1 | where do blacks come from? | Bible general Archive 1 | allan | 4180 | ||
Howdy,Good question.I lean on the vapor canopy theory.The theory states that the world was once surrounded by a canopy of water vapor.Support from this idea can be found in Genesis 1:6 and in Genesis 7:11 the Bible talks about the windows of heaven being opened.Now it is theorized that this layer of vapor shielded the earth more effectivly from the Sun's radiation then today.This would also explain why people lived longer before the flood then today.I will now leave theology and enter the relm of cold hard science.I beleave it is well proven that radiation brings about mutation hence the world after the flood is now being filled with radiation god did not intend leading to a shorter lifespan genetic deseases and mutations because of the body adapting to it's environment.So humans adapted and we have the different races what man looked like before the flood we will find out when ether with science or when we get to heaven.I hoped I helped and I am not sure I am one hundred percent correct so bounce this off others,yours in Christ,Al. | ||||||

I attended a wonderful seminar held by former a former evolutionist scientist. He had a Ken Ham-like ministry, something like Answers in Genesis but it wasn't them. Anyway, he said that any scientist could tell you that physical change can occur genetically within 4 generation. His example was as follows: If you wanted to come up is a dog that is half a dog high and three-quarters of a dog long, you breed dogs of this length and height for 4 generation and you end up with a Dachsund! (I hope I got that right.) Anyway, the point is that if a people were isolated and intermarried, the dominate traits of those people would come forward within 4 generations. Therefore, after the Tower of Babel, when languages were "confused" and people dispersed to different parts of the world, their dominate traits (dark skin, "Asian" eyes, whatever) came forward naturally and the races we have now developed. This would explain the nations/races without any evolution or mutation, and it is still clear that we all came from GOD. | ||||||

Thank you for your note,after reading it I must admend my previous statement. It now seems to me that intermarrage after the tower of Bable is a much more plausable answer.But I think that there is clear evidence of a drastic change in man after the flood e.g. man's shorter life span and genetic disease,of course we are only human and can not know every thing with certainty.One last note I failed to capitalize GOD,s name,My appologies.Your brother in Christ,AL. | ||||||

Most definitely, there were major changes in man after the flood. Many believe in a "canopy" theory, in which there was a canopy of water suspended above the earth from the time of creation until the flood. There is a verse in Genesis, I think it's 1:7, about a firmament above and below, etc. So anyway, if there was a "canopy", then that could explain the changes like shorter life span, etc. If the earth was covered in a protective canopy of water which came down during the time of the flood, then perhaps that is why the life spans were shortened (no more protection from the atmosphere or elements). | ||||||
