Adam and Eve?

Question

If they exist where did black people come from?

Serious question my teacher is asking me

Answer 1

Eve had an affair with george and had a black baby.

Answer 2

There is no place that says Adam and Eve were white. Since they are the original humans... they had the genetic code for every possibility. They had the genetic make up to create dark or light children. Their gene's were pure.

It is like if you have a bowl of colored sand, ( all the colors you can think of are in there) at a distance, they appear brown or black. Once you go in and start separating out the various grains of sand, (if it were possible) and grouping them by color.... you get different shades and colors.

You know, lighter skinned people started marrying lighter skinned people and darker skinned people started marrying darker skinned people, thus removing (over time) the genes for the other colors.

Answer 3

Where did white, Chinese, and Arabic people come from? The bible doesn't say what color of skin Adam and Eve had. The better question would be the race of Noah and his wife because everyone else but their three kids and their wives died. But it is obvious that there are differences in race that took place. Micro-Evolution is proven in the scientific world and explains how minor differences such as hair and skin color came to existence.

Answer 4

The Bible does not say, but most likely Adam and Eve had a mixture of dominant and recessive genes that determine skin color. This would have made them a middle-brownish color.

Some of their children would have gotten the recessive genes from both parents, making them very light skinned; and some would have gotten dominant genes from both parents, making them dark skinned. The larger number would have had a mixture of dominant and recessive genes in varying ratios.

If two people who only received the dominant genes had children, then they could only produce children with dominant genes, or dark skin. Likewise two people with recessive genes could only produce light skinned children.

If Adam and Eve's children started to group with those who look alike, then these groups would rapidly form into racial divisions; especially if they migrated to other areas where inter-breeding with people of other colors was limited.

Answer 5

What does your question have to do with Adam and Eve?
If you are asking seriously... We all came from Adam and Eve.
If you are asking, where did many of the languages come from, then read the Bible.

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 6

All the different races didn't appear until after the Flood, at the Tower of Babel. Noah had 3 sons - Shem, Ham, and Japheth. White Europeans are descended from Gomer, who was a son of Japheth. The early Europeans kept meticulous geneological records that corroborate the Bible geneologies. Black Africans were descendants of Cush, who was a son of Ham. In fact, the name "Cush" means "black". The Chinese/mongoloid people are descended from the Sinites (where we get the prefix "Sino-"), who were mentioned in the Bible as descendants from Shem. The ancient Israelites were descendants of Eber (where we get the word "Hebrew") who was also a descendant of Shem.
So, there is no need for racism, since the Bible says we are "all of one blood". We are all just distant cousins of each other.

Answer 7

If you are going to believe in the bible, you can ignore Adam and Eve, and focus on Noah and his sons.

According to that story, God killed everyone but them. So given that, how on earth did so many different types of humans exist, each suited for their environment in such a short period of time.

If evolution is not true, why are there Aborigines, Native Americans, Eskimos, Norwegians, Africans, Asians, South Americans and the French?

All of this in 5000 years?

Claiming that Seth was black doesn't really explain why short natives are perfectly suited for life in a Jungle, or Eskimos for the cold.

Answer 8

So your teacher is saying Adam and Eve were'nt black?

Answer 9

As the number of people on the planet grew they started spreading out across the world. As they moved to different areas they adapted to the climate and conditions where they lived and that is how we have changed.

Answer 10

Adam and Eve were lighter skinned. The black skin came later (to a certain people) as a curse from God....

Answer 11

They existed.

The bible doesn't tell us about their color.
If you want to imagine, maybe Adam was a withe guy and Eve was Black. Or maybe the other thing around.

But let me tell you somethin, they existed OK.
