When do you believe the races started? At the Tower of babel or with eh son's of Noah?

Question

Some say the Son's of Noah, Genesis 10 is known as the table of nations, and some say the tower of Bael because thats when all the language was changed, so they think the nations were created there, but some theologians say that Adam and Eve has all the nations in them to begin with, so the nations could have already been created with Noah and not at the Tower, what do you think?

Answer 1

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 2

No. Adam and Eve had genes that produced extraordinary epidermis colours or versions in type. There used to be no longer meant to be a dividing of races as has occurred. Just such as you might take a couple of animals and they've infants. Those infants will commonly seem extraordinary. But someplace alongside the road, individuals who had the identical epidermis colour or aspects married every different and so strains of difference shaped. If all persons had married with out regard to appears or epidermis colour the sector might all be identical in look. Differences might have evened out. Babylon used to be the opening of extraordinary languages, no longer races.

Answer 3

Trying to make science fit within the framework of a mythological story causes serious problems. Theology is not science. And the explanations that theologians give are not accurate.

Answer 4

Races developed due to the climate in which one lived. Those that lived in hot, sunny regions developed dark skin to protect them from harmful rays. Those in cooler climates had no need for the extra pigment, hence, lighter skin and hair.

Please note that this is not a "belief", but a fact.

Answer 5

All men and women, that is, all races were created in the 6th creative period or the 6th day of creation.
Genesis 1:27-28
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
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 Adam that is mentioned in chapter 2 of Genesis was "formed". This was a specific "bloodline" for Christ to come through.
Jesus's bloodline is the only one on record and goes all the way back to the "formed" not created Adam.

Language of the people that were in opposition to God in that place at that time were confused. This is should not be confused with the languages that were in different parts of the world and different already then.

Answer 6

You do realize that both of those stories are fables don't you? They were written to explain why there are different races and languages. Sort of like how the Greeks wrote stories involving the gods to explain things like the change of seasons.

Answer 7

They began when the first populations of early humans left Africa and spread across the globe.

Those who settled in the north, in colder climates, evolved light skin to absorb the little sunlight they had.

Those who settled farther south, like the equator, evolved dark skin to protect them from the intense heat and sunlight.

Answer 8

If you are 10 or under that's fine but if you are any older than that you must find reality or you'll live a wasted life

Answer 9

If you mean skin colour, then it is after the flood.
If you mean language, then it is after the Babel Tower.

Answer 10

the aborigonal people hold there were 8 eve's
