Adam and Eve before the fall were white like milk! After the fall this is not true of anyone but Christ.

Adam and Eve, and Jesus, were albinos? Well, that would explain their depiction as blondes in a lot of mediaeval art.
Jesus was either black or Middle Eastern and this fundie is an idiot. Oh by the way next time youre talking to a fundie you should let them in this: the modern conception of jesus (white guy with long hair and beard) is actually german painter Albrecht Duhrer, the vatican asked him to paint what he thought Jesus would look like and didnt bother to find out he was an atheist so he sent them back a self-portrait and theyve been plastering Duhrer's face on stained glass and canvas ever since.
...and that's why Adam and Eve died young of skin cancer, since they lived in Iraq. ("the Garden of Eden" is IN Eden, not the same as "Eden" - the region of Eden is believed to be the plain of eastern Iraq.)
@KillWhitey:
Unlikely. I can only find information on two artists who might be the man of which you speak.
One is Albrecht Duhrer, but he was Dutch not German.
There was a German artist by the name of Albrecht Dürer , who did look a hell of a lot like the tradiotnal depictions of Jesus.
It's hard to be sure but these could aslo be the same man, as Dürer spent time in Holland (lack of info available on the name Albrecht Duhrer}.
However, both these men (or this one man) were renaissance painters. There are depictions of the white, long haired, bearded Jesus that pre-date this time period by several centuries.
Plus, Dürer was not an atheist and although he produced many religious paintings I could find zero mention of the Vatican or the Pope commisioning his work.
Most of the Jesus' stories take place in present-day Israel and Palestine, where there weren't many caucasians.
If Jesus was that white, I suspect someone would have mentioned that in the bible.
I always find it funny when people think that just because most Jews today tend to be lighter skinned (due mainly to having spent hundreds of years in Europe), that Middle Easterners back in jesus' day would have looked similar. Picture a muslim, from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon. Now, that's probably more what jesus would have looked like. Brown skin, darker hair, brown eyes. Adam and Even being white is just laughable. I THINK there is a vague reference in the OT somewhere of Moses having lighter skin, but I might be wrong about that (and I think to get the lighter skin reference is something about the Hebrew word used). Were there white people in the bible? Sure, especially in the NT, where you have Romans, Greeks, and other Europeans. But jesus was not one of them.
If that were true, I highly doubt that anybody would ever have listened to him. People are incredably xenophobic: if he had of looked like that where he was supposedly born, I'd imagine he would have been stoned to death before he'd become a teenager.
Yes! If you want to have antigravity properties (and thus prevent premature falling ), drink 'Adam and Eve' milk.
Directions: For full antigravity effects, consume before Autumn.
CAUTION: Does not prevent falling arches, or other bow/arrow-related pastimes; will not stop BBC Radio programmes called "The Archers", neither. If symptoms - such as falling sideways - persist, consult your physician/psychologist/weird bloke round the corner who licks windows. Will NOT work on members of Ruptured Retards. Your house/car/boat/dog/testicles may be at risk if you do not keep up repayments. Contains nuts.
