Where did they come from?

While driving to NY this morning, Milt's "Burning in Hell" post made me think, "where'd they come from?"

Various races that is. If the Bible is the infallible Word of God(TM), why is there absolutely nothing about how the various races were created in it? If Adam and Eve were two Race X people, how'd we get so much variation in race, and furthermore, if God saved only Noah and his family, did Noah's family represent ever race as we know it today? And how did the Chinese language and Native American language and a few hundred others form in only a few thousand years, and better yet, WHY? If Noah and his family got off the Ark, why would they populate the world and then create completely different languages and modes of communication?

His Word provides us with what he wants us to know. I'll deduce that He does not think we need to know this right now. I am sure it will be revealed to us when the 5 nations attack Israel. Can't wait.

Here's my next question: Why is the habanero-lime salsa I just got as mild as succotash?

Shaun, have you ever read the Bible? I suspect not. It addresses both issues you have raised.

Just looked it up, thanks, appears to be the answer.

pretty sad really. God creates us, we f'up, finds one good guy and his family, destroys the rest of the world, and in just a few generations we're trouble again. Makes you wonder why he didn't just end it all instead of scattering across the Earth.

God isn't so good in the futures market, that's for sure.

You may be right but at least you can get real heart attack food back east.

Whenever I'm in Cali seems the most cholesterol inducing item I can find is a whole wheat watercress and avocado sandwich with fresh squeezed wheatgrass juice.

Long live Pelican and OT! Where did all these people come from, indeed?

I just love it when the answer is "read the Bible."

No, you tell us.


Every time someone quotes the Bible, someone else quotes what seems to be a contradiction...

from the Bible.

The salsa out there just needs time to evolve.

I have a theory, which is not just my own fabrication...The various races are from extraterrestrial origin, various waves of colonization that occured during the past. The original humans might have come from the african continent, and be the black people. Then you have the tall blond type, the asian type...those came afterwards.

Yup, once you read the Bible (both OT and NT), it will all make sense.

It's all there expressed in a realistic, reasonable and clear manner and everything seems quite obvious after you turn the last page.


Best,

Kurt
