And to the rest, I'm familiar with evolution, but I'm trying to hear the creationist viewpoint. At least that was the intention.
But Tbh I'm really high and I don't care as much anymore

Doesn't really say anywhere in there that no other humans were created "from scratch."

It's not supposed to make sense, OP.
I liked Alan Watts' idea, that Catholic mass was way better back in the day, when it was all in Latin and you wouldn't understand any of the words.
It's just a reason to get together, chill, hang out in a tall building. You're not supposed to ask how come Rudolf's nose is red and how does a sled fly through the air with a big red flamboyant guy and a ton of presents to bring through the chimney.
It's magical
-------------------- Blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. - Matthew 13:16

A lot of Christians take Genesis as more of a symbolic account, rather than a 100% accurate and complete record of all scientific knowledge we will ever need.

So, if we all come from Adam and Eve, and then later the descendants of Noah of the ark, Where do black people come from?
Let's keep it lighthearted, I was gonna post in S&M but I don't wanna go too deep. Just stoned curiosity What say ye?!
This question assumes that all Christians are right-wing fundamentalists. The bible is a book with lots of parables that should not be taken to heart as fact.
The story of how black people came to be is as racist as it is illogical.(forgive me but I took a small artistic liberty with its telling)
One night Noah got shitfaced drunk. His kids were attempting to be respectful of his drunken stupor. Except for Ham. He came up to his brothers going "Man dad is fuckin smashed!" and making all sorts of jokes about Noah's inebriated state. The next day when Noah was sobering up, and probably had a good hangover(he got drunk on wine, afterall) his kids come up and snitch out Ham, saying shit along the lines of "Hey dad, you wont believe the smack Ham was talkin on you last night". In a fit of rage he cursed Ham and his descendents to be the slaves of man for all time.
It's believed the story was used as a way of justifying slavery and may have been added to do just that.
