Skin Color

If man was made in the image of God, I just got one question, for anyone who believes everything written in the Bible is actually the word of God, the intelligent creator of the universe and the undisputed king of knowledge. If man was created in God's image, black, white, brown, orange or any other color of the rainbow? What was his original skin color?

First let me introduce Jehovah, the same God that is worshiped by Muslims, Jews and Christians, with the exclusion of Jesus. Only the Christians believe that Jesus is God, the other two religions believe in the same God he's just referred to in different names. This God is an all-knowing being or entity that has never been seen, but has been heard by a select few. Why is God afraid to show himself?

Let's focus on his knowledge. He supposed to know everything but often asks questions. His IQ is supposedly off the charts but his writings or inspirations of them in the Bible seem to contradict themselves every once in a while.

Now let me introduce you to man. Throughout history, there have been thousands of languages spoken, along with multiple races of men spread out, over the entire planet, over thousands of years. Some of these cultures have existed for hundreds of years while others have faded away into obscurity. With that said, was the original man Caucasian, African, Mayan, Navajo, Polynesian, Egyptian, Arabic, Spanish or could the first men have possibly been a man with multiple DNA patterns.

One man that could produce different types of races.

It's hard to imagine such a wide diversity of people, with different DNA structures, bones, skin types, hair colors and other distinguishing features to have came from the same person. Let's pretend for a moment that the first man was an African. His name was Adam and he met Eve. They started to reproduce and within a thousand years, started to make white children and these white children started to make Indian children and shortly after that, these people were marrying outside of their race and culture to make all of the other people on the planet. Is this a fact or a myth?

This would be fine except for one problem. It's a story.., I just made it up. People rarely married outside of their culture or community, back then. If my story would have been in the book of Genesis though, it would have been believed by millions of people today. Hard to imagine that you could make a story into a fact and over time, back into a story.

I'm still confused about the creation of one man, who has produced over time, such a wide diversity of cultures and people. Don't forget, that God killed every air breathing creature during the great flood, except for Noah's family and all the animals that were on the ark. That means that all of the people today are ancestors of Noah.

If you're not questioning the creation of man according to the Holy Bible, you should at least question your beliefs about a book that was written by a superior entity or inspired by an intelligent God. Either way, quit accepting everything that you hear or read as the truth.
