If Adam and Eve were the first humans and one race?

Question

then how did other races come about? Shouldn't we all be the same race?

Answer 1

Rochelle, as you are apt at the climate in Europe per this and your other Q&A, I have taken great strides to keep you wisdom in mind in order to obtain the most accurate answer possible by YOUR standards. Furthermore, I wanted to take this opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge you have passed on to me by sharing those FACTS I have obtained thru YOUR Q&A.
Yes, when it is cold people wear appropriate attire which I would assume would be coats, gloves, hats, heavy pants & socks, and boots. This would block the sun rays assisting in one obtaining a paler tone. And as you have just mentioned, the cloud cover, cold climate and lack of sunshine could further the loss of pigment coloration to the skin. In addition, in the warmer months since a person would wear all that tanning cream, as you have mentioned before, to keep each other from blindness, this too could result in even a much paler completion.
I hope I have met YOUR standards Rochelle and have made you proud. Surely everyone here will be in awe at the knowledge you share. As you have instructed me in this wisdom of evolution, I find it not hard to imagine that God knew when Adam and Eve were placed on this earth that thru His nature they would reproduce as He commanded and become vast and as different from each other as the sands of the sea.
I do hope this assist others to know how to get facts and how to be informed of their sources. Just visit Rochelle Q&A for evidence of the above mentioned FACTS.
Thanks again Rochelle for helping me advance to a higher level in my YA.

Answer 2

"These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood" (Genesis 10:32).

This is the concluding verse of the tenth chapter of Genesis, known as "The Table of Nations." It tells us that all the original nations of the world were formed from the descendants of Noah. The basis of this worldwide division was their dispersion at Babel (Genesis 11:9), "every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations" (Genesis 10:5; see also 10:20 and 10:31). Lest anyone think this list of original nations is simply folklore, he should remember that William F. Albright, probably the greatest archaeologist of the twentieth century, called it "an astonishingly accurate document." Many ethnologists still speak of Japhetic, Hamitic, and Semitic peoples and languages.

But what about the origin of races? One searches the Bible in vain for this information, for neither the word nor the concept of "race" appears in the Bible at all! There is no such thing as a race--except the human race! Skin color and other supposed racial characteristics are mere recombinations of innate genetic factors, originally created in Adam and Eve to permit development of different family characteristics as the human race was commanded to multiply and fill the earth (Genesis 1:28; 9:1).

"Race" is strictly an evolutionary concept used by Darwin, Huxley, Haeckel, and the other nineteenth-century evolutionists to rationalize their white racism. But from the beginning it was not so! "God that made the world and all things therein; . . . hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth" (Acts 17:24,26). "Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother?" (Malachi 2:10).

Answer 3

We are all part of the human race, and in steps the explanation provided by evolution that we adapt and transform the qualities necessary for survival. Well that's a possible theory.

Answer 4

We all were one race at one time but it wasn't from the mythical story of Adam & Eve.

Answer 5

at the time when the people began to build the tower of babel, everyone spoke the same language, The reason they were building the tower was so they could reach to the heavens, God didnt like this so He split up everyone by changing the languages they spoke and thier races so they couldnt understand each other so they could not finish the tower.

Answer 6

The world was destroyed after Adam and Eve. You know Noahs Ark? And God did change the Languages

Answer 7

Your question seems to imply that it isn't possible for variability of "races" to have been present in Adam's genes. What is your basis for such an assumption? Perhaps an similar question would be why isn't everyone blonde? Perhaps you are, hence the question...sorry couldn't resist.

Answer 8

One of these days non-believers are going to get tired of asking this. Humans are all one race. There is actually no such thing as race genetically. All you have is slightly different phenotypes caused by a small number of genes. Race is an idea created by men who did not understand there is no such thing.

Answer 9

Races began at the time of Noah and developed after the Tower of Babel.

Answer 10

children aren't clones of their parents. genetics vary. Biblically, this is how it happened....

Adam and Eve existed. what race they were, if they were of difference races is unknown. basically, their lines went on, each child being slightly different. as families developed more, people tended to marry those closest in skin colour to them and so someone who was slightly darker than his brother married a woman who was similar in complection, and so their children had more dominant genes when strong strains of melanin formed.

Noah had three sons: Ham, Shem and Japheth. their names indicate a distinct variance in skin colour. Ham means dark, shem was middle skinned and japheth meant fair, or light. so as they had their children, their children also were slightly different. when they married similar people, soon the stron genetic strands (which are more likely to be hereditary) are developed and passed on, so similar people have simlar children.

the descendands of Ham formed the afro-oriental peoples. they had noticeably darker skins than the other peoples and formed the Egyptian, African, Indigenous (Native American, etc) peoples and an earlier form of asian peoples who's genetic variance contained strands causeing lighter pigments.

the descendants of Japheth formed the Indo-European peoples. the darker married the darker, and the lighter the lighter, hence we have the East Indian, Pakistani, Germanic and northern European peoples. strong genes yada yada

the descendants of Shem formed the semetic peoples: basically, the Jews and Arabs. at Abraham, this line split slightly as Abraham's first son Ishmael was cast off and married cushite (descendants of Ham, black) wives, starting the Arab race from there. Isaac continued similarly to his father and the jewish nation formed.

that help? I suggest you read up more on genetics if you're interested
