Are we all descendants of Noah?

A little over 200 years ago, man thought the world was flat.  Their world had "limits" for them to believe that.  At the time of Noahs flood, their world, the area they knew around them was even a smaller area.  The flood of Noah was just in the area that Noah knew and lived. I'm sure most Christians don't belive in evolution,..so WHY would one make a statement that all the races came from Noah?  Races do NOT evolve. Noah was of a TRIBE of certian people.  Noah was a decendent from Adam.  The name Adam means ruddy complected,..to see blush in the face.  Some need to reread Genesis.  On the sixth day God made both man AND woman.  He gave these peoples to fish and hunt.(the races)...Then on the seventh day God rested,...and THEN He saw He had no man to till the ground. That's when God made Adam,..for the garden.  Then God saw that Adam was alone, so God made from Adams rib a woman especially for him.  Rib means curve,...like in our Helixs curve today;..DNA. Bone of Adams bone, flesh of his flesh.\nThe flood of Noah was in the area that Noah lived,...and it was brought on because of the geber/giants, offspring of the fallen angels.God sent the flood to that area to rid it of the giants.   God shook this earth way before the flood of Noah and way before He made man flesh. Just another thought;...When Noah sent out the dove, the dove brought back an olive leaf.  IF the flood totally destroyed all the earth, then how does a olive tree grow and set forth leaves in such a short time?...  Notice too how many times seven is used?  Seven means Spiritual Perfection.

yes, if you believe in the story of the great flood and that god created all the beasts in one day, you would have to say that every species alive today was on the ark, unless you believe in both the tale of noah and evolution (and would say that species evolved after the flood).

We all came from GOD.

Not always. Remember the Flood in Genesis? Or the hurricane in New Orleans? Or the influenza epidemic in the early 1900's? But God is expanding his creation, just not always. He told Abraham that his descendents would be as numorous as the grains of sand. Humans have certainly expanded over the years.

First off it was a local flood. So not every specie was in that area. They could have been infants. \n\nNoah’s deluge. To understand you have to start with Gen.6:1.\nGen.6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, \nThe word “men” is Heb. (ha-adham) means “the man Adam” or his progeny. The word “them” is referring to Adam and Eve. The scripture is talking about Adam and Eve’s clan and not mankind. Mankind a subject for another time. \nGen.6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. \nThe term “sons of God” means angels or fallen angels. The word “men” again means Adam and Eve’s progeny or clan. Satan was trying to corrupt God’s plan. That is, from umbilical cord to umbilical cord would come Christ. This is why Eve is called “the mother of all living”.\nGen.6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. \nThe word “perfect” Heb. (tamin) means “without blemish as to breed or pedigree”.\nGen.6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. \nThe word “earth” Heb. (erets) means “land”, not the whole earth. Besides God says, “to destroy all flesh” in Adam’s clan.\nGen.7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. \nGen.8:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. \nIf the entire globe had been under water 150 days, where did this olive leaf (pluckt off) come from.\nGen 9:11  And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. \nRemember what God said in Gen.6:17, “to destroy all flesh”. Here God makes a covenant with Noah and his sons. Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more. Neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. Two floods. One for flesh, Noah’s deluge. One to destroy the earth back in Gen.1:2. The global flood is a subject for another time.\nSome consider the plateau of Pamir to be the original Eden. This probably was the homeland of Adam's descendants up until the time of the Flood. Today it’s known as the Tarim Basin or Eastern Turkestan. This region is surrounded by a ridge of very high mountains forming a gigantic basin in the midst of them. It measures 1,000 miles long and is about 350 miles wide.  \nUssher’s Chronology says 2348 B.C., Davidson says November 2345 B.C. to November 2344 B.C. for Noah’s deluge.\nRecords of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia., their King Lists date to about 3350 B.C., and show an ongoing civilization well through the period of the flood. Egypt felt nothing of the deluge, they had an uninterrupted succession of Dynasties. China's civilization during the Yao Dynasty (between 2400 B.C. – 2200 B.C.) with no record of a cataclysmic interruption. \nSo Noah’s deluge was a local flood. But there was a global flood in Gen.1:2. Study II Pet.3:5-7,  Jer.4:23-27.\nPsa.104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. Psa.104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. \nGen 1:6  And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

There was an interesting documentary on this a few days ago on Discovery Times on cable I watched the other day that explains it to my satisfaction at the time......When Adam and Eve were forged by God and cast out of the Garden of Eden and Cain and Able were born it is theorized there were other tribal humans living outside the Garden of Eden and when the groups intermixed the "Holy" families were born under one bloodline......Those folks were of somewhat African and Middle Eastern ancestry in the countries we know of as today.........And hence the variety of complexions in the human race today as we know it

The Bible was written by ancient people who also believed  that the Earth was flat. They lacked the intelligence to comprehend the things that they wrote about and they made  mistakes.  If 21st century man witnessed the things that they saw we would not call it God. If you were alive then and had a cigarette lighter and flicked it, everyone would call you God because you could make fire come from your hands. If we all came from Adam & Eve, where did Chinese, Hispanic, or Aborigines people come from?  There are over 1 million different species of insects, how did Noah get to the Amazon Rain Forest to gather some of them? I'm not 100% certain that we came from apes but the World is loaded with religion disagreement problems because we have been forced to accept a God concept from people who had no idea as to what was going on.

Gen. 9:18,19 "Noah's sons who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japhet..These three were Noah's sons, and from these was all the earth's population spread abroad." (After God destroyed the ungodly world by means of a global flood in Noah's day, the earth's new population, including all the races known today, developed from the offspring of Noah's three son's and their wives.

Because they were the most wicked generation in human history.  Only the last generation before the end of the world will rival Noah's generation.  In short, they deserved it.

We can all trace our ancestry to Africa. We are an African species.

Mankind did not land on Earth. Rather, we evolved from lifeforms already present on the Earth. Our evolutionary roots can be traced a few million years back and the species that most closely resembles us in terms of genetic makeup(which is also most probably the one from which we completed the final stage of evolution) is the chimpanzee.

everyone in the americas is the descendant of immigrants, unless you are a first-generation immigrant. the so-called "native americans" and "first citizens" as well as the "pre-columbian indians" migrated across a land-bridge between alaska and siberia (across what is now the Bering Strait) between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago.

No Jews can trace their lineage back that far, due to the destruction of Jerusalem around A.D. 70. If he claims to be descended from Ishmael or Esau, though, I suppose that may be possible. But I doubt it.

Probably, they were born just like anyone else, but no one was keeping records yet, and, well, memory can go back only so far.  I seriously doubt that they were "the FIRST" humans on the planet, thus I doubt that they are the parents of EVERYONE.  At any rate, I'll bet they both had navels due to the same reasons everyone else does.
