Okay Noah could have been brown but that doesnt mean he was black.

Actually before the flood there were no races. Noah's grandson Cush, the oldest son of Ham was the first black man. As a matter of fact, Cush means black. His descendants migrated to the area that we now know as Ethiopia.

In Genesis 11 we read about how God confounded the languages at Babel. From this point different cultures would form among those who spoke similar languages.

This is a great question, with an easy answer. I saw a program that talked about the genetic potential of eight people (Noah and everyone in the Ark), it detailed that within a few generations the genetic make up of such a few individuals is enough to get all the variations needed in order to have the different races we see today. But, we are overlooking the most important fact! if God had the power to create such a flood, I'm sure he gave noah and the survivors all the traits necessary for the earth to have such a wide diversity. Some times we get caught up in the little details and forget the big picture and the power of God. I tell people who have a hard time believing that the Bible is the true word of God by saying that if God was so powerful as to create a universe, I'm sure that creating a book and maintaining it should not be a problem. Cheers

If Noah existed, and someone like him quite possibly did, he would now be said to live in Iraq. Yes, Iraq. The "great flood" was probably simultaneous floods in the Tigris and Euphrates rivers which covered the land in between and both sides. Both these rivers flow more or less parallel and rise in the same region so a simultaneous flood is possible, even probable over time. Look at a map.

This land is very flat and is therefore easily flooded. It would look like the flood had covered the whole world to a peasant of 5000 or 6000 years ago. It is also quite possible that it happened more than once. There is geological and independent historical evidence of relatively recent large floods in these rivers, evidence which is quite clear and consists of changes in their course.

If the date of creation as calculated by Bishop Ussher was 4004BC, then by adding the very clear ages of the patriarchs before Noah we find that the great flood as set out in the Bible happened a few hundred years after the three big pyramids at Giza in Egypt were built. The king lists of Egypt are also quite clear and are quite consistent with the Great Pyramid being built about 2560BC, which is also datable by other means.

Since the Egyptians didn't notice that they had all been drowned, the flood either did not happen or it was confined to the Tigris-Euphrates rivers or somewhere else.

Black people in Africa, Australia, New Guinea, the Chinese in China, the Europeans in Europe, the Indians in India and the native Americans in the Americas were like the Egyptians, they did not notice that flood either. Aboriginal Australians are not closely related to the peoples of Africa even though both are dark skinned, as far as is known they are more closely related to Europeans.

The story of Noah as set out in Genesis is just a myth, based on a local disaster perhaps 6000 years ago.

Edit - Just looked at the other answers. I've rarely seen such claptrap. You are confused because you have been lied to and most of the answers you got are trying to reconcile those lies with the facts by inventing unlikely scenarios of rapid human mutation. Does not work and most biologists and geneticists would fall about laughing. Siberian tiger an albino - what rot.

Its Logical To Think That Noah And His Group Were Not The Only Survivors, Otherwise The Whole World Would Have Been of The Jewish Race.

The bible said Noah's family but the bible never mentions the color of any of the families. It only gives names, I haven't read a King James Edition yet that made mention of the color of a family. And lets just ay for a minute the Noah didn't have any black family members. Did he have an Islamic Relatives? Can't anser that either. So the questions is, Black well some black peopel are darken then others so where the first black really black as in south americans? Or were they dark skinned Islum's or Iranians, there are allot of middle eastern people that have been confused as being black.
SO let say he didn't have and black family memebers just his family, and we really don't know the origin of his family, but we do know that he was in the europian countinents.
So his family was saved along with the animals, Which made Noah's family the largest Incest family in the bible. It must have been because they were the only survivors.
So through incest, begot incest, until the family grew so large that thier were genes that darkend some of his family's skin to appear as they were black. The bible says that we are all bothers and sisters, because we are god's chilgren, or is it because all the incest to recreate man.
So know we have dark skinned people and as the population grew and people moved into southern continents their skin became darker due to the heat and genes. So now we have blacks. And as it grew the blacks were bread with more blacks to get darker blacks and then they bread with whites and are still black.
The real story about the bible is that if you had all the information about what happened, and the ethnic groups of people that were in Noah's family and the cross breeding and incest and other things you could make more sense of it all.
But the fact of the matter is we can only make assumed guesses about how thing took place and what really happened.
I hope that his bit of insite help you!

Do not start at Noah's family, get back to the begginning.

Some scientist think all the races comes from the people from Africa. That is called the Single Origin Hipothesis. If they are right Adam and Eve, or just one of those two was created black by God in Genesis 1 & 2.

Then, after several centuries, three women descendents of Adam and Eve married the three sons of Noah. Were all three of the same race or one of them had the genes required for asiatic race, other for caucasican race, while the third for the black race. The three sons of Noah then had genes required to complete whatever race I left out.

If the Single Origin Hipothesis is not correct, then God simply used another method not discovered by science yet.

Hope that I helped you. Please feedback.

I hope to read the entire diatribe later, but for now, pieces of it make sense to me. Yes, all governments are hateful, and yes, peace would be a wonderful thing. I don't think many Americans believe that Iranians are bad people. Most of us realize that it's just the government that is evil. We don't WANT to go to war with Iran. But that doesn't mean that it won't happen. Forgetting about past conflicts is ok if there's a new way of acting. The concern that most Americans have is that the new government in Iran is the same as the old government in Iran, and these people are dangerous. If Iran had a different government, I think Americans would completely forget about the hostages in 1980. It is a long time ago. But we are also concerned that the same people run the government as took the hostages back then, so we don't trust them. We are at peace with Japan, yet the Japanese once killed thousands of Americans. We are at peace with Germany despite a horrible history. We SHOULD be at peace with Iran, but the Iranian government continues the same threats they did 25 years ago. It is not the U.S. who is most to blame for the bad relations.

People say they were white but they also say Jesus was white. He wasn't Jesus was a Jew. There is no proof as to the color of their skin and it doesn't really matter. I think that no matter what race Noah's family was the genes to form other races was in their blood. Who knows Noah's true race? How about his wife's or his son's wives? See what i mean the genes were there. After the flood they started migrating again and pretty soon they become isolated from the others and they started to pass certain genes to their offspring and soon you have a new race. I think this explains why some are darker and some lighter in the same generations of families as well. For example my brother being a deeper more tan looking than myself being very fair skinned. Not to be offensive but if you look at some black (for lack of a better term at the moment)families you see some that have a very dark color and some that are much lighter in the same family (brother sister and same parents). Its just varying genetics. I think God knew what he was doing and who was going to survive and put in them the genetics to form all races and as I believe this I think its wrong to be racist b/c we all come from the same creator

I think this is one of the great Mysteries of the Bible and the God head that we might not understand and this might be for our own good until God thinks that it is important enough for us to understand. I think it's most important not to get fixed upon wondering how this happened or that happened because as humans we are not capable of understanding the /mysteries of God right now. The bible speaks a lot in symbolic terms also. So when we here a story from the bible it is to teach us something. I do feel like the flood took place to. Through God all things are possible and nothing is impossible. I just think this.But some things will not be revealed to us until God feels like we are ready I guess. Thank you and God Bless you.

According to the Bible, all humans on earth today are descended from Noah and his wife, his three sons and their wives, and before that from Adam and Eve (Genesis 1-11). 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. Many 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, as we shall see, this does not follow from the biological evidence.

The Bible tells us how the population that descended from Noah’s family had one language and by living in one place were disobeying God’s command to ‘fill the earth’ (Genesis 9:1, 11:4). God confused their language, causing a break-up of the population into smaller groups which scattered over the earth (Genesis 11:8-9). Modern genetics show how, following such a break-up of a population, variations in skin color, for example, can develop in only a few generations. There is good evidence that the various people groups we have today have not been separated for huge periods of time.
