Adam and Eve where Not the first humans on the earth , as God the Creator had people living on the earth long before Adam and Eve , as we get that from Genesis 4: 16... ``Where Cain son of Adam knew his wife ``...... So where did this wife of Cain come from since there would of being only three people in the earth according to the literal interpretation of Genesis before this scripture ....... So this scripture proves literal that there were people in the earth before Adam and Eve ...... See all this proves is that Adam and Eve were created in the image of God which is the Genesis interpretation , and these people where God first attempt to interact with People in the hope of God that people who be the children of God , which was the plan of God ...... So there were black people in Africa before Adam and Eve were created in the image of God , and this image of God which would be spirit in supernatural

Nothing in that passage indicates there were others on earth. It just states that Cain took a wife. The text does NOT say that Adam and Eve had no children besides Cain and Abel. The answer would be that Cain married his sister.

Think about it. Paul states in Romans that sin entered the world through Adam. Because we are descendants of Adam, we are sinners. If there were any humans that were not descendants of Adam, they are not sinners.

Sorry....the text says nothing of the sort.

Neither did I! It is the religious who depict him, not me.

Cain's wife was not a human.

Thousands of years ago, a non-human creature whose genetic code was extremely close to being human gave birth to a human child. That first human then mated with another non-human and created another human. After awhile, there were lots of humans running around.

The first human may have been a male or female.

Maybe, but.

Caucasians range in color from light brown to dark brown/black with slight color variations from near white, to other colors like yellow and red.

Asians range in color from light brown to dark brown/black with slight color variations from near white, to other colors like yellow and red.

"Blacks" range in color from light brown to dark brown/black with slight color variations from near white, to other colors like yellow and red.

Adam had the genes for all variations, but what he looked like as to skin pigmentation, no one knows. Probably brown as his name refers to dirt/earth and that is the primary color of dirt though it can also have yellow and red tints to it.

Were Adam and Eve Black?

The bible doesn't say. They could have been purple. What does it matter?

I don't care if he is was white, black, pink, blue or green, but at least if you all agreed he was blue, you'd have a chance of people believing you.
Does every question deserve an answer?

Your a troll...

Actually, I think it's people who say that we should understand "made in His image" to mean anything other than what it clearly states who are the ones who misunderstand.
