Granted that His skin color doesn't matter, but there is no logical
reason to assume He looked like a European caucasian, since He came from
a Middle Eastern semitic people....so it would be more likely that He had
dark hair, dark eyes, and a fairly 'swarthy' skin (which I personally
find attractive)....
>Jesus' claimed ancestry is directly from Adam,
With a couple of thousand years intervening....so it is foolish to expect
Jesus to look exactly like Adam...just as it is foolish to put a modern
European Caucasoid interpretation of 'ruddy complected'...
What would 'ruddy complected' have meant to a Middle Eastern semitic
people, who for the most part were of a fairly swarthy complexion?

There is no logic to this statement. There is no reason for the Levites
of the period living in Judea to have been of any lighter complexion than
their fellow Hebrews....and tomb paintings and mosaics found in
archeological digs of Jewish temples of the period shows that they
presented themselves as looking no different than modern day
Palestinians....

And why are we to presume that neither Abraham nor Sarah were typically
swarthy as other semitic people are?

Even taking the Bible as unerring history, does not justify the
presumption that Abraham, Sarah, Mary or Jesus were of a lighter
complexion than their fellow semites...
