I take it Noah was a jew, a member of god's chosen people, right? And if you believe this
bible book, all people on planet earth are Noah's descendants, well, then we're all part of
the jewish race (so to speak), right? Right?
Just when you thought racists couldn't look any dumber. 😵

Well, he was the first of the chosen people, clearly. Or did your god choose yet another
group over the rest later on? You have to forgive me for not keeping up, for your god seem
a bit fickle.
Well, in any case, all humans descend from Noah, so we're all of the same people,
originally, if not jews. Ha! My argument stands up again.

Originally posted by KellyJayWell, according to Hebrew mythology, wasn't every single one of Adam's descendants ~ except for Noah and his immediate family ~ deliberately killed by their God and thus wiped off the face of the earth? If all the ethnic/racial diversity we have on earth now purportedly stems from Noah's sons and them only, surely Noah's genes are a more appropriate benchmark for human ancestry?
Why Noah, why not Adam?

from Noah isn't different than saying you are from Adam with the exception
you are going back a little bit more.

christians who also happen to be racists. But of course, if I see something about your
religion that doesn't make sense to me, I point it out, not as cheap shots, but sincere
queries. Your faith should be strong enough to handle it, me thinks.
Originally posted by KellyJayNo, not really. We have no way of knowing what ethnicities/races supposedly descendant from Adam were deliberately annihilated by the Hebrew God according to the literature about Him, but we do know that people who subscribe to this mythology believe that all current races that exist on earth date back to Noah's sons. Noah seems to be the key seeing as Adam's descendants [along with their developing racial diversity] were completely killed off except for a single family. Presuming Noah's sons were the same race as him, and that Noah was most likely from only one of many different races descendant from Adam [and therefore probably a different race from him], Noah really does seem to be the more pivotal mythological figure when it comes to racial diversity on earth.

Genesis 7:7
And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.
Noah was father to some on the boat, but father in law to others, and the
husband to one. Adam would be the only one that everyone could say they
were related by blood.
