Adam & Eve ?????
How Did We All Come From Adam and Eve?

Young people, and even adults, often wonder how all the varieties or "races" of people could come from the same original human ancestors. Well, in principle, that's no different than asking how children with different color hair (i.e., blond, brunette, brown, red ) can come from the same parents who both have black hair.
How Did We All Come From Adam and Eve?
Just as some individuals today carry genes to produce descendants with different color hair and eyes, humanity's first parents, Adam and Eve, possessed genes to produce all the variety and races of men. You and I today may not carry the genes to produce every variety or race of humans, but humanity's first parents did possess such genes.
All varieties of humans carry genes for the same basic traits, but not all humans carry every possible variation of those genes. For example, one person may be carrying several variations of the gene for eye color ( i.e., brown, green, blue ) , but someone else may be carrying only one variation of the gene for eye color ( i.e., brown ). Thus, both will have different abilities to affect the eye color of their offspring.
Some parents with black hair, for example, are capable of producing children with blond hair, but their blond children (because they inherit only recessive genes) will not have the ability to produce children with black hair unless they mate with someone else who has black hair. If the blond descendants only mate with other blondes then the entire line and population will only be blond even though the original ancestor was black-haired.
In reality there is only one race - the human race - within which exists myriad variations and permutations.
The evidence from science shows that only microevolution (variations within a biological "kind" such as the varieties of dogs, cats, horses, cows, etc.) is possible but not macroevolution (variations across biological "kinds", especially from simpler kinds to more complex ones). The only evolution that occurs in Nature is microevolution (or horizontal evolution) but not macroevolution (vertical evolution).
The genetic ability for microevolution exists in Nature but not the genetic ability for macroevolution. The genes (chemical and genetic instructions or programs) for microevolution exist in every species but not the genes for macroevolution. Unless Nature has the intelligence and ability to perform genetic engineering (to construct entirely new genes and not just to produce variations and new combinations of already existing genes) then macroevolution will never be possible in Nature.

**THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!”*
Joke Time: Blonde Goes Ice Fishing
Published by djmick on February 9th, 2010
A blonde wanted to go ice fishing. She’d seen many books on the subject, and finally getting all the necessary equipment together, she made for the ice.
After positioning herself on her comfy stool, she started to make a circular cut in the ice. Suddenly, from the sky, a voice boomed,
*”THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!”*
Startled, the blonde moved further down the ice, poured a thermos of cappuccino, and began to cut yet another hole.
Again from the heavens the voice bellowed,
*”THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!”*
The blonde, now worried, gathered her things and moved away, clear down to the opposite end of the ice. She set up her stool once more and tried again to cut her hole.
The voice came once more,
*”THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!”*
She stopped, looked skyward and cried out, *”Is that you, God?”*
The voice replied,
*”NO…THIS IS THE MANAGER OF THE ICE SKATING RINK
plight of Sudan women
Sudan
Women walk miles from their West Darfur refugee camp—and risk assault by roving militiamen—to gather wood and grass for fuel.
A full sack earns some 50 cents in their camp, home to about 15,000 people.
