Welcome to my thread.

We'll begin with the question: "How do you explain all the different races of humans without accepting evolution?"

By the Christian argument, if you assume the biblical flood destroyed all mankind, then everyone descended from Noah and his family...

If you assume some did survive the biblical flood, then all human races descended from Adam and Eve.

For those of you who constantly pop in and claim 'Evolution is a lie, conceived by Satan, a religion to undermine Christianity...etc...etc...

Please explain how so many races exist today... (without using evolution)

 

 

Stay tuned for further Biblical Stories which only evolution can explain.

How does that support evolution, and explain different human races?

Simple... how else would you explain Asians, Africans, Polynesians, Native Americans, Eskimos, Chinese, Japanese, Indians, etc..etc... from a single Male and Female without evolution?????

Yeah it does. Common ancestor. Diversification and adaptation. Either by a natural process or something else.

Unless you invoke "something else", evolution is the only way to go.

The caution to do your own research applies here as well.  Creationists did account for races before Darwin published Origin and since.  You might not agree with the accounts (I don't), but they do exist. In brief, the races are different "kinds" and were created as different "kinds".

Isaac de la Peyere, Preadamitae, 1655, English edition, Men Before Adam, 1656.  Peyere was a French theologian and Huguenot.  The book claimed that Adam was not the first man and that the Bible is not the history of mankind, but only  the history of the Jews.  He was censured by the Pope but kept looking for support for his theory.  Part of his rationale came from his interpretation of Paul's Epistle to the Romans.  His pre-Adamite theory later became the basis for 19th century theories of polygenism and modern racism.  You can see the thread yourself in the works below--other races not descended from Adam, just the white race.  A discussion of this work can be found in Encycl. Judaica, 1972.  So the idea of races did not originate with Darwin, but with a card-carrying Christian.  And the concept of racism came over 200 years *before* Origin of the Species was written.

Charles Carrol  The Negro a Beast; or, In the Image of God, 1900 American Book and Bible House.  "The Negro created a beast, but created with articulate speech, and hands, that he may be of service to his master -- the White man"  "All scientific investigation of the subject proves the Negro to be an ape, and that he simply stands at the head of the ape family." (of course, he is wrong about the science, since evolution shows all the races to belong to the same species)  Genesis prohibits mating with "beasts" [Negroes]:  they were created a different "kind".  God destroyed mankind in the worldwide Flood because man had corrupted his kind by amalgamation with Negro beasts.  Negroes were taken on the Ark along with other animals.  Has a chapter "The Theory of Evolution Exploded; Man was Created a Man, and Did Not Develop from an Ape"  Says there are only 2 origin theories, and they are in "absolute conflict":  biblical creation and atheistic evolution.

W. Clyde Odeneal, Segregation:  Sin or Sensible?, 1958, Destiny Publishers as a reprint of original article in Destiny magazine.  Asserts that God created races after their own kind; nature attests to this "Divine Law"  "Segregation is an Anglo-Saxon principle because more than all the other races combined, the Anglo-Saxon, Celtic and related races are predominantly the Bible-reading, Bible-disseminating peoples of the world."  States that "miscegenation was the principle [sic] sin which brought on the great flood of antiquity."

Well, I'm sure you'll have some people claim it's an example of "micro" evolution, and therefore hunky-dory.

The part that deals with the human races is only macro-evolution under the technical definition. In fact, it represents only a tiny variation across the species population. However, looking at the number of species that exist now - and the impossibility of fitting a representative from each modern species onto the ark - the pace of evolution necessary to explain current diversity of life far outstrips that which is required if there was no recent global flood.

Eph writes..

How do you explain LIGHT being divided by a PRISM and showing the different colors it's really made up of...?? People as the intermarriages took place...'divided " into different colors...just as LIGHT when it is divided or broken down...from it's original perfect state...!

As people began to "divide" the gene pool again and agin..."different colors were produced..!

Thats one question down..

Smilin thinks...
By the Christian argument, if you assume the biblical flood destroyed all mankind, then everyone descended from Noah and his family...

Eph replies...

RE read GEN 6...Clearer would be Noah..and his wife ( race unknown )...and Noah's 3 sons..( half Noah half..who knows )...and the 3 wives of Noah's sons...that could have been of different race...So we have on the ark..5 possible races..Noah..His wife...and 3 other wives..= 5...PLUS 3 sons of Noah that could have been of MIXED race...AND as Gen 6:19 says at least 2 of ALL flesh went into the ark..Gen 6:4 says "giants" lived back then AND afterwards...So we're up to a bunch of people and giants on that ark...(( remember David slew Goliath wayyy after the ark landed )...

Next question...( these are quite easy ya know )...

Smilin asks...
If you assume some did survive the biblical flood, then all human races descended from Adam and Eve.

Eph writes...

This isn't a question really...( or at least you failed here to present it in question form ))..it's a statement..

I agree with it..all pure HUMANS are from Noah..( not along with or including the wives or sons that were on the ark )...thru Adam...to be more precise..!

Smilin says...

1, Please explain how so many races exist today... (without using evolution)

Eph wonders...?

Why..? Evolution is based on what's known as "circular reasoning"...It isn't scientific..it was and IS still a theory...That with the increased knowledge of Genetics..and DNA...is a proven fallicy...!

Monkey's for example can have 98 persent of our DNA match...but unless it's 100% it's a total wash out..!

Evolution is just a bad mistake.....it's not even a lie anymore...! It's only taught today by those who would be best compared to people 1000 yrs ago teaching the world was flat....Old outdated once believed to be true data...still pushed by the "hard flat earthers" of Evolution...!

The best Scientists are NOW distancing themselves from it because of breakthroughs in DNA and Genitic's...Your more apt to be struck by lightning 1 million times in a row AND then turn into a monkey..than you are to evolve into one...from anything else...!

Sorry to burst your bubble...!

Does anyone know if genetically this is even possible? I was always under the impression that it wasn't.

How so?



it was and IS still a theory...

And always will be. Scientific theories always remain theories. It's the nature of a scientific theory.

What? :scratch:

Who? Got any names?


Sorry to burst your bubble...!

My bubble is made of carbon fiber. It's un-burstable.

How could there have been different races in Noah's family if they were all descended from Adam and Eve? Biblical references please

What's a pure human? Where are the non-pure humans? Biblical references please
