If Adam and Eve were the first humans...

[QUOTE="Curlyfrii87"]

[QUOTE="Teenaged"]I don't think it suggests otherwise though.Teenaged

Maybe not directly, but if you look close enough you might find that it does.

Like when Cain was banished from Eden, he was wondering the wilderness and from out of nowhere, he found a wife! :o Adam and Eve only had 3 kids, all of which were boys. It doesn't directly suggest it no, but some events point that way.

I was given exact verses from Evangelists were it said that Adam and Eve also had daughters if I remember correctly.Teenaged

I've never heard that before. The bible recordes 3 boys, Cain, Able, and Seth. Do you know the verse? (Not saying i don't believe that someone told you that, just i've never read such a thing. :P )

It means that billions of people over the course of human life have had sex with members of their own family.Legendaryscmt

That's how it is either way. . .

Anywho, I think the main YEC answer is that micro-evolution helped create different races after the All-Explaining Flood of Noah.

"And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters"

And living 800 years I'd be willing to bet he kept busy.

two little people can have a baby that grows up and be normal size and normal size people can have little people. WHY? because that's how God wanted that person to be and the same goes for the different races in the world. God knew everything about everyone long before they were born.jaredm80

I once tried to figure out how many people could have been on the earth before the flood. I once heard (which means it may or may not be true) that Jewish tradition states Adam and Even had 62 children. If these children each had 40 children, each of these had 20 children, and continued to have 20 children with each generation then by the time of the flood there could have been trillions of people upon the earth. No wonder Cain would have need to a mark on his head in order to be recognized for his sin... o.0

Oh, believe me, I was just speculating myself. :P I don't believe in the flood either. And I didn't know that version.

[QUOTE="mindstorm"]All of the people before the flood lived to be something like 600 to 969 years old so it's not a far-fetched idea. Btw, I was only using speculation in showing the possibilities. Not saying I believe it to be true beyond a shadow of a doubt.Teenaged

Oh, believe me, I was just speculating myself. :P I don't believe in the flood either. And I didn't know that version.

[QUOTE="mindstorm"][QUOTE="Teenaged"]But still judging by the belief that Adam lived 800 years and we live a maximum of 100 then the number must have been lowering little by little or it could be some specific time where our lives got shortened. Thus we cannot know the life-span of each of those people, nor their population.Teenaged

Oh and mindstorm isn't there some verse in Genesis that states when the life span of humans was limited to 120 years? (I might just be imagining that).

Genesis 5 gives the genealogy of Adam complete with the ages that the principal fathers lived to when they died. Methusalah was 960 when she died and Noah was 950.

Oh and mindstorm isn't there some verse in Genesis that states when the life span of humans was limited to 120 years? (I might just be imagining that).

Yes. Genesis 6:3 states, "Then the LORD said, 'My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal ; his days will be a hundred and twenty years'"

There is more to a "race" than having darker or lighter skin. Factors such as hormone levels and facial structure are pretty distinct between races.

How many african americans do you see with naturally straight hair?

My point is that even if a group of white people moved to Africa and lived there for a few thousand years, they would not change much physically. Even if their skin became darker (which i'm not sure about because a heavy tan is not inheritable), they would still show all the characteristics of an white person.

And if all of humanity descended from them then how come there are so many different races and forms of human beings? Is it scientifically possible?

[QUOTE="fatzebra"][QUOTE="mindstorm"]Ever read the Tower of Babel story? The people were separated by language barriers and went their separate ways. Either God also changed their race too or due to adaption to the environment and incest (a.k.a. evolution on a small scale) there came the different races.mindstorm

Adam and Eve are only symbols of early humans. God probably created more because he is tight like that. If He exists that is.da_carnivore

Maybe adam was black, and Eve was white?
