And do christians know that there is more to race than skin color? If we are all descendents of Adam and Eve, does that mean Adam and Eve had a mixture of all racial features? So if God made man in his image, does that mean God looks like Tiger Woods? Why are skull shapes catagorized as caucazoid, ******* and mongoloid if there is no race? And Mostly I want my cristian creationism friends to explain why races are grouped in certain regions only, dark skin in warmer regions lighter skin in cooler regions, almond shaped eyes in Asia, and so forth. Going according to your belief of all one race through Adam and Eve, why are we all not multicolored scattered about the globe, why are races separated?

It takes quite a few generations to make a difference, but people adapt to their environment, just like animals do. People in hotter, brighter regions, that are natively from there; will often be a darker colour, more melanin in the skin. The shape of the head; different races, in different regions originally, required different things; for some, it ras eye sight needed to be better, some, hearing, for some, thinking more logically, for some, that didn't matter. For instance, many asians are tech. wizzes. And some races are often better, inherently at making a certian thing, something that their brain and body's adapted to over the generations. Nowadays, this doesn't matter as meuch, as people move around so much, hence the reason there's so much mix in colour, now, as well.
To answer your original question, though, evolution explains the differences in races. Just like it expalins different subspecies in... wolves around the world, for instance. Each subspecie looks and behaves differnetly, is adapted to a specific need or environment.
Creationism leaves out many of the races. There's been that man wars based on Chritianity, or so many oppressions. I have no problem with Christan people, know that these veiws are extreme, and most don't feel this way; but it's what caused slavery, what caused WW2 and Hitler to come to power; it's what caused oppression of jews over the years. Just becaus they aren't white Aryans, they aren't people. And like I said, I by no means think that all Christians think this way, I've had some awesome Christian friends; but Creationism is much of society's past problems.....

Evolution has said that some races were superior, In some article about how man came from ape they had Aboriginals people on display in cages in the Bronx Zoo. So this could give you an idea where this had begun, the Bible does not separate us by race but by believer and nonbeliever, yes we come from Adam and you see that science proves that the body mutates, but we all can be trace through one mother all the way down to all races. Its been said that many thing can change our DNA even conception takes the info send by each parents,so that the info given only has what that new being get from the parents and if that the DNA is whole and if it's missing than what does it have to replace. Also that white people are missing the pigment that is needed to have color in their skin. Even disease or a high fever could kill cell in your brain. This information is very important that once lost it can't be replace.So many things that could go wrong that even cell in your body could turn into cancer.This is my reasoning.

Common sense promotes racism. An in-borne knowledge that certain beings do not belong together due entirely to a variation in species.

The races were separated because that is how God's created Nature intended things to be. True sin is mixing of the races in defiance of Gods Natural and Universal law. Not some Judeo-Christian anti-nature insanity about "loving everyone".

There are no races. Genetic differences between two "race-groups" is larger ... than between two members of the "same race."
It's not that tropical sun made people dark. It's that only dark skin ... could stand it !! Anyone else had to go north or die off. It's not that northern sun made people light. It's that only light skin ... could make enough vitamin D from it !! Anyone else had to stay in the tropics or die off.
Genetic Drift and Natural Selection ... can explain different levels of melanin in the skin, and other minor traits that we call "racial differences." But true science and the Bible say ... there is no "race." Fallen humans made that up! If true science says "races" didn't evolve from each other ... then true science says, species didn't evolve either !!

Note the very title of Darwin's book, "The Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of FAVORED RACES in the Struggle for Life" (1859)
RACISM is the heart of Darwinism!

Evolution promotes more racism. It's called social darwinism, or survival of the fittest. Meaning that, philosophically, if you can eliminate a race or species, you should and are justified, because you are the fittest. This is exactly what drove Hitler (read his book) to kill 6 million Jews in an attempt to exterminate them. As far as color goes, this is microevolution at best, commonly referred to as adaptation. They are not becoming another type of species, or a different kind of "animal." Black people are no more or less human than white people. Evolution lays waste to the claim that people are equal and promotes racial genocide.

That's easy. Neither has anything to do with racism. The topic really at hand is how life was created. Not about skin color. And you are thinking only about earthly things. I think racism is such an earthly term that only man can create such a word. Humans are flawed. Besides why don't you believe what the Bible says? You can believe books about every other subject but you refuse to believe what God says. I think you guys are what you are. Spritually blind. I have no other way of putting it. You don't want to believe me, that ain't my problem anymore.

Race is an idiotic concept to fight over. Creationism/Christianity teaches that all men are created equal, while Darwin stated that black men were less evolved forms of white man. Literally saying that they are inferior. Secondly, race occurs BECAUSE of where you live, you can see that African-Americans are getting lighter, and lighter as time goes by.

I don't think any of the two actually promotes racism. It depends how you look at it. "By his image" could mean a pair of legs and arms with a head, not necessarily color or other specifics. As for the skull categories, quit making assumptions and just open a damn science book already!

And FYI Hitler was Catholic and used his religion to justify the holocaust just as much if not more than evolution. But unfortunately you don't hear that often. It's the church's nature to stay silent on these subjects...

Some claim that Hitler was an atheist and point to his actions in criticizing atheism. However, this is nonsense! Hitler was born and bred a Catholic, he grew up in a religion and in a culture that was anti-semitic. He was motivated by a desire to purge the earth of the evil Jews and set out to 'cleanse' the world of Jews in his 'final solution'.. In Mein Kampf, he states, "Therefore, I am convinced that I am acting as the agent of our Creator. By fighting off the Jews, I am doing the Lord's work." Again, in a Nazi Christmas celebration in 1926, Hitler stated: "Christ was the greatest early fighter in the battle against the world enemy, the Jews . . . The work that Christ started but could not finish, I--Adolf Hitler--will conclude." In a Reichstag speech in 1938, Hitler again confirmed the religious origins of his crusade, "I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. By warding off the Jews, I am fighting for the Lord's work." He was a Catholic until his death. Hitler discussed his Catholocism with many including Gerhard Engel, one of his generals, in 1941. He told Engle, "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so," he told . Hitler was nearly assassinated in Munich in November, 1939. His response: "Now I am completely content. The fact that I left the Burgerbraukeller earlier than usual is a corroboration of Providence's intention to let me reach my goal." The Pope also sent his special personal congratulations! Later the Pope was to publicly describe Hitler's opposition to Russia as a "high-minded gallantry in defense of the foundation of Christian culture." Several German bishops openly supported Hitler's invasion of Russia, calling it a "European crusade." Other religious victims of Hitler's wrath were in Yugoslavia, where Hitler installed a Croatian, Ante Pavelic, as his puppet, and Pavelic, a Catholic like Hitler, began extermination of the Serbs, who were Greek Orthodox.

bible says there is no greek nor jew slave or free man

and in heaven there is no marraige

evolution was the influence behind hitler and the superman theory of neizche which hitler describe to

by purifying a race by breeeding selectively for national interest and economic power is a natural step for evolutionary thought
so i would say evolution teaches it yes

Evolution promotes more racism because Darwin himself said white men are superior to women and black people.
