What did Adam and Eve look like?

What ethnicity were they?
That's a good question.

I'd say there's no known ethnicity on file that they would fall into.

I suppose you could call it Purest, for lack of a better term.

Maybe Divine Purity or something like that.

Chaste maybe?

What ethnicity were they?

Definition:
'the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition.'

So...

I do believe in a primordial man and woman, but not necessarily, Adam and Eve as described in Genesis. I do not take that account 100% literal.

Why are you wondering about their ethnicity then?

What do you mean by "primordial"?

Your estimate on percents would be interesting too.

I think you meant to say, "Chased." As in "chased out ... " :sorry:

That's pretty close!

Probably; I feel like it's a nice mix of everything. It was 1/2 knee-jerk humor and 1/2 thought out.

I do believe in a primordial man and woman, but not necessarily, Adam and Eve as described in Genesis. I do not take that account 100% literal.

To me, there definitely seem to be different tribes outside the garden not of Adam's lineage. Neanderthals? Other homo-sapiens that didn't have the breath of life specifically given to them? Don't know. I think Adam and Eve were set apart, but there seem to have been others following a more evolutionary track.

“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

==

13 And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
15 And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

If there weren't, you don't say "anyone that finds me is going to kill me" - you say "my dad's gonna kill me".
Also, you don't build a city, you build a lean-to.
And your wife is probably your imaginary girlfriend.

They spoke Jacobean English though, in my opinion.
