Do Nigerians Really Believe That They Are Descendants Of Adam? by Nobody: 12:57pm On Nov 27, 2012
This is a question that I have asked christians and I have got interesting answers. Some Nigerian christians believe that they are and some believe that they are not descendants of Adam. The reasons for not believing in Adam as the common ancestor of all humans are;


1) Adam is a Hebrew name. There are older languages than Hebrew. It would be more realistic if the first man had a name from the oldest language.

2) Civilization started in Africa and not the middle east. It is unlikely that asemitic or middle eastern people would be or know the first men.



So what do Nigerian believe? Are you a descendant of Adam?

No. We are not descendants of apes. We and apes share a common ancestor. We evolved differently, apes took another direction.

Doesn't make your belief true, does it?


I'd rather be a descendant of an Ugochukwu though, rather than an Adam.

Those classifications are what the scientists use to differentiate different similar species that lived millions of years from each other. Those are the ones they have discovered so far. There are a lot of diversification between the years. Everything and everybody evolve. There is no stopping.
Your children evolved from you. They are another species but the difference between you and them is so small that it won't be noticed. However, through many generations, the addition of these differences will produce a species significantly different when compared to you.

Do you seriously believe that we are all descendents of Adam & Eve? That round about 6'000 years ago Adam & Eve's descendents spread from the garden of eden to europe the middle east africa asia & somehow crossed the atlantic. Ocean to populate South & North america. Dose that really sound believable to you?

Logicboy03: 1) Adam is a Hebrew name. There are older languages than Hebrew. It would be more realistic if the first man had a name from the oldest language.
Funny...Before the Flood, the Bible says that all mankind “continued to be of one language and of one set of words.” (Gen. 11:1)

So if mankind spoke one language, how would hebrew or any other language have existed.

Logicboy03: 2) Civilization started in Africa and not the middle east.
True

The first man was Adam...I wander which other man you guys want to know again.

We are descended from apes in the same way that we are descended from what would also appear to be useless, brainless(apologies to Frosbel), souless, fish-like spermatazoa.

Feotal development tend to mimic the evolutionary path of a species.

if we descended from apes, how come we still have apes around ?

They should have evolved to at least a closer specie to MAN , no ?

You know that the bible is nonsense. How could Adam and Eve have Hebrew names? Furthermore, how could 2 people populate the earth?
Re: Do Nigerians Really Believe That They Are Descendants Of Adam? by plaetton: 4:43pm On Nov 27, 2012
First, the bible is an abbreviated and plagurised copy of ancients text from Babylon and much older Summerian texts. The word Adam was not the name of a man but means" Man of the earth or earth man". It is name given to the early set of homo-sapien sapiens that either directly evolved or were hybrids genetically modified(by the Elohim) from earlier Neantherthals and other homo hablis creatures that inhabited the south eastern parts of Africa.

Adam was not created in the garden of eden.
The bible states that the Adamu or Adama (earth man) was taken (I assume from Africa) and put in the garden of eden(somewhere in Iraq) to tend the garden for the Elohim(another way of saying that man was essentially a slave).

Sorry Frosbel, only very ignorant people ask those kinds of questions. I though you knew better.
About 500,000yrs ago, we had the Neantherthals and several other species of ndvanced hominids co-existing.
We are still trying to find out what exactly led to their extinctions.
