Subject: are these all other races of people, |
Bible Note: You assume God created the races at the creation. However scripture does not say that, it says God created Adam and Eve. They had children. Cains wife was from the land of Nod. But if the creation story is right she was still of the lineage of Adam and Eve. Some theologians speculate that there could of been as high as 100,000 people by this time if you consider lenght of life and such. But in any case the only mankind that was on Noah's Ark was Noah, his wife, his sons and their wives. No where in scripture is there a suggestion of others. Gen 7:21 tells all mankind excluding Noah and family were killed in the flood. That leaves only one explanation for the races. They came about from the differences of Noah's sons. We know enviroment plays a hugh role in our physical development and since scripture is truth that can be the only explanation. |
