In the children's bible made in Africa they are brown-skinned.
However, if they where made of dirt, wouldn't they be rather brownish? Pinkish-beige dirt is not that common, is it.
That's wonderful, sweetie. Now, if you don't mind, we grown-ups need to discuss something.
ETA: I've seen paintings, and Mary loved to dress up as a Renaissance Italian.
Right! Because, as we all know, illustrations in children's book are always well researched and absolutely correct. Good job, Bella.
"i have a children's bible w/illustrations and adam and eve were Caucasian."
And what were those illustrations based on, hmmm? Sorry to burst your bubble Bella dear, but mere drawings are not PROOF.
Now go away, the adults are talking.
Well, yes, yes they were. God didn't bake them long enough. Now, Kain and his brother, well... They were black as a coal, 'cause god kept them too long in the oven. Only with America's natives he had done it right.
P.S. I like my story better. Do you? :)
You can look at pictures in a children's book. Your parents must be so proud.
Also, you should need a license or something to be allowed to post on Yahoo Answers. You know, something based on a basic intelligence test or something to weed out the idiots.
Let's see, I have Babar, a number of Dr. Suess books, Clifford, and one of the Disney version of Robin Hood. What an interesting world we are in, considering what we see in children's books are all true!
Oh, and don't forget the cyclopic, monorhinal, avian, indigo, homo-sapianivore.
(See...it's called using your mind, fundies)
Unless it's illustrated with photographs, I don't think it counts.

"Republicans and fundies"?
You misspelled "are".
@ Anon-e-moose
Sorry to burst your bubble Bella dear, but mere drawings are not PROOF.
The drawings of Hussein's mobile WMD labs worked for Powell. Republicans and fundies. Tsk tsk tsk.
merciful mother: I'm sorry, while ever nation has idiots, only the the US idiots make idiots of themselves in public.
At least the fundies aren't as obviously nasty as the racists on RSTDT
WOW!!! Is this the same children's bible that has pictures of a virgin birth, a man resurrected from the dead and a person living inside of a whale. I've seen it too!! Amazing how some colorful ink can be thrown onto a canvas (or book) and all of a sudden it is the holy word of an almighty force. I'll stick with my X-men comics...the colors are prettier.
Lots of winners in that Y! answers thread.
"Maybe a mixing of colors,not white or black or asian or whatever, but a mix of colors we have never seen. Science has proven that all colors of people are found in the soil. Interesting isn't it?"
^ Whaaat?
To be fair, the question is "Were Adam & Eve black people?", and Bella's FULL answer was:
"i'm not sure.
i have a children's bible w/illustrations and adam and eve were Caucasian."
I don't think she was claiming the children's book to be the ultimate source of knowledge on the subject.
I can't help but notice how she capitalizes the 'c' in 'caucasian', but nothing else.
I'd say she's a middle-schooler at most, though.
Another example of that great Christian ethos, If its in a book, its true, be it the bible, or harry potter...
From that same thread: "Adam and Eve were not black. Most Bible readers believe that the first black was Canaan, son of Ham, son of Noah. He was cursed when he laughed at Noah." - What? So the first black guy was black because he was punished for laughing? Are you fucking kidding me?

Only if your house is made of straw or sticks!
I'm with Enlightened, not so much fundie as naive. The poster is a 12 year old girl.
That said, at that age the Virgin Mary was being married off to the ninety-year-old widower Joseph (according to the Catholic Encyclopedia).
Creating people who had to live outside with no clothes and were really pale seems like a bad idea. Although sunburn must have only existed after the magic evil fruit was eaten.
This seems too stupid to be real.
Well, since it was in a children's bible, with illustrations [!] no less, then it MUST be true. There is no way in hell that someone just used their imagination.
A young nephew of mine has a comic of the Flintstones. They have cars with wheels like a steamroller. He wants one of those when he grows up.
Idiot! Adam and Eve are allegorical characters to explain what people of Biblical times could not define in scientific terms.
As to being Caucasian, I suppose you are darker-skinned than I am, I being of Celtic stock and coming from a place where it rains most of the time and has very little sun. So I must be more Caucasian than you! Heavens, I hope your skin is not too tanned. You might find it hard to live with yourself.
You are an insult to our common humanity!
EDIT:
I've just spotted this is a 12 year old. A 12 year old using terms like Caucasian? I suspect a racist adult is guiding the pen. She could grow up into a White Supremacist yet.
This has to be the worst reason to believe ANYTHING that I've ever seen.
Not even, "I read it in the Bible," but "an artist's interpretation of a Bible story proves it must be so."
OK Two questions.
1) I wasn't aware Adam and Eve came from Eastern Europe!
2)God creates Adam and then from his Rib Eve. If the horrors of Sex came after Eve ate from a piece of fruit, why wasn't Adam's friend a carbon copy? ie another Adam? Why did Eve have breasts and a Vagina, which conveniently is used by all sexual animals to help reproduction. God gave Adam a Penis that when aroused, etc, ejaculated. Not needed in the Garden of Eden. He makes a woman with genitalia to suit reproduction and supple her young!
Why? We know from the "Good book" he didn't add anything. He just made a proclamation that Child Birth would hurt and Man would have to till the earth. So why create Eve, originally with sexual organs more compatible to reproduction and child care?
We need to know!
I have several Hulk comics where he's gray, I hear there's even a red Hulk now.
Not an entirely relevant comment,,,just saying,,,Marvel is the new mythology to some
I'm hoping this is a Poe.
If she wasn't a Poe, wow do I wonder how she lived for so long. You know, if she wasn't a Poe, I'd bet if she made a reply like that in front of you and you smacked her upside the head, she'd be too dense to feel a thing.
Your book may show them as Caucasian. That does nothing to prove that they were actually Caucasian, or that they even existed at all.
Just because Mickey Mouse can talk doesn't mean mice can actually talk, sweetpea.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
