated again, they all spoke the same language then comes the Tower of Babel and God seperates the people as described in chapter 10 and sent them out with the new languages they scattered as chapter 10 states.

I HOPE THIS CLEARS UP A FEW THINGS.

IF you have not read the Bible and know for a fact what is taught my friends you should not be answering in fact style. I would never ever try to answer a question concerning another different religion unless I had read it for myself in their teachings.

Answer 4

I believe you are asking a question that belongs to genetics and zoology.
There is no bibllical evidence that Cain became a black man or Ham for that matter. That is someone's speculation, probably was a justification for the yankee slaver trader and the southern slave owner.
But for instance,Vitamin D is in the sun's rays. It has been found that their is a maximum amount of Vitamin D that a fairer people should have and no maximum amount that black people should have but there is definitely a minimum that black people should have.
People migrated to areas that was more suitable for them and their breeding creating different races. Now this is just an example on pigmentation.

Answer 5

It is simple. All races are 99.9% identical. However, when a group of people break off from a larger group and begin intrabreeding, dominant genetic traits begin to appear. Since there are a plethora of genetic traits possible (which is why you don't look exactly like anyone else, save an identical or semi-identical twin), one sub-group can develop a generous amount of melanin in the skin and another hardly any, for example. This is how the races began and why there are different races.

Answer 6

Sometime a bit less than 100,000 years ago, some people moved from the original African locale to Europe, and others to Asia. The populations were subsequently isolated by long distance and natural catastrophes such as ice ages, and since separation of population encourages genetic drift, the groups evolved differently.

Answer 7

Great Question! One story told in the Bible is the story of Babel - humanity worked together to build a tower, so they could be Gods... this made God mad... so.... s/he confounded their langauges (made is so they could not organize in that way anymore! Broke up the union!). The story does not say that different races happened similataniously but some believe it did ... those who spoke one langage headed one way.... and then.... races emerged. Perhpas it happened naturally over time - or perhaps, God assigned them races as well as languages so they could find one another in the confused crowd. Who knows? Of course the other answer is that this is just a myth written to explain the question you've just asked ... and... I doubt we will ever all agree on one answer or the other.

Answer 8

well, here ya go!

On the 6th day in Genesis you read of God creating (in the flesh) all the races. Then on the 8th day He created Adam and formed Eve. There were already thousands of people alive on earth when Adam was created.
Side-note for the heck of it:
The manuscripts do not say that a "rib" was taken from Adam to form Eve; it actually says that a "curve" was taken from Adam.
I always found that interesting, because of the "helix curve" in dna.

Answer 9

Dear Mr. Green Mohawk:
Differences among living things are, basically, a matter of genetics. Says Zoologist Ernst Mayr:
“Variability is inherent in any natural population.”
Professor of Zoology L. C. Dunn says:
there “even today all races have many of their genes in common, as though they had all obtained them from a common source.”
Suppose a group of people were isolated geographically, just as the horticulturist isolates a strain of plants, certain characteristics among those people would become stronger, or “dominant,” throughout the group’s descendants. Eventually a new “race” would develop, yet it would remain human.

Answer 10

At the Tower of Babel, God confused their languages...they then grouped up according to the ones they could understand and separated into different lands.

The reason they were at the tower was that they had built a high structure hoping not to be drowned by another flood headed by Nimrod, Noah's grandson. He was in opposition to Jehovah.

When God confused their language they could no longer talk with others to fight against the True God.

Answer 11

As some people migrated and settled into different lands, over time their bodies began to change in order to adapt to the climates that they lived in and also from the foods that were available.
