Bible Question: how can the bible say Adam and eve are all of our ancestors. then the bible says Noah his three sons and there family were the next propagators of earth. you have blacks whites Asian and many other differn,t groups on earth. doesn't make since |
Bible Answer: Noah and his sons came from the lineage of Adam. And all of earth came from Noah and his sons. By the time of the flood many believe each of Noah's sons had taken a particular characteristic of various races carry today. Example I have no oriental background but when I was younger my eyes carried a definite oriental appearance. Had I married someone that enhanced that even more I'm sure our children would be mistaken for orientals. Even more than I was. But the facts remain all races come from the same stock. We are all the same just but with different characteristics that we have learned to associate with race instead of fact we are all of the same stock. |
