chrisitians, If you all came from adam and eve, and how come you have different skin colors?

Question

eve is a clone of adam, god took a rib from adam, and made it eve, therefore, adam and eve are like brother and sister or father and daughter, they committed serious incest when they had sex together,

if you think that you are a son or daughter of adam and eve, then you are officially a bastard according to the law; even that, that doesn't make sense why different christians have different skin colors
Additional Details

monkeys have different shapes and forms, so that is not a surprise that human have all forms according to the evolution.

but if you believe in that non-existing god, then your bible can't explain to us why your skin color is different than other people.

if you people don't believe in evolution, why do you try to use evolution theory to explain this fake story? scientists don't quote bible to prove evolution, but it is funny to read you people talking about genes in order to prove that adam and eve actually existed, that is totally ridiculous!

for "pew potato," skin color has nothing to do with A or B genes, skin color is determined by the melonin concentration that a person's body produce

even among white people, they have different hair color, so your theory is not logic at all

Answer 1

hey, its called evolution.

Answer 2

" then your bible can't explain to us why your skin color is different than other people."


That's not really true. Regardless of where people STARTED (ie: garden of eden in the Christian tradition) they spread out. Different climates call for different skin tones. It's just adaptation.

Even the Catholic church (and the Pope) claim that it's okay to believe in evolution AS LONG AS you accept that God started the process.


"they committed serious incest when they had sex together,"

Have you actually read the Bible? There's incest all over the place in it. 6000 years ago (old testament) and 2000 years ago (new testament) incest was not a big deal. Even the current English royal family is the result of 100s of years of political inbreeding.

"if you think that you are a son or daughter of adam and eve, then you are officially a bastard according to the law;"


Not true. The term "bastard" refers to anyone who's parents were NOT MARRIED at the time of their birth. It has nothing to do with what relation the parents are to each other.


I realize that you're trying to "zing" Christians in a clever way and catch them out with all these questions. I'll also say that I'm NOT a Christian.


I do however, think that if you're trying to be "clever" and "get people" you should actually do some research before you ask your questions.

Answer 3

Virtually all evolutionists would now say that the various people groups did not have separate origins. That is, different people groups did not each evolve from a different group of animals. So they would agree with the biblical creationist that all people groups have come from the same original population. Most scientists now agree that, for modern humans, "race" has little or no biological meaning. This also argues strongly against the idea that the people groups have been evolving separately for long periods.
Of course, they believe that such groups as the Aborigines and the Chinese, have had many tens of thousands of years of separation which accounts for the races. But the DNA of any two people in the world would typically differ by just 0.2 percent.2 Of this, only 6 percent can be linked to racial categories; the rest is "within race" variation.

If all the people on earth were to intermarry freely, and then break into random groups that kept to themselves again, a whole new set of gene combinations could emerge in short order. It may be possible to have almond eyes with black skin, blue eyes with black, tightly curled hair, etc.

Answer 4

Genetics, my friend.
At Babel, not only the languages were confused. Naturally people will go with others they can understand. People moved to different areas of the world...the gene pool thus divided, add a few centuries, and presto!
Dominant characteristics emerge.
How about that?

Think about it. Dominant features of Native Africans, dominant features of Native Americans, dominant features of Asians, etc.
See the picture I'm trying to show you?
It's all in the genes, when people divided because of the language barrier God made at Babel.
So I've mixed a little science with Bible knowledge. Sometimes, after all, science can get something right.

Answer 5

tower of Babel... man was trying to build a tower to heaven, god got pissed, changed everyone's language so they could no longer work together to build it. Everyone was confused. Some believe along with language change, came skin color change. I was raised Christian, no longer am.
P.S. My mother, who is both religous and racist, has a theory that when Cain slew Abel, and god cast him out, Cain asked that a mark be placed on him lest he be killed by the other people who resided in further parts of the world. My mother's theory is of course, that the mark was to make him black. She then believes these other people were monkeys and that's how evolution (and African Americans) fit into the whole Christian equation. Please remember that although she is my mother and I am her daughter we have very different viewpoints and I do not share many of her beliefs.
Since my mother is probably the only one in the world with this theory, another question that might get you thinking, is... Who were these other people that Cain was so afraid of? If Cain was the son of Adam and Eve, there should have been no one else around, except for his own brother's and sisters.

P.S.S. As far as James B, you are wrong. Genesis One gives a synopsis on what God created. Genesis 2 simply gives more details. In Genesis 2 it even states that after the 7th Day, God's work was done.

"And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made." Gen 2:2
It goes on to talk about how he created man and subsequently his creation of woman and how he named them Adam and Eve. They were the first according to good old King James

Answer 6

Adam and Eve were not the first human beings capable to live according to a code of practice entailing some liabilities for living in a more enlightened heavenly abode.Life had started much earlier in different parts of the world in which mankind went through a long period of evolution to attain that capacity of intellectual sublime during this period of evolution.The descent from all different evolutions,the mankind as species grew into different colours and confugiration but intellectual capacity of all species to the heavenly teachings is the same by and large;as such considered to be one but they do not have one ancestor.

Answer 7

We all have the same basic skin color, just different amounts of it. (Not a very big difference, is it?) How long would it take to get all the variation in the amount of skin color we see among people today? A million years? No. A thousand years? No. Answer: just one generation!

Let’s see how that works. The amount of skin color we have depends on at least two pairs of genes. Let’s call these genes A and B. People with the darkest skin color have genes AABB as their genotype (set of genes for a trait); those with very light skins have aabb. People with two “capital-letter” genes would be “medium-skinned,” and those with one or three such genes would be a shade lighter or a shade darker.

Suppose we start with two medium-skinned parents, AaBb. Less than half (only 6 of the 16 combinations) would be medium-skinned like their parents. Four each would be a shade darker or lighter. One in 16 of the children of medium-skinned parents (AaBb) would have the darkest possible skin color (AABB), while the chances are also 1 in 16 that a brother or sister will have the very lightest skin color (aabb).

Starting with medium-skinned parents (AaBb), it would take only one generation to produce all the variation we see in human skin color today. In fact, this is the normal situation in India today. Some Indians are as dark as the darkest Africans, and some—perhaps a brother or sister in the same family—as light as the lightest Europeans. I once knew a family from India that included members with every major skin color you could see anywhere in the world.

But now notice what happens if human groups were isolated after creation. If those with very dark skins (AABB) migrate into the same areas and/or marry only those with very dark skins, then all their children will have very dark skins. (AABB is the only possible combination of AB egg and sperm cells, which are the only types that can be produced by AABB parents.) Similarly, parents with very light skins (aabb) can have only very light-skinned children, since they don’t have any A or B genes to pass on. Even certain medium-skinned parents (AAbb or aaBB) can get “locked-in” to having only medium-skinned children, like the Orientals, Polynesians, and some of my ancestors, the Native Americans.

Answer 8

Adam and Eve, most likely looked middle brown. They would have had a range of genetic information which would account for children from light to dark ( a lower or high amount of melanin). When the different and distinct races emerged, it was caused by a reduction (not an increase, thus not evolution) of genetic information. The tower of Babel would certainly have helped cause a break up of the gene pool.

Answer 9

You want to know why we all have different skin color if we came from just two people? First off, there was Adam and eve, they had sons and daughters. Along the way Noah was born. He had three sons(my three sons , if any of you folk remember the t.v. series). Then came the flood and wiped everyone off the face of the earth, except Noah and his family. Once they settled onto dry land again, Noah and his family went forth and became fruitful and multiplied. Thus the tower of babel. This takes care of the language situation. Now your question was about skin color, not language. If you have ever studied biology, then you would know the answer to your own question .

Answer 10

Nevermind. I had hopes that others would answer it.

See, the thing is that at the time the gene pool was not messed up via perfect. So in reality there was no real incest, and the same went for their kids. and then as time went on the gene pool messed up and God then told the people that it was wrong to do this, because it could cause problems.

So the thing about the races are the Tower of Babel. Now when God split them up, He sent them by the sons of Noah and if you will read you'll see that their names had meaning and it is accepted that where God sent them he also changed them into eurpoean, african and asian. then after time went on again these breeded and thus our world today

that is the explanatiion in lamen terms

Answer 11

I believe that our skin color has changed over the years to adapt to wherever the person is
like the ppl in Africa have dark skin and coarse hair to adapt to where they live, whereas ppl in colder areas like Northern Europe are very white

BTW
Adam and Eve are not brother and sister did he give birth to her ?!
and there were no rules when Cain killed Abel was he put in jail?
how would you have come along if they didn't have sex!!
