Beginning of man question, Adam & Eve?

Question

If there were only two people in the beginning of man then how do we have all the different races of people we have today?

Not trying to offend anyone, just always been curious

Answer 1

You can find the answer to your question in the 10 chapter of Genesis as well as the race of Noah wife in Numbers 12:1.

As for the evolution, the more science tries to disprove creation the more they prove it.

For the coexistence of humans and dinosaurs just browse the web typing in: humans coexist with dinosaurs you will be surprised at the data out there.

I saw an interesting finding in the new on TV about mtDNA, mitochondrial DNA, testing but I can’t remember which station or news program so I’ll just list some web sites or searches you can try if you like.
The scientific study began back in 1987 to prove the theory that humans existed for hundreds of thousands of year so mtDna, also called maternal ancestry DNA, was used for this study. The results are termed "the shrinking date of Eve" since the years started out around 140,000 to 700,000 and now are down to approx 6500.

In addition to these findings they discovered that all modern humans come from one woman, dubbed "Mitochondrial Eve". Well you can imagine that that didn't go over well, for the evolutionist anyway. The scientific outcome is:
1: There really was only one couple in the beginning or
2: All modern humans are descended from only a small
population existing at one time. All other ‘mitochondrial
lines’ have become extinct whenever a line had no female
offspring. ‘Mitochondrial Eve’ is the only one of the original
population in whose offspring there has been a continuous
supply of female descendants in each generation. Any of
the other women living alongside her could have
contributed nuclear DNA to today’s populations, via their
sons.
Just go to http://who2.com/mitochondrialeve.html for some good links or browse the web again typing in mtDNA and Mitochondrial Eve

Of course as usual this is not widely published.

Who knew?
PS: Thumbs downs really help me know I've hit a nerve so go for it. I love it.

TOMMY, Where's your sources? Love to check it out. As the 2 male theory, I find that awesome, bet one was a watermelon.
Would like to check out a lot of stuff tho but I need to be 30-50 people

Answer 2

There is always something could be added to the answers you already have. I don't want to add anything but would like to point out what no one has mentioned so far:

That is that the Out of Africa theory just possibly is beginning to fall apart if you note current studies. Also there is about 50,000 years difference between the mDNA eve and the earliest male sample. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder but this is pushing it!

Another sleeper is the fact that work on tracking the male, to the extent that they have traced the female, may show a split which would indicate two males. Neither science or religion wants to play with that.

Answer 3

The races of man actually stem from the Tower of Babel story---after the Great Flood. IN the generation following the Great Flood, man is said to have started work on a grand tower to reach the heavens. God didn't like this idea, so came down, scattered his children all over the world and confused the only language of the time----at least according to the book of genesis.

From the Book of Adam and Eve---a scripture not in the biblical collection, we do learn that Eve was Adam's second wife. In Genesis 1:26, it is written that man and woman (Lillith) were created on the 6th day at the same time.

Lillith is said to have left Adam when he demanded that she be 'subserviant' to him. Later tradition made her into a demon. After Lillith left, Adam was saddened; and to alleve this heart ache, God give Adam what he wanted. He created Eve from Adam.

Genesis is often times a confusing mythos, since it actually creates more questions than what it really answers.

Like if Adam and Eve were the only people where did all the wives for their ancestors come from?!? One answer from another none biblical text, the book of Jubeliee, is that they took to wife their sisters. Which was another reason for the Flood to cleanse the earth of all the 'genetic mutations' stemming from all the incest. Another reason that incest later became a MAJOR taboo.

Answer 4

Adam and Eve were sent down to Earth only 38,000 years ago. The six colored races (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and indigo) appeared half a million years ago. It was one of the missions of Adam and Eve to establish the Violet Race on Earth.

The answers to all your questions regarding this amazing couple can be found in the book Adam and Eve - A Tragic Love Story. This is a serious and scholarly work and I highly recommend it. Good luck to you!

Answer 5

Well, the Adam and Eve story was an ancient myth.

It's not rational to believe in this story when science discovers the complexity of human evolution and the variety in the human genome. Women do not come out of spare body parts, unless you mean a uterus (sorry men!). Two people do not reproduce a species, and races are a result of human populations adapting to specific environments due to natural selection.

Answer 6

Fast forward if you will to the tower of babel, around then, they all lived in the same place, there were no marriage restrictions so it would have kept the skin color about the same. then with the confusion of languages, it forced the groups apart, either through distrust or family ties. it was unlikely that each small group carried a broad range of skin colors. with each group reproducing, it eliminates the balance and people will tend toward one color.

Natural selection, normally thought to be an evolutionary term, but its used by creationists too, the difference here is that it acts on genes ALREADY PRESENT, for example, africa. light skinned people are more succeptable to skin cancer than darker skined people and therefore the dark skinned people would be more appropriate for the area.

overall, the groupings of people came about from climate and natural selection that (and this is the important distinction) acted on genes alrady present. it wasnt billions of years of living in a cave, it was all a part of a carefully laid plan installed by our creator

Answer 7

you're perplexing an artists depiction of activities with actuality. contained on the subject of Adam and Eve, artists have continually used fashions and that they used fashions around them: white artist = white Adam and Eve on the grounds that's who they knew. As for "cave adult adult males" there are 2 problems with the question. First, which cave adult adult males? Human maintains to be have been recent in caves at a number of markedly diverse latitudes and masking a term which could probable span properly over one hundred,000 years. 2nd, who stated they're white? we don't discover pores and skin using fact it would not final that long, so any depictions you spot of cavemen will returned be an artists rendering and those are oftentimes in user-friendly terms completed for fairly undesirable shows on PBS or Discovery that confuse information and forget the stressful technological information.

Answer 8

No one ever said they were the only two, just the first. There were quite likely others as well, come at a near later time. The account as written, though, was about what happened in the Garden, so the details of anything else is not written.

This is one typical of Hebraic styles of writing - stick to the main idea and account and not add in the extra stuff.

Answer 9

If there were only two people in the beginning of man then how do we have all the different races of people we have today?

the short answer is in the account of "the Tower of babel"

when the Lord smote man because of his pride, so man was confounded by language and likeness (ethnic,color, so one).
"birds of a feather flock together" so it was at Babel. people began to gather with those they looked like and understood.

this is the simple short answer. there are many reasons why that we can study ant trace back in history & arciology.

Answer 10

The Bible tell us in, Acts 17:26: "God made out of one man Adam every nation of men, to dwell upon the entire surface of the earth." So, regardless of what races make up a nation, they all are offspring of Adam.

Gen. 9:18,19: "Noah's sons who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth...These three were Noah's sons, and from these was all the earth's population spread abroad." After God destroyed the ungodly world by means of a global flood in Noah's day, the earth's new population, including all the races known today, developed from the offspring of Noah's three sons and their wives.

All men living today belong to a single species, Homosapiens, and are derived from a common stock...Biological differences between human beings are due to differences in hereditary constitution and to the influence of the environment on this genetic potential. Early in human history, when a group of people were isolated from others and married within the group, certain distinctive combinations of genetic traits were emphasized in their offspring.

From which of Noah's offspring did the blacks descend? "The sons of Cush another one of Ham's sons were Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca." Gen. 10:6,7 Later Biblical references to Cush are usually equivalent to Ethiopia. Seba is later used when referring to another people in the eastern part of Africa and evidently close to Ethiopia. Isa. 43:3.
