If there were two people to start the human race only then there would be inbreeding, correct? The children of adam and eve would have to have had sex w. either their parents or their grand parents or own kids, correct? How are there different races then? If adam and eve were white then how are there races?

It astounds me how you can ask where the races come from but yet don't question how billions of humans can come from just two. Surely, Adam and Eve would have to participate in incest. I mean think about it. Eve came from Adam. That is like doing your sister. Obviously Adam and Eve are not the Humans we see today. Who knows what they are? Humanity's origin is from Africa Ethiopians are the closes thing to Adam and Eve if they were ever human. Even If Adam and Eve were human, they would have to have a medium. This means they had to be brown and have curly hair. Sort of like Lenny Kravitz or Barack Obama. If a very dark person and a very light person have a kid, it is usually brown. There is a medium where everyone branches off but not really far. The question still remains how can two humans create over millions of other humans without incest. Incest creates disabilities.

Absolutely nothing in Scripture states that Adam and Eve were any particular color, much less white.

The question of races is easy. Since Adam and Eve were designed as the uber-parents of the entire human race, it isn't hard to imagine they would have been designed with a great deal of genetic diversity. Each child born to them (and there were more than 3!) could have possessed completely different traits. As the population of the world grew and spread, some of those traits became isolated from the rest. Isolated traits (hair color, skin color, eye color, height, etc.) would have become inheirant with particular family/clan groups, which would have eventually become associated with geographical locations.

We can still see the differences in the genetic/geographical isolations to this day. While all Asians share many similiar traits, it isn't difficult to determine a Korean person from a Chinese person from a Japanese person. The differences between an African and a Swede are all too obvious!

And yet, while we are all different races, we are all still one people, one species. When two people of different cultures, different skin tones, do marry, how beautiful are their children!

Roses, lilacs, daisys, and baby's breath are all different sizes and colors, but they complement each other very well in one vase. It's a pity we don't learn more from the simple things in life.

God had nothing to do with it. People migrated from Africa to Europe and Asia some tens of thousands of years ago, and being separated from the parent stock by distance and calamities such as ice ages, evolved differently. The time involved was not long enough to render the divisions different enough to be separate species -- just enough to make some visible differences. Genetics has been helpful in analyzing this, and shows that native Americans are descended from the Asian branch of the human family; they crossed over what is now the Bering Strait when the sea level was lower than it is now.

According to the Bible, all people today descended from the survivors of a great Flood - Noah's family, who in turn descended from Adam and Eve (Gen 1:11). There are many stories, from many parts of the world, of a great Flood that only several people survived to repopulate the earth.
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. Some 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, this does not follow from the evidence.
The Bible tells us how the population that descended from Noah's family had one language and were living together and disobeying God's command to "fill the earth" (Gen 9:1, 11:4). God confused their language, causing a break-up of the population into smaller groups, which scattered over the earth (Gen. 11:8-9). Modern genetics shows how, following such a break-up of a population, variations in skin color, for example, can develop in only a few generations. And there is good evidence to show that the various groups of people we have today have NOT been separated for huge periods of time.
One could say there is really only one race - the human race. The Bible teaches us that God has "made from one blood all nations of men" (Acts 17:26. Scripture distinguishes people by tribal or national groupings, not by skin color or physical features. Clearly, though, there are groups of people, who have certain features (e.g. skin color) in common, which distinguish them from other groups. We prefer to call these "people groups" rather than "races," to avoid the evolutionary and racist connotations that have become associated with the word "race."
All peoples can intermarry and produce fertile offspring. This shows that the biological differences between the "races" are not great. In fact, the DNA differences are trivial. The DNA of any two people in the world would typically differ by just 0.2%. Of this, only 6% can be linked to racial categories; the rest is "within race" variation.
This genetic unity means, for instance, that white Americans, although ostensibly far removed from black Americans in phenotype, can sometimes be better tissue matches for them than other black Americans.

Started with two, surely not. Wasn't Eve made from Adams rib, if I'm right we all come from one. It's nonsense build a race from 2, as you say just look at the inbreeding.

Good Questions. First let me remind you that God works in mysterious ways.


Now... the origin of the races to which you refer is described in a little known book of the Bible that was accidently left in a pouch that was strapped to a camel that was sold and then drown when the ark left w/o him.

God did this on purpose so that you would ask this and thus question your faith.

If you don't believe me well, .... let's not even go there. I think you know what I"m getting at.

How do you know that Adam and eve were white, stop assuming things we don't know the color and most people don't care.

This Question has been answered so many times, plus when the great flood came about Noah and his wife and his sons and there wives repopulated the earth. missed a big point there. Plus i really think your a TROLL in Idiots clothing lol

p.s. A mind is a terrible thing to waste

Yup, God no longer in hassle-free terms created Adam and Steve, yet Madam and Eve. the two gay couples have been happy and obedient interior the backyard, yet devil tricked Madam and Steven into improve right into a bad ventriloquist act and occurring the line to play the nightclubs interior the land of Nod, east of Eden. Distraught, Adam and Eve grew to become to a minimum of one yet another, had hetero intercourse, and because cigarettes hadn't been invented yet, desperate to share slightly fruit in the time of after glow. something is his tale.

Very weak argument. Creationist tend to believe in evolutionary adaptation. They would argue that different human races came into being as humans migrated and adapted to their environment. By no means am I a creationist but this is an extremely weak argument that does nothing to dispute their outrageous position.

God created random mutation and mutations that provide a survival benefit are passed on to more surviving young.
