related to Adam, we also carry with our relationship a nature to sin, just as he did. Every person needs
salvation provided by Jesus Christ, God’s son, by paying the penalty for sin on the cross!

14-19. Japheth was the father of what six nations?

20. Explain how Adam and Eve contained all the possible colors of skin in their genes?

21. Describe what the Tower of Babel possibly looked like.

Let’s get Personal…

Activity: Evolutionists believe that some races are not quite as evolved as others; in other words, some
are inferior to others. For example, they believe the Aboriginal race in Australia is the most primitive of
man and has not evolved to the same extent that Caucasians have, suggesting their race is inferior to
others. But the Bible says we are all created in the image of God and that there are no differences
between the races other than skin color and perhaps some physical characteristics. The Bible holds
every man, regardless of his race, accountable and responsible for his behavior. Every person who has
ever lived or who is alive today has sinned against God. There is no respect for any person or race. God
shows no favorites!
