The Creation- How Compelling Is The Christian Narative? by omenka(m): 8:11am On Jun 28, 2015
Good morning.

I'm not a regular on this board- in fact this is my first time ever of visiting and I see you guys are doing quite a great job here. Kudos. smiley

For some of us not so ardent in the "ways of Christ", there are certain questions that have been tugging at our minds for years and I hope bringing it here, someone knowledgeable could help put things into clearer perspective.

Now, I've been having some difficulty believing the Christian narative of how man came to being. I don't believe a hindered percent in the Big Bang or Darwinism as well, but if you ask me, so far, both seem to offer even better explanation as to the question of life and how it has come to evolve.

According to our religion, the first men were Adam and Eve and every other man is a product of their procreation. My questions then are:

1. What race was Adam and Eve??

2. It is said that after Cain killed Abel, he saw banished from Eden and went to live in some distant place (make una no mind me, I no sabi bible well well..) where he married and bore lots of children- question is, where did those people come from? Were they his brothers and sisters??

3. How did we end up with the different races we have today- where did Whites, Blacks, Asians, indians, Arabs, Hispanics, and Persians with all their genotypical/physiological differences come from??

4. If we were to accept the variations in "3" as products of genetic mutation, could we then extend to argument to explain the origin of man as a product of genetic mutation/evolution?? cheesy


I wish the pastors and evangelical scientists in the house could shed some light on this.

Thanks.

No one is sure if Adam was the first man on earth even the bible said something about other people living on earth during the era of Adam

I dont know much about the bible but i guess it was during the time Cain killed Abel and God told cain he'll suffer that death wont come easily, i think cain said something like ''other people will kill me when they come to know of what i have done'' ( not sure tho )...

My question is who are these ''other people''?....i'm curious to know better

Christianity = Faith. Faith = Believing that something is true or real even without evidence.

Christians operate with faith and it works for them so don't judge, so others won't judge you.

I can give you Bible verses of the above but that's not my point though.

MY POINT:
Stick to whatever works for you. its not by force nor a must to be a Christian but pls respect other people's Faith.

Atheist, Christianity, Islam, Budahism, Hindu, Satanist, Baha'i, sango, Amadioha etc

All AGREE only on one thing and that is LOVE thy neighbour as thy self, (Do to others what you want them do to you)

If the world can embrace that Love, Peace will reign on earth no matter your Faith, Colour, ethnicity etc

The world will not see any reason to build or own Nuclear Warhead ( Like someone pointed out that Russia have 8200, USA 7700 and Nigeria 1,000,000 grin) Imagine!

Let's make the world a Better Place. It begins with You and Me(I)

All Na wash

Imagine after Cain killed Abel, he was cursed by God and he became wanderer. He had a mark on his forehead and people stared and cast him away everywhere (country) he went.
Who are these people?
I thought it was only Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel at that time
Who did Abel later married?
Was there _incest?
Did eve gave birth to a female?
How did they get to expand and extend their offsprings
