This was an intresting morning coffee conversation.
"what was the colour of Adams eyes?"
Those familiar with basic biology understand the amusing aspect of this simple question. And those who believe bible as words of God might get crossed, yet again.

Sounds like a simple question, but understand that whatever colour it was, every single human should then have the same colour.

Heterozygous brown?

What about Eve's eyes?

Well, she was created out of his rib...

...Lol.

I guess that's the end of that little foray into myth and legend.

If Eve was created from a rib, like magic, then why question Adam's eye color? It's all magic, doncha know?

Why would everyone HAVE to have the same color? What if Adam and Eve's children recieved recessive genes or dominant genes or a combination of both. What about Eve's eyes? Are you assuming they must have the same color since she was made of his rib? Are you then assuming they have the same DNA? Adam would have to have a recessive gene and a dominant gene, therefore Eve would also have to have a recessive gene and a dominant gene - both of their eyes would have to be brown, but if they passed recessive genes on to their offspring then their offspring could have had blue or green eyes.

Hey, I have a question about Adam and Eve...if they were created to populate the earth...they had two sons...where did these two sons find wives? Could it be God created other people, but the bible only speaks of Adam and Eve? Does anyone know? Or maybe Adam and Eve had other children but the bible ony mentions Cain and Abel...but that would mean there was some incest going on and we all know freaky things can happen to our genes once incest is involoved? Is that how we got recessive genes?

BTW, My dad and sister both have green eyes. My mom and I have brown eyes. Of all my cousins, I'm the only one with brown eyes.

Hmm. My mom has hazel eyes, as do I. My dad and my sis have blue eyes.

My wife's eyes are blue (I think. Shit, I should remember that). I wonder what my kids' will be.

If you have hazel eyes, then I believe you have two recessive genes. If your wife has blue eyes, then she has two recessive genes. Because both of you have only recessive genes , then obviously you can only pass on recessive genes to your kids. I believe hazel is dominant over blue, so I would say your kids are going to have hazel eyes. I have brown eyes and my ex has green eyes...both of our kids have brown eyes but carry a dominant (from me) and recessive (from their dad) gene. Since my dad has green eyes, I obvisouly have a recessive gene from him. If I had passed on my recessive gene then my kids would have had green eyes.

And find out what color your wife's eyes are!! Goodness, man


History of eye colors

I know! I'm a bad husband.


I remember going through all this stuff in my genetics classes; there seems to be more than the brown/blue gene, though.

Until I was around five, my eyes were blue. After that, they alternated between green, blue and gray, depending on my clothes. In my early twenties, I wore a red shirt to work every day which brought out the green in my eyes but it seems that it also stopped them from changing! I've been green eyed for about 20 years now.
My father has blue eyes, my mother brown...same thing with my ex's parents. My ex has blue eyes as do my kids and granddaughter but my grandson's are brown. I'm the only green eyed person in the family!

Okay, I asked my mom and she went to get my dad's bible study books.

Wycliffe Bible Commentary:
The Book of Genesis does not answer the oft-repeated question: Where did Cain get his wife? It does make it clear that other sons and daughters were born to Adam and Eve. It also presents the lapse of many years (maybe hundreds of years) before Cains marriage experience. Since all life came from the first divinely created human pair, it is necessary to conclude at some time brothers and sister married each other. By the time Cain was ready to set up a home, Adam and Eve had numerous descendants. It is not at all necessary to imagine another race of people already well established in the world. Cain's wife was one of the family of Adam and Eve.

Okay, so the human race is based on incest according to the bible. Cain would have had to marry a sister or neice. It's kind of a creepy thought to think we all came of incest.

At the time of Cain's marriage, there was no law against marrying close relations.
