I think perhaps you meant to say Noah. If you believe in the biblical account of the flood, then yes, everyone would be descended from Noah since he, his wife, his three sons, and their wives were all that survived the flood. Moses came much later and there were many other people living in the world then so not everyone would be his descendants.

No, I believe more in evolution and common ancestors that evolved into the species we know now. And for all of those who just believe in the bible, well it is clearly wrong on some things because it said the world was flat.

People, people. Helixqua, is kinda right. If any of you have ever learned a shred of biology you'd realize that because of homologous and analogous structures, genetic variation, mobility and random mating that evolution is possible. Scientists, like mary leaky, have found the bones to mammals that link monkeys to humans. I'm not saying the bible is all wrong, but unless you think rape, murder and ethnic cleansing is okay doke or if you believe in talking animals then your clearly too narrow-minded and just believe what other people tell you to believe.

According to the human genome project, we only have one race. It was in part trying to define the particulars on what made racial distinction but found no support for racial divisions based on its findings.
Report as
Where in the Bible does it ever tell people to go to church? I thought we lived in the era that the church was called to serve in the world.
Report as
There seems to be a lot of political correctness compromising the science of the genome project in relation to its public releases. I'm not advocating or defending prejudice but I just like stoic consistency to be the foundation of science not someone trying to prove something.

Religion, I think, has a big part in this. Usually, if you have no religion, it means you believe the big bang theory and think that everyone evolved from monkeys. For those that have a God-believing religion, they usually think that God created the universe and figures like Noah, Adam and Eve, Moses, etc. So, it all depends on if you think that we came from Noah, or came from monkey butts. (no disrespect for monkey lovers here)

Either way something came from nothing.Most logical and believable is science.
Report as
That something came from nothing is a hard idea for me to comprehend, because it is so counter-intuitive, but when I realize that God put it all in motion and that God is the author of the laws of physics, everthing clicks. For me, science and belief in God are not incompatible. I discussed my ideas with my priest, a very well-respected scholar affiliated with the University of Texas at Dallas. His exact statement to me that I've never forgotten was this: "Faith in God and belief in science are not incompatible. We should never that which is right in front of our faces."

I had this discussion with him, along with many others, BEFORE I converted to Catholicism more than twenty years ago.

I know people have a lot of resistance to the concept but I would have told the priest that there can't be any "belief" in science. Only probabilities based on tested knowledge.

Evolutionary scientists have done extensive DNA analysis of tens of thousands of people from all over the world, and they have connected humans back to a very small group of human survivors of--something. Although they cannot tell what the catastrophe was, it very likely had something to do with climate, and they think the number of females of reproductive age may have been reduced to as few as 20 to 40. This is not a theory of earliest human origins--so you who disagree, don't get all excited. It's one conclusion drawn by one group of scientists.

Thanks--I was just reading that DNA analysis of human bones found in Australia that date back 60,000 years have no mitichondrial DNA that links them to Africa.

Technically we and NOAH him self all are the descendents of ADAM. At that time there were many people along with NOAH. The companions and those survived were different people some were old and some were younger to NOAH himself. So how can be older people be descendents of NOAH.

No. Moses was a Hebrew who drew Israel out of Egypt and helped form a particular community that developed into today's Jews. If the Biblical account of Moses' life is to be interpreted literally, his descendants might be Samaritans, as only the tribes of Benjamin and Judah remained true to Judaism after the Babylonian Exile. Most Jews deny the Samaritans come from the divided monarchy and say the other tribes are now extinct.

If you go far enough back, everyone and every living thing shares a common ancestor. Even asexually reproducing life has an ancestor in common with you. But, it's highly unlikely that we are all descended from Adam, then Moses, then Noah, or however the fictional order in the Bible goes.

Could you please start using the word mythological instead of fictional? There is a significant difference.
Report as
Are myths suddenly classified as non-fiction? I don't want to offend, I just want to specify that the information provided comes from a questionable source, and I myself don't find it truthful. Tell you what: I will try to use "mythological" from now on. Can't make any promises, but I'll try.

I understand your point jk and it would be interesting to know if novelt means to say fictional knowing the difference.
I've considered using that term in some cases myself.

Raven: can you tell me what he means? Why the big puzzle?
Report as
Myth is a story used to define a collective identity. Fiction is a story for the purpose of amusement. Many f-words (oddly enough including fact) stem from a motive of deception or evil intent. Fiction, at best, has no value other than relaxation.
Report as
I'll just offer that by definition neither myth or fiction need be true but:
-- Fiction is deliberately false regardless of it content or reason of authorship.
-- Mythology is understood as a representation of the societies views that embrace the mythology; possibly on history, ethics and morality; the role of god; family responsibilities; transition of power and leadership; dietary expectations and the rest etc.
Report as
If it helps....ok. But myth is still fiction. Fiction meaning not non-fiction. Not non-fiction meaning it never actually happened. Meaning those that believe it once was actually occurring on the face of the earth are believing a lie. Does semantics help with that?
Report as
True, by definition neither myth or fiction ever happened. The difference is the role each plays in society.

I'm pretty sure you meant Noah from the flood story. I really hope you look into the facts of your question because there are tons and tons and reams and reams and thousands and thousands of science and scientist that not only does not support but actually proves conclusively beyond a shadow of a doubt that Noah's flood never actually happened and it's impossible for any of us to be descended from a mythical character called Noah.

Yeah, I answered one of the questions about Eden and the "evil serpent" that lead down a rabbit trail trying to get me to identify the writer. When I said no one knows, but tradition says Moses wrote down oral tradition, which I do not really believe, but don't discount the possibility of, he asked me if Moses was there. I like intelligent atheists. I don't like it when people try to trap me. Fortunately I was in no position to be trapped, because I read the stories as the identity of the Hebrew people in the ANE, not as some universal scientific explanation of all of reality. But still...

No, that story is based on an older story, an like all tall tales grew with age. There was no flood that covered the earth, and there was no ark with two of every animal. So that would be a big NO, we are not all descended from Noah.
