if we are all god's children, how come people have different skin colors?

Question

if you think that god made adam and eve, were they white, black, asian, etc?

if two blacks get married, their children will never be white

so how is that possible that if you are adam and eve's descendent, how can your skin color be different than many others?

i believe in evolution

told me that the descendent of adam and eve should have equal numbers of ribs according to dna, therefore, if we all have the same dna from adam and eve, why do people have different skin color?

you people just contradict yourself, and i prove to you god didn't make people

Answer 1

Being a child of God has nothing to do with skin color. There are millions of Christians who are of many ethnicities and skin colors.

God does not care what your outsides look like; that is irrevelant. What matters most is that you accept Him into your heart.

Answer 2

because adam and eve were a little after the time of pangaea and therefore had a darker skin tone than you'd imagine. It was white men who wrote the bible (sorry sweety, god did not deliver it into the arms of man) and therefore everyone in the bible is white. Jesus was scientifically proved to have been black because during that time people had a higher melinin concentration being in that part of Earth (today it would be mid Africa...or the Equator). And we're not all God's children, we all stem from three different men. And how did those three men come to be (and the women they mated with?) Well, evolution!

Answer 3

How do you know but that Adam was a different race than his wife, Eve? However, that is really not important. What is obvious is that Adam and Eve were created with the DNA of all races alive on earth today. Just as persons isolate certain characteristics in breeding animals, humans who were concentrated in certain areas of the globe after the incident at Babel, produced distinct characteristics.

Answer 4

Who said Adam and Eve were white?

Answer 5

We all come from Noah's 3 sons, Ham, Sham and Japheth. They settled in different parts of the world over time. Our skin color comes from adaption to the climate over time.

Answer 6

they were likely some color that doesn't exist anymore, or a "mixture" of all the colors we've observed up until now

albinos and jaundice have occured before you know...

genetic variance. Noah's sons were given ethnic names: Ham (dark), Shem (middle-skin), and Japheth (fair). so if their wives were similar to them, then their children would be similar. correct? when you have a bunch of cousins marrying, then the family resemblence is similar. according to Biblical account, Ham's descendants populated Africa, Shem's descendants were the Arabs and Jews (basically the middle eastern countries) and Japheth's I'm pretty sure moved north,
so if you have a white family, a middle-eastern family, and a black family, and then we still don't know the thnicities of their wives, then you have all of earth's population in those 6 people.

Answer 7

First of all, we're a diverse species. Some of us are just darker or lighter than others.

Secondly, it is quite possible for 2 blacks to have a white (or much lighter) baby.

Answer 8

If you are Christin or not the answers are right in the Bible in fact if you just read the first book Cane by God's command has a mark set upon him. I am not here to offend anyone by saying what is said to be truth in the Bible; as long as it is translated correctly. I feel that is all I should say pertaining to your answer and let you seek out the rest by guidance of God's spirit with yours.

Answer 9

Skin color is related to sun and the pigmentation in the skin; along with genetics. Since man has been on earth about 6000 years, it is easy for that to change (evolve) over time.

Answer 10

All of the Black people I have met have the same skin colour.

Answer 11

properly, there is the medical reason: risk-free practices from the solar, the desire for diet D, and mutations. and there is the clarification my mom gave me as quickly as I requested that query -- no longer in precisely those words -- as a preschooler: "God makes human beings in diverse hues, merely like plant existence. And jointly we make a alluring bouquet." Simplistic, yet age-suited. and that i like it. I instructed my toddlers an identical ingredient. Too undesirable all of us do no longer see it that way.
