One of my biggest questions about the flood is this?
Where did black people come from?
From all accounts, the flood is reputed to have occurred some time between 3000 BC and 2300 BC. That is from 5000 to 4300 years ago.
Given that Noah was directly descended from Adam, and nobody in Noah’s family had black skin, how is it that people in Africa developed black skin in under 3000 years. We know that the Roman armies captured black prisoners from Africa and brought them back to Italy. So sometime in the 3000 years between the flood and Rome’s African conquests, Noah’s descendants in Africa developed black skin.
Can somebody please explain to me how that is possible. Because humans have not physically evolved much in the 2000 years since then. We have generally gotten taller, but I can’t think of many changes besides that.
So how was it that Noah’s descendants evolved from olive skinned people to Nigerian black in just 3000 years? I have always wanted somebody to explain this to me in provable scientific terms.
How do you know Adam or Noah had “white”skin...or was not darker skinned? There is no mention of their skin color in the biblical documents.
The flood was either local, or maybe God changed the color of people’s skins (as well as their language) at the tower of Babel. Who really knows?
