I know that YOU know this but some folks need to be reminded. We all started out from the same place so we are all related to one another. We are colorful on the surface but the same inside. Right?

Whether you are a religious person or an Atheist life began someplace and from that inauspicious beginning we are here now.  More the same than different despite some who think they are set apart. They aren't. They are one of us.

    So true. Even after natural disasters almost wiped out humans all of us can trace our DNA to seven families that survived.

    Have worked all around the world I can attest people are the same everywhere on this planet.

    Even if we disagree on principles or religions we share the same home.

    If we all started from the same place we would all look the same wouldn't we? same race?

    Really?

    What proof do you have that life on this planet originated with a single event or point and that all subsequent life forms came forth from that single event or point? The Bible opens the door to the possibility that even human life started with more than Adam and Eve. (Just where did Cain's wife come from?)

    Why would you think that?

    Look for yourself. DNA evidence all points to a very close relationship between all human beings, (all one species, all one race), with a common ancestor originating from Africa some few hundred thousand years ago. Very little, if any, evidence supports Genesis as anything more than a mythological version of human origins.

    Thank you for the implied "atta girl Rpf. So many people are so ignorant about the origins of humans. It should embarrass them but I think they aren't knowledgeable  enough to recognize that. And so they plod along in their ignorance thinking something is wrong with everyone who doesn't agree with them. Ignorance per petuates ignorance. Sadly.  Happy Monday! :)

    You're the one that needs to take a look. (You should really try to have some understanding of a subject before you try to use it to form an argument.)

    96% of the DNA you refer to (actually 98.5% of the actual, "working" DNA)  making us "common" is also "common" between chimpanzees and humans. Perhaps you think, incorrectly, that humans "evolved" from that different species. Even mice and humans share about 97.5% of their "working DNA. (Seems that a LOT of the DNA in most, if not all species has no known function.)

    As to all (human) life originating in in Africa . . . that's a common postulation based on the very, VERY limited "information" we have so far. Nothing found yet excludes life as we currently define it (human or otherwise) from having also originating elsewhere on the planet.

    As to Genesis . . . I wasn't making an argument for the Bible as you ignorantly seem to think. I was merely pointing out that it too opens the possibility of multiple origins of life, particularly human life.

    You've got to read more than magazines with titles that start with the word "Popular" and you've got to open your mind to have even a prayer of understanding the world around you and how it got to where it is.

  • If that.was true then everybody would be.black.

    Everybody knows that.

    What about China and Britain? Are you saying there are.Mexican and English Adams and Eves?

    I mean, can't be, 

    Embarrassing actually.

    Yes.   We are all the same on the soul level.  That is correct.  Right and wrong are physical matters in the physical matter.

    Lol, well, I have done so, and I don't think we are descended from chimps. Even schoolchildren are taught better than that nowadays; at least the ones not receiving religion-based "education".
    Ah, but you just go right ahead and tell me what I know, how I learned it, and what it's led me to believe. It seems to make you happy, so knock yourself out.
