I dont get it.

Answer 1

It happened when God smote the tower of Babel.

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. Genesis 11:1-9

Answer 2

My mom is American Indian, my dad is of European descent, somehow I look more Asian though. Features change depending on how our parents looked and where we live. Some may just be random. I have my mother's face, my father's hair. My dad is about normal height, my mom is really short, I am much taller than my mom but not taller than my dad. My ears are smaller then both and stick out. My dad is somewhat left-handed, my mom is right handed, I am just about fully left handed. My dad has long thin fingers, as do I. My mom has thin lips, as do I. We just inherit different things. If both parents were Asian looking their children would be Asian looking. If one parent was white and another was black, the child could look almost like anything.

Look at Portuguese people for instance. Some are black. Others are white. Look at the Egyptian Pharaohs. Some are white, some are black, some are oriental. The more a culture mixes with another culture, the more diversity you will have. Americans look quite diverse because you have Native Americans, Spanish, Dutch, Irish, German, English, etc all coming together. Koreans look very similar though because there are not so many outsiders coming into that group.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

As people began to travel and establish settlements elsewhere their bodies adapted to the different climates. People that were exposed to more sunlight developed skin with more melanin in it, therefore making their skin darker. Poeple exposed to less sunlight developed skin with less melanin. And the same goes for other features as well such as body build, the amount of hair on the body, height, etc. I also strongly believe that the first humans were from Africa or the Middle East, therefore they would have had dark skin to begin with. And of course, there are far more skin colors than the ones you listed. You left out Hispanic, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, among others.

I belive that God created Adam and Eve, and from there people evolved into what we know today.

Answer 5

That is easy.... I am a Christian and biology esp genetics has always interested me...

Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. All three of Noah’s sons were married by the time of the Flood. Everyone alive on this Earth today descends from these three couples.

From a genetic point of view, Noah and his family certainly needed to possess the genetic makeup to produce all the different physical characteristics we see in people today. In order for them to produce descendants with light and dark extremes of skin colors, they were probably light brown.

Light brown people have the potential to have the genetic make up to produce all skin colors - from very light to very dark because the extreme colors are often recessive (hidden) genes.

An excellent book on this topic is One Blood: The Biblical Answer To Racism by Ham, Wieland, and Batten.

There were no divisions of people into different groups until after the Flood when God confused the languages of the people at the Tower of Babel. Even then, the divisions were not made according to physical appearance, but by language. They scattered over the Earth in groups with those who spoke their language.

Bible teachers seem to agree that Caucasian / white people have descended from Japheth, while dark-skinned people descended from Ham, and Middle-Easterners descended from Shem. But these groupings could only have appeared a while after the Tower of Babel because only then would the gene pool have been restricted enough to produce specific so-called racial characteristics.

Hope this helps you!

Answer 6

Genesis 11
The Tower of Babel
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As men moved eastward, [a] they found a plain in Shinar [b] and settled there.
3 They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth."

5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."

8 So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel [c] —because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Answer 7

Creating Adam and Eve in his likeness doesn't mean on the basis of his color 'cos he is a spirit and doesn't have any of these colors. He[God] made man of the soil of the earth and put His spirit[breath] in Adam that made him alive and alike to God. The true nature of us is our spirit which keeps us being alive even after death. We are connected with God by our spirits. I don't know where all these races and colors came from.

Answer 8

Adam and Eve didnt do any of this
Asians created themselves through body mutilation
Blacks didnt appear until after Noahs flood
(thats why scientist cant explain the African DNA it just doesnt work)

I am not going to try to explain where black people came from.
But I do know that one of Jesus' diciples was black and it was not Judas the betrayer.
See if you can figure out which one he was

Answer 9

It doens't make sense that there are multiple races but it DOES make sense that two out of four of the only people on earth went out and "found" wives?

Answer 10

Well you see, that story is not meant to be interpreted litterally. What actually happened is evolution of the human species resulting in slight alteration of the human genome hence creating human races. There is scientific 100% evidence that humans evolved from apes.
