The fact is that original human beings were black. That's a scientific fact. |

Why do you care? I find myself oscillating between interested, puzzled, and frustrated regarding these discussions on CG. Why the need to reconcile everything with science? There is no question that God operates per the laws of nature, but I certaily don't feel the need to understand everything. In fact, if we DID understand it all, where would faith come in?

Race is a modern construct.
Missouri is a modern construct. "Adam" is first used in Genesis to refer to humankind, although later it is used as a proper noun (different translations start thinking of it as a proper noun in different places, some as early as Genesis 2). If the earliest humans were the color black or brown that's great.

It certainly is not scientific fact. I am still having a good chuckle over that one.

This question is easy...
Adam and Eve are from the human race. Other than that, I agree with what FM said: Quote:
