The title of this thread is my question to all those that believe in the Bible's version of creation.

If Adam and Eve were created in the fashion described in the Bible, what race were they and how did all the other races come into existence?

'Cause there isn't such thing as Adam n Eve and God

Or at least I think

But if the stories in the BIBLE WERE TRUE like Noah's arc, wouldn't we be ALL DESCENDANTS OF NOAH

I thought so

No we're ALL different

And if we were descendants from Noah, why do we have Asians and African Americans???

There are no races !!
We are all human with a few diferences !

As long as the claim is we are all different races.
We wil never learn to coexist !!

peace !!

Pigment Perhaps?
And possibly location of earth which gets more or less sunlight.

Great question!

I'm hoping to get some insight on this myself.

There is very interesting information to explore concerning the mapping of the human genome and the international DNA samples study. People are often more related, here in the US, to someone who looks markedly different than to someone with similiar skin tone, hair/eye coloring, etc. This seems to even cross racial lines, with one example in an elementary school classroom which showed two Asian children with closer genetic matches to Caucasian and black children than one another!

Completely fascinating. I surmise that the racial differences are superficial and exaggerated by cultural and ethnic differences.

I believe race is an illusion, skin-deep. Anyone from any race can donate blood and organs to others based on tissue-matching almost entirely, and with very little consideration for race except in a few select situations, like sickle-cell anemia and so forth.

Kids from any race can be adopted by any other, even across cultural lines and continents without any detrimental effect genetically, all things being equal such as the fitness of parents and an otherwise healthy environment.

I have said this one time too many...

PLEASE stop coupling religion and creation. religions creation is just a perspective, not the whole concept.

I see where you're coming from mate but there is one problem with your question.

Namely that it infers the different races seen in humans indicate that we've evolved.

But the different shades, body types, physical statures and so on are not examples of different species, so to get our various races we haven't evolved. We know we are the same species because we can all mate with one another and produce offspring.

Does that makes sense?

Different races implies we've adapted physically to our environment but not changed species.

So technically we could have been created then adapted.

Now IF we had split into two distinctly separate species, then the whole creation/evolution debate would be very interesting.

because maybe creation and evolution both exist?

If? Can that even be questioned? What functional alternative is there to Creation?

First of all there isn't any "Race", and from the biblical epic is the explanation,
the sons of Adam, and also Noah, and then the 'Almighty' to Abraham and 'Most-high GOD'... then there's the Nations known to the Israelites with Solomon, in all these is a view to the entirety of Humanity.

If there is a "Race" view in Bible it is at the end in the Revelation with Chapter 6, the so called "Four horsemen"... a white, a red, a black, and a pale.

The Tower of Babylon is your answer. People were divided at that time.

It’s called the tower of Babel....that’s where I believe all differences came from. They (the same people) were scattered across the face of the earth, while their languages was changed.

so lets all be blinded and pretend we all carbon copys instead of enjoying the facts that we are different with different strenths and weaknes

i`d hate to see a world were we were all the same. how boring

peace (what ever race you may be)

as for the op religion has it covered with the babel tower

There was no adam and eve. There were africans that immigrated to the northern hemisphere, and due to the lack of sunlight became lighter. Later down the time line, a variety of the races we see today came into fruition.
