Adam & Eve were White.
That out of Africa bit is nonsense. Even one of the most prolific Physical Anthropologists of the last century stated that: "If Africa was the cradle of mankind, it was only an indifferent kindergarten. Europe and Asia were our principle schools."
These kinds of theories like the 'Out-of-Africa' theory do not change the scientific and biological make up of living organisms. The Aryan Nordic man in Africa is still the Aryan Nordic man and sitting in Ethiopia doesn't make him a Negro. You guys talk the talk with that scientific rhetoric but you don't walk the walk.

As if geographical location or the colour of our skin made us different..........be consequent, if Adam and Eve were the parents of humankind, they were white, black and Asian, or surely nothing of the three. Moreover, Europe and Asia were not the "schools" of humankind always. Egypt was situated in.............bingo, in Africa.
The color(s) of A & E's skins is not mentioned in the Bible, but it is a moot point anyway as Genesis is a fictional (made up, not real, untruthful, fairy tale) story.
What race Adam and Eve were doesn't mean much to me, because I don't believe they existed. I don't see how your paragraph proves they were white, especially since I don't know what you're talking about.
Well the first humans came from Africa and they had to be black, they just evolved white skin in Europe since the lack of sun meant they no longer needed the pigment melotin in their skin to act as a natural sun block. Are you following this yet, and what are you doing on a non-religious board anyway?
Adam & Eve were White
Hey, your mythology, you make them whatever Crayola color you want. Doesn't bother me any.
These kinds of theories like the 'Out-of-Africa' theory do not change the scientific and biological make up of living organisms.
Yet, your so-called "superior genetics" (blonde hair, blue eyes) are actually recessive traits. Wonder why that is?

Total smeg. The alleged Aryan Race is as made-up as Adam and Eve, who were Hummels by the way. And Cain was abducted by aliens and went on to become Darth Vader. After Luke killed him, he was revived by Satan and became Freddie Krueger.
It's all in the book of Revelations, man! You just have to know how to interpret it! Trust me you racist corn dog!
Pfui!
Elevations 4:20, dude.
Where would you be without Jimmy Johnson and his cliches?
The Aryan Nordic man in Africa is still the Aryan Nordic man and sitting in Ethiopia doesn't make him a Negro.
You're right. It makes him a Tourist.
just for the moment, let's accept the A&E story. EVERYBODY is descended from these two, so how can any be any better than any other - we all have the same root.
And that's true even if the story isn't true - because the scientific story gives the same relationship - we all started out from one place....
"If Africa was the cradle of mankind, it was only an indifferent kindergarten. Europe and Asia were our principle schools."
Way to completely miss the point of this , jackhole.
"If Africa was the cradle of mankind, it was only an indifferent kindergarten. Europe and Asia were our principle schools."
Aka, since man originated in Africa they begun their intellectual pursuits there, (much like we begin our very limited intellectual pursuits in Kindergarden) but it was not until later civilizations of Europe and Asia that they really begun to come into our own. How stupid can you be that you didn't get that your quote was refering to our state of knowledge and in no way backs up your claims?
Actually Adam and Eve were flesh-colored, whatever color flesh is up to your crayon box.PS "Walk like an Egyptian"! Egypt(one of those principle schools) WAS and STILL IS IN AFRICA. You need to crawl before you can walk Josh, and maybe read some books on ancient history, you're still a toddler.
@pbagosy:
I'm not a fundie or a racist, but I just wanted to point out that being recessive does not make a trait harmful or inferior. It simply means it's less likely to be expressed in a population. In fact, sevaral diseases, Huntington's for instance, are actually dominant traits. Once again, I'm not trying to support Josh Barnhill or anything, just clarifying what "recessive" actually means in genetics.
How about this: We have no idea what early Homo sapiens looked like. I'd guess probably more like Ethiopians or Khoisan than anything else, but that's a completely uneducated guess. But West African, or North African, or European, Asian, Mediterranean/Middle Eastern, South Asian... doubt it.
Jesus is has lineage from Shem yes so he is a Semite. I am one too.
The term is used on a linguistic basis today and has nothing to do with racial origins, but racially yes a total semite, me too so what's the bad news?
There is an Aryan... but they're Indo-Iranian. So, sure, Jesus and Adam and Eve and many of the other characters in the Bible (some of whom were real historical people) probably did look "Aryan" if you mean one of the tribes of what would become Persia and Northern India.
No idea what they're doing in Norway, or Africa for that matter, or why that helps prove that Adam and Eve looked like Malibu Barbie.
And when the most recent scientist you can quote is from the last century, take it as a hint that you are failing, and failing hard.
"Is there an intelligent man or woman now in the world who believes in the Garden of Eden story? If you find any man who believes it, strike his forehead and you will hear an echo. Something is for rent."
.........."Orthodoxy", 1884
If Adam and Eve were real and came from Africa, they would not be white. You see, the thing about a Black person's skin is that is tends to protect them from the sun. So.. they live in an area that gets a lot of sun.. they're going to have darker skin.
The features most commonly associated with the dumb palefaces idea of african people, Is actualy a recent evelopement itself.
About 8000 years go a population of central africans evolved those traits of the broad flat nose and the oversized lips.
Absolutely, the first humans were white, an equal mixture of all of the colors. Then they split into different colored races, red, green, indigo, yellow, black etc.
Urantia nonsense.
Nordic is a traceable racial type which you could measure via the skull-shape (just as you could figure out different animals by looking a theirs). Arya is a sanskrit term meaning Noble and the term has been used for several hundred years by notable anthropologists, historians etc to describe the Nordic racial type (this doesn't presuppose a certain hair colour, or a certain eye colour but has to do with brain size, body structure and any student of history could tell you that brain size has a correlation between how a being thinks and what it has been able to accomplish).
You say if mankind came from africa they were first black?
Question why is it that Tropical Rainforests and Jungles appear at places which are inhabited by the darker races of men?
If the white man was in Africa (humoring your thought process) then it stands to reason that he could've built a structure to protect himself from the sun.
Why is it that the jungle which has the ground blocked from sunlight has the darker races? WHy does a white man paint himself black if hunting or fighting in the jungle?
Why do black tribesmen in Africa paint themselves white if they're going to hunt in the sahel and plains to blend in with the grasses?
Why do lions near the equator have blondism? You can't tell me that b/c thy live in heat they are dark. Our ancestors could shield themselves from the sun if they needed and command from shelter rather than sit in the sun all day long if needed - they also could make clothing. None of this ever occurred to you I suppose but the Aryan race didn't spring up in Norway or Europe but conquered Europe.
Trying to tll me that India & Iran today are demographically the same as Persia and India 2500 years ago is as foolish as trying to say that America today at 60 % white has always been that way when you know that it was 90 % just 40 years ago.
The physical and genetic evidence supports the Out of Africa Theory. The Khoisan Bushmen have the most ancient lineage that we all go back to, so the genetic Adam and Eve looked like the San people of the Kalahari, and may have talked with a click language and not English as some fundies believe.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
