Your question rises a premise, which theory is consistent with the known facts. I must remind everyone, that both evolution and creationism are theories of origins; all the data collected exists in the present and little information about the past is availible. Evolution teaches that everything we see today is a result of millions of years of slow changes governed by chance and random processes. Make no mistake about it, evolution is purely blind chance. If everything originated from the same source there wouldn't be much variety. According to evolution, variety is achieved through chance mutations over vast periods of time. The problem is most mutations are harmful rather than beneficial to the organism; When I say most, that means 99.999% are harmful, the few that do occur rarely incur significant change. Changes according to evolution can occur outside of a gene pool of a species, but if that is the case, then distinctions among species would be blurred. Changes only occur within kind, dogs, cats, horses, etc (look at all the varieties of dogs and cats). Organisms with different gene pools can't cross breed. Dogs can't breed with cats, even the gene pools of man and primates are different. On the other hand, an intelligent designer would be a better explanation for the variety we see, because God loves variety. Skin pigmentation is actually superficial, it is only determined by the amount of melanin in your skin. Freckles are an example of melanin in your skin. If you recall after the flood, (Genesis 10, 11)the descendents of the three sons of Noah, Jepheth, Shem and Ham eventually were dispersed. Jepheth to what is now Europe, Shem to the east, and Ham to the south, carrying in their genes certain characteristics that we see today.
When God created our bodies He created a very complex and marvelous structure. In my family we have many blonds, because my grandfather came from Norway. Well, the Norweigns are probably descendents of Jepheth, so he carried the genes for light colored hair and fair skin, but also the genes for the Mediterreanian countries. This is a fairly general explanation, but it is accepted as factual. It would have been curious to see Adam and Eve, because they carried all the genes that would ever exist.

Apes I do not believe have anything to do with humans. They are a different family. Cats have four legs and a tail so do dogs, but they are not the same family.

To answer to your question would be lengthy I think. I too would like to know the reasons for differently shaped noses, pigmentation, etc. Yet put very simply our bodies adapted many years ago to the areas lived in. Baby came with the same characteristics. Either that or the human race did not all come from the same space ship.

"Make no mistake about it, evolution is purely blind chance"

Evolution ISNT chance. You're attacking straw men.

Creationism doesn't have ANY facts. It's not theoretical, it's a whacked hypothesis. An elder in my family taught me that the fossil record is the way it is because after Noah's flood-- the ones that could swim the longest ended up in the higher strata.

That isn't science. We went to the museum and he called the paleontological exhibit the atheist wing.

It's lucid how and why ethnic traits among a species arise. It's Selective breeding. Look at Dogs if you think it's SO impossible.
Genetic drift, divergence of populations, different environments. Just spend 10 minutes on wikipedia and if you think it's all crap, you're really hopeless. They don't teach this **** in schools because it doesn't make sense.

First off, we didn't come from apes. Apes and humans share a common ancestor, we just split off on a different evolutionary fork.

Secondly, people of the world are different because of where they live. For instance, people nearer to the equator have darker skin to block more of the sun (which is closer to the Earth at the equator). When humans were just getting started, we migrated to different parts of the world and evolved to suit those areas- I can't give you any reason why Asians are a certain way, etc. but we are all a product of our environment and evolution.

From "apes" - A process called differentiation--everybody is a little bit different. Peoples isolated by geography over thousands of years tend to develop traits specific to their groups such as skin tone, eyes shape, etc. Certtian triats become dominant withing a genetic pool.

From "adam" (if you'd rather believe in made up stories)- some guy pissed off God and shot an arrow in the sky, and god got his revenge by making everybody different from each other. I saw that in the ten commandments movie.

blending Creationism with Evolutionism. that's the ideal place for a controversy. shop an open innovations as a results of fact the non secular sect assist you to comprehend Adam and Eve are the 1st people and that they have been created via "God" in God's very own photograph. on the evolutionary path there have been countless off-shoot "Hominid" beings. Cro-magnon did improve/evolve into gadget making and a spoken language lived which incorporate Homo-Erectus with comparable skills. the main significant distinction between the two - the Cro-magnon guy grew to become into short and stocky (greater Ape like) jointly as the Homo-erectus grew to become into greater like the famous Human. What we do comprehend from fossil evidence is that the two a sort of early Hominids preceded cutting-edge guy. So If Adam and Eve have been created to look like God and we glance like God then the top may well be that Cro-Magnon guy got here earlier Adam and Eve.

Coming form apes or Adam only means that there was a !st original species. With time things change. Imagine a world where there was only one kind of fish, bird, dog, etc... Different environments call for change and over time

religiously, there were these people who were trying to build a tower that could reach heaven and God punished them for trying to reach heaven, making each of them a different race with a different language so none of them could communicate.

as per your 'darwin' approach, that's why it is called evoluntion. each race originated from a certain place on earth, causing them to adapt to the land and its' features. it's really hard to know which race was the first race ... they found a skeleton a long time ago (recently, like 40 years) that was over 6 million years old.

don't know if its plausible, but its what I think...

Even leafs from the same tree don't look 100% identical...some may be slightly bigger than the other. Nevertheles, its from the same tree.

Take a piece of dough for instance. Mix it well. Have part of it steamed. What do you get? Have some of it deep fried, what do you get? Have some of it baked....They are from the same mixture, the difference is how you choose to cook them.

So, the environment plays a major part.

CAPTMHUNT, No DNA is superior to others, we just evolved differently. Racist Prat.

Secondly, we are not so different. So what about Hair, Complexions, Skin etc, that is all purely cosmetic. EVERY Human being is almost identical to each other
