Question about Noah.

[Taz]

If there was a flood and Noah didn't have any asians or blacks on his boat, where did all the asians and blacks come from?

probably the same place they came from when you claim the first living thing crawled out of a mud puddle......

So you don't know? Doesn't make sense to you either?

 

[Taz]

Since the bible thumpers don't believe in evolution, they can't say they just evolved.

???....do you believe blacks and asians are a different species than Aryans?.......there were some folks who agreed with you that governed Germany once.....

They are different races that weren't on Noah's boat. So how did they get here? Evolution?

 

[Hollie]

The Tower of Babel, of course. When God made everyone speak different languages, He also made them all different races and sent them all over the world.

When a story simply doesn't make sense, just insert the phrase "God did it" and it'll all work out.

Better than my answer: evolution. But of course it the planet's less than 6,000 years old evolution wouldn't have had time to create the myriad of ethnicities.

Who says it only 6,000 years old? The city of Jerico itself has been dated to 11000 - 9000 BCE. Where do you people get this stuff from?

Hollie.....

Actually, you have already identified you pick and choose the less contradictory, less absurd tales of the bibles in favor of your invention of Christianity lite. That's fine. Like most religionists, you simply reinvent the tales tales and fables as you go.

Here's the answer to the question:

Genesis 6:19, "And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female."

Two of EVERY FLESH, male and female.

No, that does not address the question of where various ethnicities came from after god drowned everyone except drunken Noah and his family.

Noah and his family were not "of every sort".

Noah and his family were direct descendants of Adam (formed on the 8th day). The other races were created on the 6th day. Know your Bible before addressing it.

The Command to take "two of every flesh" is crystal clear.

As clear as mud. Per the fable, Noah and his immediate family were left to repopulate the planet after the flood. That suggests some.... Um... creepy inter-familial relationships. In many places on the planet, those types of relationships are deemed illegal.

It's you thumpers who should know your bibles before addressing these issues.

Nope. Noah had a wife. Ham had a wife. Shem had a wife. Japheth had a wife. When you read the description of Noah you'll find that he was "perfect in his generations" (Genesis 6:9) which means that he had no genetic imperfections; therefore, there were no genetic weaknesses that would cause handicapped offspring as a result of marriage between cousins. Plus, when God's will and presence is involved He could have supernaturally assured that the seed of Noah remained strong and healthy.

Ah yes, the "supernatural", weasel. "the gawds did it... by supernatural means", resolves all unresolvable biblical tales and fables.

And yet you fail to provide a viable answer to man's existence. Your entire belief system revolves around hypothesis, conjecture, and wishful thinking.

Race depends on your genealogy and the part of the world your ancestors came from. Apparently their were numerous tribes on Earth as early as Babylon.

One of those rare occasions when we actually agree on something. Blending the Bible with evolutionary science is like mixing oil with water. You either believe in the Bible or you don't. Picking and choosing is actually worse, IMO, than absolute rejection.

There is a viable explanation for the diversity of life on the planet. Curiously, it requires no magic, supernaturalism or Christian ritual sacrifices to the gods.

Yep. The bibles are either literally true or you are in a position of picking and choosing. Why did the gods literally lie to A&E (not the cable station), about the punishment for fruit theft?

 

[Delta4Embassy]

Think the problem with religion is while some of the commandments are good and sensible, confusing the book those are found in with a history or science book is frought with peril. Don't need gods to be real to know why killing's bad, but then going on to believe a human made boat could hold even 1 of every species is to require complete denial of reality.

it would appear its a result of the effect the sun has upon human skin over many generations.......evolution is a theory that explains the development of new species.....I don't believe that Africans are a different species than Caucasians........

 

[DriftingSand]

There were 8 humans on that boat, and God. We are not privy to the ethnicity of the wives of Noah's children, only that their DNA had not been altered by having sex with fallen angels.
Noah drank to much wine once. Which does not a drunkard make. And no incest occurred.
2 of every species were saved. The clean animals, that numbered more than 2 were used as sacrifices.

Gen. 8:20 "Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar."

Interesting, no?

We can See the lineage of Christianity wherein the inventors of the religion identified the pagan rituals of earlier religions from which christianity was invented: making ritual sacrifice to the gods.

Actually, offering sacrifices to God started in the Garden of Eden so if anyone copied anyone it was the pagans copying Cain & Abel (the first mention of "offerings."

The problem you have here is that you, and a created being, don't have the right to pick and choose which of God's commandments are "good and sensible." If they are of God then they all serve a purpose in a greater sense than our finite minds can fathom. Therefore, even if we may not like it all of God's edicts are "good and sensible" even if they were only enacted for a short period of man's history on earth. For instance, many of the laws of the Old Covenant served an important purpose during that era but the Old Covenant has been replaced by the New Covenant and many of those Old laws have been fulfilled in Christ and are no longer required under the New Covenant.

Actually, offering sacrifices to the gawds started with fears and superstitions that predate the invention of Christianity.

You do realize that the various bible tales and fables were written by men, right?

It's fine to pick and choose from among the biblical tales and fables. For use and information, the men who wrote the bibles define creation as an earthly event.

Have you ever actually read any of the bibles?

BE SERIOUS!!!!
Evolution doesn't just make new species, it gives existing ones slight variations from each other. To say that black got black by being in the sun and cooking is ridiculous, the black skin is a defense against the sun, and how humans evolved to deal with the hot sun in Africa. Now you know.
