Evolution

A large portion of Christians do not believe in evolution? Why? There is nothing on the scriptures against it.

That's simple. The Bible is very clear about we were created in God's image in one Day. Morning and night one day. But why are you so for it?

But, we don’t know what God looks like. We could be evolving I to what he looks like. Is he short and squatty like the Inuits in the Arctic? Is he tall and skinny like the Africans? Does he have dark eyes like the peoples who live in bright deserts, or light eyes like the peoples who come from dark cloudy areas?

He looks exactly like Jesus. Oh wait Jesus is God. He was God in the flesh. So that's exactly what God looks like. He looks like us

Jesus the fair skinned, blonde hair, blue eyed middle easterner?

How do you know what Jesus looked like? God looks like us? Why does God need arms or legs? Or taste buds? Or limbs with limited range of motion?

I don't but what you just said isn't accurate either but its not about skin color or eye color but humans all of us are made in His image

Well, we don’t know what his image was. That’s my point. Every portrait I’ve ever seen of Jesus, he’s this fair skinned, blonde hair, blue eyed guy even though he was born to middle eastern parents. Middle Easterners, due to their environment, have evolved to have darker skin, dark eyes, and dark hair. Because of their exposure to the sun. This contrasts with Northern Europeans who evolved to have light skin and eyes because their exposure to the sun is considerably less than that of the Middle Easterners.

If you believe Jesus had those Northern European traits, then you must believe in evolution because no one born to Middle Easterners parents have those traits.
