I am not sure what Adam and Eve looked like. It is hard to see how they produced anyone other than their kind.
In my limited view it seems many people of different color and features and languages must of came when babel was destroyed by God and gave different languages and the people spread out in different areas. Each area they settled in needed different features imo.
so who can help me better understand how mankind became so varied ?

Don't fuss or judge me, lol.
But my belief,
God created male and female on the 6th day, of all races.
And it was good.
Then He placed the Christ seed in the garden, had no man to till the ground, a husbandman.
Adam and Eve, was from which the Christ seed would be born.
His story, history.
Mother of all living, through Christ, for God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
As you can see in Gen.5:2
Male and female created He them, and called their name Adam, mankind.
Then during the flood, Noah was told to take two of all flesh, took 2 of all animals, why not 2 of all races?
Of course there were 8 Adamic souls upon the Ark, the Christ seed.
Some say, as you, that they developed that way depending upon the region.
I just do not believe that dna changes like that.
For example:
You put an African American in Alaska, and live there for a long time, he will not change his color, nor his offspring, unless, they mix with another race, nor will he and his offspring get slanted eyes.
Just my belief, as why, how.....
Could be wrong....

Adam and Eve look like,
The man Adam means,
Strong's #119
Show blood in the face, flush or turn rosy, red, ruddy.
In 1Sam.16:12
David was ruddy....

Skin color and genetics are not so connected.some things are inherited but not done so in the genes.I'm not an expert

Thanks Dianegcook
I had not thought of all races being created at same time as Adam and Eve; Ill think on that a little.
But it does make sense.
I would have to think the flood was not world wide,, in the strict since of killing all, it could have left some that were not important to the history that saves all who believe in Christ.
On the comment about people being scattered at babel I was not clear; I meant God changed their language and features
as they travelled. I did not mean to imply they changed just by living in a new land they went to. sorry bout that.

Yes, it could be that also, the flood not being world wide, or 2 of all flesh.
But, I really think God created all the races.
He likes variety.
Different kinds of dogs, snakes, cats, on and on.....
I do not mean it to be racist.
Christ died for all mankind.

Good speaking to you, thanks for being kind and open minded.
 
Can I scream this like Greg on The Five on Fox News Channel? I HATE TO SAY THIS! You see, DNA (I no longer have alin to it) has proven every man woman and child on the Earth is the product of a single woman. Black, brown, yellow, brown or white, our ancestry traces back to one woman, Eve. You see, I am so often against science that I hate to use it to rove anything but it does prove the scripture account to be correct in this case.

Further along we are closer than that in relation because a careful read f the passages proves that there were four husbands and four wives on the Ark and they were allon one family structure so Noah and his wife are also the mother and the father of us all,

Here I go again with science but in their efforts to prove Macro Evolution the scientists have proven Micro Evolution.There is one very large difference. In Macro Evolution Man comes from single cell, as does everything that lives on our planet. In Micro Evolution we find Finches in a wide assortment of colors and bills of differing lengths. These are found in groups in different locations around the planet and in the different areas there are different pants of different colors and so me of the plants that have shallow throated flowers and and in other reions their food is shallow throated and they have adapted to the conditions. Either that or God created them indifferent colors amd blessed some, where needed. with long beaks.

Sorry Bill it must have went right over my head; I do not see an answer to my question in your post. I do not believe evolution had any play on different races of humans. At some point after the first day God made some men different than other men I do not see when he did, but for me it is not evolution that caused this difference. I thought Babel may have been when it was done but after Dianegcook post she could be right.

No, that answer is not scriptural and in scripture we find only truth. With the DNA we see scientific proof of what the Bible, God´s record of what has been, is and is to come and God only created one man and one woman. The different appearances are the hand of God molding mankind to survive his individual locations conditions. Once again, the finches, other birds, fish and animals, from the view of science demonstrate the adaptation God has applied that the whole world runs smoothly... until man monkeys with things.

Hi Bill I do feel that God made mankind in different shapes and sizes and colors and different features. I may have misstated my question. I was not questioning if God made the differences but when did a man get slant eye or when did a man become white, black brown or red that sort of thing. It seemed to me it had to be after the flood if only 8 souls were saved.
 
If you think about it logically everyone was pretty much the same up until the account of the Tower of Babel, when God changed everyone's speech and they were forced to spread out over the earth. From there you have people moving into Africa, out east into Asia, up into Europe, etc... Their languages developed over time, as well as their appearances. Those who lived in Africa became more dark skinned because of their environment (very sunny, and hot). Those who lived in Europe became more pale skinned (cloudy for most of the year, and relatively cooler).

I believe Adam and Eve were probably more akin in skin color to those who live in the Middle East as that is where they were created.

Ok, let us say you are right,
How come the blacks, with out mixing, are still black in America?
There are whites living in Africa, they have not turned black.
If you are white, and do not mix with other races, your offspring will be white, no matter, where you live.
Why haven't everyone here, be as the Indians?

Think about the amount of time it took each group of people to have develop their current skin color (thousands of years). Contrast that with when the people you are identifying moved to those same regions (considerably less time), so their skin has not had the time to be conditioned for that climate.

yes I have been thinking along those lines. Now in my version after or along the way to where people were scattered God must have made the change in their appearance. I can not think living in a place made them change features or colors it had to be Gods works. I am not big on they evolved into those features or colors. Now I could have it all wrong so seeking others thoughts. I pretty much go along with you though.
 
so who can help me better understand how mankind became so varied ?
The Bible makes it very clear that the human race is one race descended from Adam and Eve, that all are sinners, that all will die, that all face eternal separation from God, and that all need to be saved by grace through faith. See Romans 5.

As to the distinctions based upon geography, they would go back to the three sons of Noah and their descendants after the Flood and after the dispersion at Babel. What needs to be understood by Christians regarding the human race is stated in Acts 17:24-31:

God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by
that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
 
The geographic distribution of UV radiation (UVR) and the distribution of indigenous skin pigmentation around the world is why people have different skin coloring

I agree with the 1 and 3 comment the second I do agree with but it still does not answer the question I asked.
