The story of creation has serious holes. 1. It says man started working for food as a result of the fall in the garden of eden. The question is: is it only man that works now? In fact, all animals work and face risks in doing so. Ants and lions work before they eat, etc. Does it mean all those animals also ate from d apple? 2. That women will labour before childbirth. All d females of animals labour before childbirth. Did they also eat from d apple? 3. Just like man, all animals also die. Did they eat in d apple? In fact, plants also die. Bacteria etc die. omenka: 9 Likes 2 Shares |

omenka: [b] Question 1. We weren't told if Adam and eve were black or white, but if you trace their lineage to isreal, you discover that isreal is a mixture of cholcolate and fair and blonde people in complexion. so maybe one of the two were fair and dark,Just saying tho. even if the two were the same complexion, its possible for two fair parents to give birth to a black child, its happend several times. Question2: Adam gave birth to many sons and daughters. cain married his sister, by the time cain killed Abel, they might have been hundreds of years then. scriptural backup Genesis 5:3-4 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:. Question 3: check my first answer. Question 4: what origin of man?? mtchewww Genesis 1:26-27 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. #@MINET16 [/b] 18 Likes 1 Share |

omenka:It is important to recognize that Cain and Abel were both full-grown adults at the time that Cain killed Abel. Both Cain and Abel were farmers, who tended to their own lands and flocks (Genesis 4:2-4 ). The Bible does not tell us how old Cain and Abel were, but they very likely could have been in their 30’s or 40’s. The Bible does not specifically mention Adam and Eve having any children between Abel and Seth (Genesis 4:25 ). However, it is highly unlikely that the two most perfect human beings in the history of the world, Adam and Eve, would not have any children over several decades. Adam and Eve had many children after Seth ( Genesis 5:4 ), so why would they not also have had other children between Abel and Seth? The Bible does not say that Seth was Adam and Eve’s first child, or even first son, after Abel was killed. Rather, it states that Seth was born as a “replacement” for Abel. Genesis chapter 5 traces the genealogy of Seth. Prior to his death, Abel was likely the “chosen” son that would eventually produce the Messiah ( Genesis 3:15 ). It is in this sense that Seth “replaced” Abel. So, whom was Cain afraid of? Cain was afraid of his own brothers, sisters, nephews, and nieces, who were already born and would be capable of seeking revenge. The fact that Cain had a wife (Genesis 4:17 ) is a further evidence that Adam and Eve had other children after Cain and Abel, but before Seth. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

omenka: 1. There's only one human race. Human race 2. The bible is not detailed to that extent. its not a historical reference book. 3. The genes that code for physical appearance is insignificant to the entire human genome. genes that code for are plenty and there is a certain space for few in a genome. There was mutation in some places and as humanity scattered all around the globe there came gene pools. these types of genes are prevalent in these areas. Humans are still humans. You won't believe that you are close to one Arab than another Arab genetically. 4. I will still state that mutation is a factor but mutation don't mean they change from one specie to another. Yes there is micro evolution but macro evolution is impossible. There are mutations here and there but that doesn't mean they are another species entirely. I'll say evolution is the cause of racism. because the other races want to start seeing themselves as different and because they've achieved some, they feel superior. Darwinism is outdated. To me it takes more faith to believe in evolution than that God created life. I recommend reading Darwin's Doubt and Signature in the Cell. What I'm trying to say is man will always be man, a dog will always be a dog. a cat will always be a cat. they will reproduce according to their kind. always. Peace. 3 Likes |

Genesis 5 New International Version (NIV) From Adam to Noah 5 This is the written account of Adam’s family line. When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them “Mankind”[a] when they were created. 3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. 4 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5 Altogether, Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died. 6 When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father[b] of Enosh. 7 After he became the father of Enosh, Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters. 8 Altogether, Seth lived a total of 912 years, and then he died. 9 When Enosh had lived 90 years, he became the father of Kenan. 10 After he became the father of Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11 Altogether, Enosh lived a total of 905 years, and then he died. 12 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he became the father of Mahalalel. 13 After he became the father of Mahalalel, Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons and daughters. 14 Altogether, Kenan lived a total of 910 years, and then he died. 15 When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he became the father of Jared. 16 After he became the father of Jared, Mahalalel lived 830 years and had other sons and daughters. 17 Altogether, Mahalalel lived a total of 895 years, and then he died. 18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he became the father of Enoch. 19 After he became the father of Enoch, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20 Altogether, Jared lived a total of 962 years, and then he died. 21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. 22 After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years. 24 Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. 25 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech. 26 After he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters. 27 Altogether, Methuselah lived a total of 969 years, and then he died. 28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son. 29 He named him Noah[c] and said, “He will comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the Lord has cursed.” 30 After Noah was born, Lamech lived 595 years and had other sons and daughters. 31 Altogether, Lamech lived a total of 777 years, and then he died. 32 After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth. 4 Likes |

For your first qus, it does not matter what race they were, evolution acts with respect to environmental factor. Eg a white man coming to stay in Africa would begin to tan over a long period of time and his offspring would want to "adapt" to the harsh environment, would produce more tyrosin, dopa etc that would eventually bring melanin making him darker and able to absorb heat better. And for ur 2nd qus, u would notice a part of the scripture that somehow throw light on the existence of another human specie other that Adam and Eve (those humans lived outside the garden). And variation can cause multiple phenotype and genotype depending on the crossing. Thats why irrespective of the minor differences in the physiological and biochemical make up between the caucasoid, austroloid, negroid and mongoloid, their similarites are still about a large 90%. 5 Likes |

omenka::Well I am not a pastor but when you critically analyse the Bible, u will observe that they are interwoven. The synoptic gospel... if you observe has same stories but more detailed than the other. That is the book of Matthew, Mark like and John. History has it that Mark being the first used a source called Q and inspiration to get his story and later Matthew used book of Mark and source Q WTH inspiration to get the book of Matthew. Later St like used book of Mark, Matthew, source Q and inspiration to get the book of St like. Likewise St John which added the resurrection. There your non in neck question of the old testament is surely based on medieval history and a source. To prove the infallibility of the Bible and as christ in persons, no one can question God. We all came on board to know this history and as it stands the source is God but inspired by who is what I don't know. But if God can give moses the ten commandments from the mountain, GOD CAN DO ANY THINGS. |
