Change in skin colouration, along with other adaptations, has to do with prolonged exposure to a certain environment, not purely genetics.

To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

They would have been black.

Because Bible scholars have traced Eden to somewhere in Africa.

Also, science supports this. We've traced back to a mitochondrial Eve that left Africa, and she was black. So it fits.

Africa = black?  That sounds kind of racist.  I on the other hand, am open-minded.

Don't be ridiculous.

Africa=black because that's how the adaptations for such an environment would manifest. White people could not survive in such an environment.

Exactly.  The sky can be many different colors.  To assume that it is always blue is foolish in my opinion.

I consider anyone who tries to break down the stories in the bible, as if they were factual stories, to be uneducated.

:/
i am in fact agnostic, and don't believe in it.
i was just wondering what other people's views were.

The Garden of Eden is, according to the Bible, near four rivers that are a bit north of the continent of Africa anyways.  As in, the Middle East.

That would be another foolish assumption.  I have knowledge in more subjects than you think, but with an open mind you can believe anything you want.

So just because there is no evidence does not mean it never happened.

Everything I've read suggested the Chad area.
