If Adam and Eve were white, where do blacks, hispanics, Asians, etc come from?

And Eve mean "giver of life".............It could also mean the earth "Adam" with the the spirit or force "Eve", made life....metaphorical..........Force/energy meets matter.

Adama means clay or dirt since the people belived that man came from dirt that's why they called man adam.

different races and ethnicities could NOT have evolved in 6000 years n thas what most christians and the bible tell about the creation of the world. IF adam n eve started creatin offsprings much MUCH earlier than that, millions of years earlier, then n only then would humans have had a chance to evolve differentskin colours and features which became part of their DNA. another example of bible being illogical.

actually, racial characteristics can evolve/change over thousands of years, not millions

Even in scripture the word "EL" is a meaning for god.....the verbs attached to it meant even masculine or feminine.......Just like the word for the "spirit and wisdom" was a famine noun...Example was in the Psalms of David....

NO, MINOR traits can change over thousands of years{more than 6000 in any case} but the gentic skin colour, texture, major features, hair can NOT permanently change in a few thousand years.

history says otherwise native americans aquired their unique traits over a period of approximatley 3,000 years after crossing into the Americas from russia and Japan

yes but if youve noticed n studied geneoligy a lil bit, ud know that NATIVE americans are more TANNED than they are born with the skin colour. many native americans are QUIET white when they are born, but get tanned over time because of stayin out in the sun with almost nuthin on a lot. their physical features have not changed much, its only the tan, long hair, and body art that makes em look different from most others. same with mexicans etc.

along with genetic traits for little if any facial and body hair, depending on the group.

yes but im sure you know that BODY hair, as in facial chest back etc, are very melleable gentically speaking, much more than the ones on your head. body hair can easily evolve in colder enviornment and different physical enviornments for protection, sexual competition and keeping warm, they are MINOR traits, gentically speaking. major ones are your normal hair n they only becae straighter{probably due to the fact that almost all the traditional americans never cut them and the weight over time straighten them out even if they are genetically tangled etc. n these days you DO see american indians who cut their hair to have curly hair, even if the hair are innately soft. see simple.

Its just metaphorical!!

Scripture says it was in the midst of 4 rivers.....and where and what is the other rivers????.......No such rivers???

"And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates."

Genesis 3:24 says, "After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life." That sounds to me like no humans have ever returned to Eden since that day. And, even if that weren't to be taken literally, isn't it possible for rivers to dry up over such a long period of time?

i haven't read all the responses. i'd like to say that we are not all the product of a giant family of incestuous freaks. i mean, come on! whites came from white monkeys, blacks from black monkeys, hispanics came from brown monkeys, etc... 😆

o.O

They weren't any of these races. The reason there are so many races now is just from cross breeding. People with certain qualities pass them on and mix them with other qualities. In the beginning people were generally the same, but as time passed they gained certain features that separated them from everyone else. Also, some of the diversity came from the descendants of Cain.

The reason for that is, because you normally see them in Rennasciance paintings, and the painters were white. So they depicted images of people of biblical importance to be white, because thats what they and other Europeans wanted to see.

yeh ... my thoughts exactly

Yep, it has to do with the style of the art of the time. In most Chinese art, women are portrayed with very pale skin. The reason fair skin is desired, is because a rich girl could afford to stay indoors and out of the sun and therefore it was attributed to wealth and oppulence.. As opposed to the peasant/working girls who had a very deep tan.
