Maybe Adam and eve were not the only people. Outside of garden eden there were other people. Dont forget alot of the ancient information was taken out of bible, so maybe we are missing information.

Actually it depends on what you believe in. some say Adam and eve because they are relegious. but it depends

"this question is not about to know the true color of adam and eve actually but to know if humans starts with adam and eve or maybe from ape. All i want to know is how did it happen that there are lots of races."\n\nThe initial question is the question of creationism vs. evolution.  That will continue to be debated until Jesus comes again and we can all get the definitive answer.\n\nAs to why there are so many races, there are many different geographical areas in the world and our physical features have adapted over many generations to allow us to survive in those areas.  \n\nFrom a spiritual point of view:  God wants us to learn is tolerance, patience, understanding and acceptance.  What better way for His children to learn to be more godly (according to His Word - the Bible) than to make us physically different.   Accepting others who look different has been a learning and growing experience for me and I have had some of the most loving and caring friendships with those who "look" different than I.\n\nMy pastor said it best:  God only made two models of people:  male and female.  Then He created the available options for those models.  But underneath it all, we are all God's children, loved equally by God.

Regligous wise, God created Adam and Eve so that they may procreate and generations should follow, what you can infer from this is that God wants us to multiply so that he (GOD) could have all of us (his children) live life for him...in his glory...God made me in his image, God made my boyfriend in his image, imagine what it would be like for my boyfriend and I have a child and what he/she would look like, and what they would be like when they get older with the teaching of God instilled in their life...Good luck on your paper.

That is a great question that we will unfortunately never find the accurate answer to.\nAlthough, it only says in the Bible that Adam and Eve were the FIRST man and woman God created...I don't think it ever said they were the ONLY one's he created, if your looking for answers regarding the Bible.\nI'd also like to add that genetically, it's next to impossible to have a healthy child created in incest, especially as close as brother and sister. If those problems exist now, then reason says they would exist way back then as well. So, I think either God created more people, or Adam and Eve were the first "modern humans" along the evolution chain. I'm a bit undecided about it since I believe in God along with evolution...kind of weird, huh?

This Scriptural passage discusses three from among the first offspring of Adam and Eve. We know that Adam and Even also had other offspring.\n(Genesis 5:4) And the days of Adam after his fathering Seth came to be eight hundred years. Meanwhile he became father to sons and daughters. \n\nClearly, Cain's wife was either a sister or niece of his from among Adam and Eve's other offspring. There is nothing in this passage on which to base the idea that Cain's wife was of a race of mankind different from Adam and Eve. Similarly, there is nothing in this passage on which to base the idea that Cain was of a particular race or that his "sign" was anything more than a public proclamation by God.\n\nSince all of mankind was wiped out by the Noachian flood, none of the names in Genesis chapter 4 can relate to post-flood nations.

i've seen paintings of biblical scenes.... why does adam have nipples, and why do adam and eve both have belly buttons? if you believe the bible is word for word correct, (and i dont see how anyone can think that every single word in there is perfect) that alone proves that god must have a sense of humor.

Just because Bible doesn't mention other humans prior to or alongside Adam and Eve does not mean other people didn't exist.\nIt makes sense for others to be there.  \nI know this opens a whole other can of worms but it is an interesting thought.

Huge Problems!!! where!!  have you ever thought the rules of the past may not be applied to what is today!  Adam is believed to have been created as a perfect being, and we know now that the humans are not perfect! get the point!!  Once upon a time Africa was a huge forest, now it is a big desert! ever wondered why!  think about it.\nDuring the time of ADAM and EVE, some believe didn't even have a spoken language, and now, we have so many languages!! ever wondered why!\nEarth is a living, or dying plant.  what was in the past, we many never see, or see again.\nCan you explain any of my questions! if you can! then you will get the answer to your questions as well.  Good luck if you can.\n\nIf the Genesis confuse you, try the Quran, but first take two asprines before you start reading. \ntake my advice.  Sincerely llewrose MD :)

I don't think it matters. Did Adam and Eve have bellybuttons? Does this affect my relationship with God? No.\n\nIf you mean that the Bible may not be literal in every sense, congratulations!

Adam and Eve had more children. Cain married his sister. The story of Cain and Abel was centered upon them and not the whole family. It is believed that Adam and Eve had many children who intermarried. Kinda gross to think that we all came from inbreeding.

i sure as hell don't.  I mean, why would God curse Adam and Eve for eating an apple?  I believe it's a symbol as are a lot of the other unbelievable parts of the Bible.

It's about the male and the female line, although the male line as given by Matthew is supposed to be irrelevant, if you really believe in the virgin birth, isn't it?\nI always thought that was slightly weird.

Adam and Eve were obsolutly not the first people on the earth!\n\n Any Bible scholar with half a brain would be able to decipher that GODS WORD ( bible ) alone makes that claim!\n\nAnyone who makes the claim that all people come from Adam and Eve are simply dispelling Judaisms greatest hoax upon the body of Christ!\n\nIt is true that God stated that HE made Adam and Eve in His "own likeness" and  That He created them "for His own purpose." Remember that as we go along!\n\nWe all know the story of Adam and Eve and the alleged apple incident . Which ,, BTW is nothing more than a Judaeo incert into our bibles. There is no such thing as an apple leading any of GODS people astray. In the garden we see that GOD upon calling Adam and Eve HE noticed that they were aware of their nakedness. God asked them  how they knew and Adam right away blamed it on Eve . Eve in turn stated that the "SERPENT HAD BEGUILD ME." The word " beguiled" means to SEDUCE and the intention here is meant to be seduced sexually.\n\nWas ADAM really blaming EVE? Obsulutely not! the fact that Eve first had sex with the serpent ( satan) was the great sin. Upon knowing of this great thing called sex Eve then consumated with ADAM and ADAM hade thought that he had sinned.\n\n     Not so, for GOD after creating Adam and Eve had told them they may partake of any fruit in the garden ( which there were only ADAM and Eve) but they are not to partake of the evil fruit of knowledge . God refers to all things as Fruit, Be fruitfull and multiply, thy fruit of thy womb, thy fruit of thy loins ect, ect. The evil fruit whom had all knowledge was in fact Satan and it was satan that had "beguild" or suduced Eve. Then eve seduced Adam which was a perfect suduction as planned by God. It is scientifically proven that a woman can have sex with one man and hours or days later have sex with another man and become pregnant with twins by two diferent biological fathers.\n\nIn this case one father was Adam and the other father was Satan or later known as the CANNITES.\n\nWAIT ! IT GETS BETTER AND THEN YOUR EYES WILL BE OPENNED!\n\nWhen cain slew ABLE God called to CAIN. CAIN WERE IS THEY BROTHER? Cain answered " Am I my brothers keeper? God reasoned and said "YOUR BROTHERS BLOOd HAS CRIED OUT TO ME" meaing that blood has a voice that only GOD can hear!\n\nFor this abomination God told Cain that He will CURSE AND DRIVE him out of the garden for killing the son of man. God knew good and well that CAIN and thusly the CANNITES were not of the son of man.\n\n\nIn the fourth chapter of GENISIS Cain makes this statement to GOD: \n   " I shall be a vagabond on the earth: IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT EVERY ONE THAT FINDETH ME SHALL SLAY ME."\n\nIf only Adam and Eve existed ,then  WHO was Cain afraid of that would kill him? Who was it that he would be a fugitive from? It is quite clear that the "everyone ' that Cain was refering to could not be Adam and Eve. Who was Cain refering to?\n\nCain was well aware ( more than some bible readers who could not see this truth) that many people existed in the lands around them. This fact is VERIFIED BY GOD in HIS response to Cain in verse 15:\n\nGod told Cain that " WHOSOEVER OF THE "OTHER" PEOPLE THAT MIGHT SLAY YOU, VENGENEANCE SHALL BE ON THAT PERSON."\n\nWhy did God give Cain and identifying "MARK" if Adam and EVE were the only people who knew him very well and were the only "other " alleged people alive? Why would they need a "mark " to identify Their son Cain?\n\nIf Adam and Eve were the FIRST and ONlY PEOPLE at this time, then from were did Cain find a wife? Not only was he able to find a wife , but there were obviously enough people to be part of the city built by Cain after his expulsion from the garden. Cains marriage, the birth of his son Seth, all these circumstances thus point to the existance of men independent of Adam

First off, those who believe it was "Adam and Eve" don't believe in EVOLUTION. So that throws that out.\n\nSecondly those same people who claim they're "Christians" Keep throwing Levitical/Mosaic Laws in our faces when as "Christians" they should know that even THEY aren't bound to those same laws...their insistance is purely hatefilled.\n\nYou reminded me of something my brother says when he meets someone who's vihemently against gays and gay marriage. \n"Do you believe in God?" \nif yes, he moves on...\n"Do you believe your God is a loving God, a "father" in heaven?"\nif yes, he moves on...\n"Do you believe your God created all people?"\nif yes, he moves on again...\n"Then why would your Loving God, who creates all people, who is OUR Father in Heaven...Ever create an entire group of people JUST to be hated?" \n\nNow, as far as those who do use that silly phrase I say: \n\nYes, it was Adam and Eve, but if you believe in God who created all people, then it's more accurate to say "it's Adam, Eve, Steve, Larry, Janet, Misty, Kahdeem, Horacio, Tiffany, Joe, Alex, Jon, Pete, Doris, Patty, Edith....etc" \n\nI also remind them that if they claim to be "Christians" then they should remember that Jesus left us with only one mandate: "LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF!" \n\nThat was it, only one...and he NEVER ONCE said anything about gays/lesbians or same sex marriage. As a matter of fact there's not ONE referance to a committed, loving, devoted same sex couple ANYWHERE in the Bible!

It's not, because the story of Adam and Eve is just that...a story.  A story meant to teach that has become twisted and turned around to sickening points.  In fact, it has been twisted so much that in many early religions, women were not allowed to speak in church because of Eve's supposed wrong doings.

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
