The family of Adam and Eve
119 Answers
The theory of the evolution of man is the product of science at its most ridiculous. Adam and Eve were two adult human beings created by God just after he created the universe. They were the first and only people on the planet, and they were the forebears of the whole human race.
So how do creationists account for the diverse physical appearances of the assortment of peoples inhabiting the earth today? It stands to reason that most of them do not bear a family resemblance.

i just tend to remember that man created god and thus the stories are written by man as an explanation for what thinkers at that time could understand.
many religions and beliefs have two people to start with, eg. australian aboriginals, but they were brother and sister.
pantheonism, where you have 'the god/ess of ...' is also very popular in many faiths. i like the mother nature notion personally. what will be will be and its all been going for millions of years.

As an atheist I too often wonder why no religious person has ever explained or answered the question:
If Adam and Eve had two sons then surely some form of incest had to take place for the human race to progress and evolve?
As well as a virgin birth there wasn't a male birth in the bible as well, was there?

how do creationists account for the diverse physical appearances of the assortment of peoples inhabiting the earth today? The same way as scientists do.
It seems possible that the 'great migration' by early humans out of Africa may have involved very few people - maybe only 100, as I understand it. That's more than two, of course, but not much more, and still a very small number to be the ancestors of most of the 6 billion people on the planet today.
