If the story of Adam and eve is true, then does that mean we are all related?

Also if so, how come people are different skin colours?If the story of Adam and eve is true, then does that mean we are all related?
The creation stories in Genesis are allegories. There was never one man named Adam and one woman named Eve.





But we are all related, if you go back far enough to the first hominids. Different skin colors, eye colors, hair colors, different sexualities, left handedness / right handedness, are all normal variations in development.If the story of Adam and eve is true, then does that mean we are all related?
The story of Adam and Eve is not literally true but we _are_ all related. We are all human. Scientists have a couple of theories about the differing skin colors. Check out the link below.





The Garden of Eden was not a real place. It was a state of consciousness. The story of Adam and Eve is allegorical. They are symbolic figures, not real individuals. They symbolize the 1st humans that rose above animal-man.





The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil symbolizes self awareness or the knowledge of the duality of spirit and matter. Eating the fruit of this tree (the apple) separates the time when humanity was animal in nature and one w/ Nature and God naturally.





God gave the gift of human intelligence to animal-man as a spark or lightning bolt. This is symbolized as the snake. Suddenly humanity recognized its separation from God (the duality of spirit and matter). this is symbolized by the expulsion (separation) from the Garden (the state of oneness w/ God in Nature).





There was no real apple or disobedience. There was no original sin. Real power lies in the hands of those who write history and create the mythos upon which a society is based. The Bible was written by men from an ancient patriarchal culture. The easiest way to keep women and slaves in their place is to say that God ordained it that way and then produce a book to prove it.
If the story of Adam and Eve is true, then it would be quite likely that the story of Noah and the ark was also true. So it wouldn't really matter what happened with Adam and Eve because everyone would be descendants of Noah. And I think the bible mentions something about one of Noah's sons being dark skinned. So perhaps Noah's wife had a love affair with a black man like Tiger Woods.
It is called melatonin, we al have different levels that is what controls our skin color. Adam and Eve were carries of all the genes we now possess. The number of different children genetically that one couple can produces is more varied than the stars in the sky. A great example fo this is several couples that have had twins were one twin was what we would call black and the other white. When in truth we all are just different shades of brown.
A great question! From my understanding, yes, as we all have the same Father that Loves us all equally. In Truth there are no skin colors, however in this world I would imagine skin colors would be necessary (over time) to allow for joy in various climates as a Father will always want His children to be joyous, even if those children can't see or hear that Loving Father.
All humans DO NOT come from Adam %26amp; Eve alone.





All the races were created on the 6th day of creation:


';Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...';





Adam and Eve were created after God rested on the 7th day, which means they were created on the 8th day:





';Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.';





This word ';man'; should have been translated ';THE man';, a specific person and not a men in general.





all the races were created on the 6th day of creation and THE MAN Adam was created on the 8th day after God rested on the 7th day.
ok....if it is true, then yes we are all related.


also, if it is not true, then we are all related.





skin color can develop as a result of environment.


i.e. people who live under the sun are likely to be darker.
yes





the skin color is just a gene change in our dna





science in dna study have verified that all current people living today descend from one women.





its programed in our dna the skin color as well as hair color and color of the eyes
yes, its true to an extent - i've added this link explaining about Mitochondrial Eve

If Mendelian genetics is true, and it is, we are all related as well. In fact it can be shown that mathematically all your ancestors from 3000 years ago must be shared with virtually all humans.
yes, we are all related. As humans scattered over the earth, different skin tones faired better in different climates and became more dominant.
It is true we are all related, but it comes from a common ancestor many millenniums ago.
Yep we are all related. When scientists mapped the human genome they found we are all the same kind under our skin...we all carry the entire human code which means we all could have a black or white baby!
We ARE all related, and it has nothing at all to do with your favorite fairy tale. How could it be otherwise? All life on Earth is related.
Incest... Fun for entire family...
Yes we are all related, and we have different skin colours because that's how God did it when he scattered us.
1.Yes some how


2.Because we are made out of different soil i believe :P
Yeah, we could be 100th cousins
