THESIS: Adam and Eve, of Biblical fame, were not Caucasian (aka “pinkies”) – they were Black. Black as the richest top soil…I’ll explain. [NOTE: All scripture cited below is from the KJV of the Bible.]
Genesis, Chapter 1, verse 27: “So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
So far, so good…and then God talks to them (in verse 28): “…and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply…”
Moving on to Genesis, Chapter 2, we have (verses 1 & 2): “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made…”
Okay, I get it… “…God ended his work which he had made…” But there’s a problem – some people call it the source of the “dual creation” narrative. For after He “ended his work,” we have this:
Genesis, Chapter 2, verse 7: “And the LORD God formed man…” Wait…I thought He had already done that…not only created man but – at the same time – created woman. Not only that, but He had already spoken to them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply…” – as I noted above.
Verse 7, in its entirety: “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.”
Wait…God breathes? Well, it does say, “…and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.” God breathes…got to let that sink in. Does this mean, the Jesus part of the Godhead trinity, created man? [Personal opinion: This whole Trinity concept is a fraud foisted upon us by clever men.]
Verse 7 (again): “…formed man [of] the dust of the ground…” That’s how I concluded that Adam was Black (as was Eve, since Chapter 2 cites Adam as the source of Eve). If man was formed of the dust of the ground, that “dust” had to be at least brown and was most likely black since we would expect God to form man from the richest of top soils which, of course, is black. [Any farmer knows that.]
In any event, I’ve never heard of “white (pink?) dust” – although I suppose anything’s possible.
It’s interesting to note that God didn’t create man from nothing – out of thin air – though of course He could have. He created man from the earth. Of course, that’s referring to Chapter 2, though Chapter 1 of Genesis says nothing of dust or breath into nostrils. What are we to think of the Chapter 1 version of man?
So time goes on…
…and man & woman begot children…eventually, lots of black children. Till we reach the incident of the Tower of Babel
I was discussing my thesis with a friend, who asked, “Did the original Black race have supple hair on their heads?”
I thought for a moment and offered this: “Maybe the Blacks after the Incident of the Tower were allowed to keep the skin color of the first man, Adam. But lest they think that to be an intentional mark of distinction, other marks were laid upon them. Such as what is crudely known as ‘bad hair’ and worst location – banished to such areas as might cause their suffering and exploitation (for instance, as slaves).”
My questions…
This is why I have problems with scripture – even Buddhist scripture. That last would be a problem for me in particular, since I’m a Buddhist. There are so many gaps and ambiguities in the various narratives, it’s hard to know what’s what. I won’t even get into why Eve tells the serpent, “God hath said, Ye [Adam and Eve] shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.” As if dying is a bad thing. What could she and Adam have known of dying and its implications, and how could they have known anything at all about it?
During my 59 years on this planet, I’ve noticed that people who pay too much attention to scripture – especially to the opinions of others (so-called experts, gurus, popes, famous rabbis, conservative talk show hosts, etc.) – seem to have the most problems being happy. And they seem to be the most capable of giving everybody else – who disagrees with their preferred authority figure – a hard time.
