Another ? about creationists..how do they explain the brown and yellow |
|
people. Let's say, just for the purpose of this discussion, that Adam and Eve were caucasians. How did some of their offspring wind up changing skin colors? Changing facial characteristics? (leave out responses that they don't think non-caucasions are important, since I think they have to admit that they exist.)

1. They used to say that Noah's son Ham was black. |
|
They used it to justify slavery. Noah got really drunk one day and passed out naked. Ham saw him all drunk and naked, and covered him up. Noah woke up and took offense that his son had covered him, so he cursed Ham's son (Canaan) to be a slave.

2. They were not god's chosen ones |
|
according to the OT, the Israelis were the chosen people and the Christians see themselves has the continuation of that lineage. Everyone else is swiss cheese. That's why they can kill them all off with such impunity.

6. That is not my question.. |
|
I'm not asking for a debate on Jews or Catholics, one of which I happen to be.
I'm asking whether anyone knows how creationists explain the other 'races' in the world, if evolution does not exist, or if home sapiens did not evolve in more than one location.

7. I'm hoping for an answer to my question similar to the dino explanation.. |
|
and it is a real question on my part. I'd respectfully prefer that you not respond with your views on Jews or Christians, or their treatment of other people as you perceive it, which has nothing to do with my question.
