If Adam and Eve are white

To people who deny evolution: If Adam and Eve are white, and evolution doesn't exist, why are there black people?

[quote=WhatssUpFool]well thats why he said "if"[/quote]

He wasn't using the "if" factor in that context. He was using it as an implication that people who don't believe in evolution also believe that Adam and Eve were white. So the more accurate chain of thought is : If you don't believe in evolution, and if you believe that adam and eve were white, then where did black people come from?

lmao, this is the reason why i just stopped reading reddit. Honestly, these threads are stupid. I'm pretty sure I won't meet any of you guys, so I don't care what you believe to be right or wrong. In the end we all die, so let's get along

Eve cheated on Adam with a tall muscular black bear that could run fast and play sports well.

Yeah, evolution is BS, right there next to germ theory and gravity.

[quote=MarxMaster]What about body shape and facial structure? I don't think I'm gonna grow a bigger nose if I lived farther north. -_-[/quote]

This is also a stupid question. Distance is not the deciding factor of skin color nor was it what I was implying: temperature (or more importantly UV rays) are. The more UV rays present, the darker your skin needs to be in order to absorb them. Africa is near the equator, therefore, it experiences more UV rays and you need darker skin.

White people on average have much larger noses than black people so I don't know where you're getting your logic. Black people tend to have larger nostrils but as far as sheer size of the noses go, white people followed by asians have larger noses.

Second, you will get a larger nose if you live higher up in altitude or the quality of your air is more poor. You need wider nostrils to increase the surface area for vacuuming air into your nose and a longer nose (like white people) to filter out unwanted things in the air. This also applies to asians and their huge nostrils. The higher altitudes mean they need more air to compensate for lower levels of oxygen in the air.

Because temperature and altitude change your skin color so the children of Adam and Eve could potentially be any color under the sun. Don't be stupid.

They all are, every living being is evolving.

[quote=LadyLovely]Different climates. Africa has lots of sun so darker skin. East Asia has less sun so that's why lots of Asians are pale. Mexico has medium amount of sun so that's why they're brown... LOL.[/quote]

[quote=greenelf]Adaption = Evolution[/quote]
Well technically adaptation would be a specific group (let's use workers) while evolution would be a change in an entire population. They gain muscles working. That is an adaption. But if they have children, the children do not have (big) muscles. Evolutionary changes would be inherited.

Adaption CAUSES evolution, but they aren't the same thing.

[quote=CowBlubber]Living things adapt to their environment, duh. LadyLovely has it basically right, the climate demanded change, so they did. White and living in Africa=massive sunburns. So they adapted slowly. People don't deny evolution, they deny the evolution of man from monkeys. I wouldn't really classify this as evolving anyway, because "evolve" has the connotation of massive change, not slight physical alterment.[/quote]

Evolution is evolution. Incremental changes lead to larger changes overall.

If by "people who deny evolution" you mean creationists that believe in the Bible, it's most likely around the time in Genesis during the Tower of Babel language mix-up thingy.
