Ham, Shem, Japheth
historical people? direct sons of Noah? There are so many varieties of mankind on this Earth, I don't believe it could have come through three couples (Ham, Shem, Japheth and their respective wives). I do believe we all have one origin, I do not believe in "multi-regional" theories on mankind's origins. If anyone has some advice on this matter, please let me know!

Yes, and I'm sure you can quote scientists and link to pages that say the same. And then I could quote scientists and link to pages that counter the claim. Now, perhaps you have taken the time to study biochemistry, genetics, statistical analysis, and related subjects and can walk through each argument's strengths, weaknesses, identify their basic assumptions and underlying theories, etc. If so, then perhaps someone here can discuss with you on that level. But given the relatively few number of people who have done those studies, I am willing to bet that you "don't believe it could have come through three couples" because you've been told as much. In other words, that's something I'm willing to bet you are taking on faith.There are so many varieties of mankind on this Earth, I don't believe it could have come through three couples (Ham, Shem, Japheth and their respective wives).
I'm not saying that makes you wrong, of course. But it does go to any advice you might be willing to receive . . .

There are some Christians who think that Noah's flood happened many tens of thousands of years ago. There are some who believe that it did not actually kill all people. There are some who think it was just a fictional story all the way around. There are others who think the flood happened a relatively short time ago and that the genetic diversity we see in people is explainable. What I don't think you can do is start with the scientific question of genetic diversity and then read your answer to that back into the text of Scripture. You would do better to read the text itself and ask what it teaches, and then ask how what it teaches compares to how various people are interpreting the scientific data, and then finally ask who you believe (if you aren't capable of doing your own independent analysis).
And that, brothers and sisters, is the kind of foolishness you get people who insist on denying biblical theism. A good illustration of any as the length people will go to avoid acknowledging basic truths.Proinsias wrote:I don't think you are hearing me. Preference for ice cream is a moral issue

Re: Ham, Shem, Japheth
I don't like these kind of debates anymore...so I will just say this research the facts yourself, science and scripture. As for me as far as science is concerned, if you look at genetics it is impossible to get the kind of diversity we have from 3 males, or even 3 couples. We have genetic markers which belong to more than 3 males or 3 couples.

Re: Ham, Shem, Japheth
OK, so we know now that Adam and Eve had sons and daughters who were not mentioned, at it was one of those unnamed daughters who was Cain's wife. Is it possible that Noah's three sons and their wives had male and female descendents who were not mentioned in Genesis? When I look at the Table of Nations, it seems to me that Moses only mentions the parts of the world that were relevant to the people he was speaking too; Nations that the Hebrews at that time would have had dealings with or would have known of. What is everybody's thoughts on this?

I suggest you take a pen and cross out all passages of the Bible you find beyond belief or lacking credibility. Start at Genesis 1 and work your way to Revelation 22, right to the very end.King wrote:If anyone has some advice on this matter, please let me know!

Don't listen to FL, I bet he doesn't take all of the Bible literally.
1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

That's what I believe. I now know I don't need anyone to validate it except God Himself. And I will pray and study. Furstentum Liechtenstein, we are both in our thirties so "cyber-bullying" is not our thing. God Bless.

You would do well to do the same exercise I suggested to King.Danieltwotwenty wrote:Don't listen to FL, I bet he doesn't take all of the Bible literally.

If you do the exercise I suggested (but I know you won't) I bet you'd be surprised at how little of the Bible you find credible.

I'm afraid FL wasn't in his thirties since Shem, Ham, and Japeth were a twinkle in Noah's eye.

Thanks, Rick D. I apologize if my strong language toward FL offended you. I just needed for him to know I'm not as dumb as he looks!

FL isn't a gay white devil. And *** is not allowed on this forum.
FL is Canadian. That's more of an insult than anything else you can say.

Rick D, I might be wrong about Noah's descendents having unnamed sons and daughters. Point me in a direction where I can better understand how the entire globe was populated.
