Because this story is obviously made up. Plus, there is such a thing called evolution.

At the age of Christ, there were only 2 breeds of dogs (one was the barkless Basenji), how come we have hundreds today? Because of breeding.

However, God implanted Adam and Eve with the ability to produce in a few generations multiple races and we have no reason to believe otherwise. We do NOT EVEN KNOW if Adam & Eve were of the same race and it doesn't matter. Race is so unimportant in God's eyes, he had a "people for so long" and they let him down, so that he had to go outside them and to the Gentiles (the world at large) to find Christians to follow his Son, Christ Jesus. So, now all share in God's Kingdom equally.

Also, God has plans for the Earth and the Bible states over and over that the earth will be here forever, with people on it. So, how boring a place would it become if only white or one color people were on the planet FOR ALL TIME? We would all have the same culture and be bored out of our minds with it, this way we can celebrate our differences and values and share them with our Christian brothers and sisters and rejoice that God gave us multiple chances to experience life from different points of view.
(Gen. 1:28; 2:8-15; Ps. 72:7; Isa. 9:6,7; Mt. 6:9, 10; Rev. 21:3-5).

God did this because when he found out that all people were building the tower of babel he mixed up their language and scattered them around the earth. Giving each their own inheritence. Check out Genesis chapter 8 of the bible.

"Look!" he said. "The people are united and they all speak the same language. After this nothing they set to do will be impossible for them! I will go down and confuse the people with different languages. Then they won't be able to understand each other."
In that way the Lord scattered them all over the world and stopped building their evil city. That is why the city is called Babel ( confusion in hebrew ) because that is where the Lord confused the people with different languages. In this way he scattered them all over the world.

That was Genesis chapter eleven verses six through nine

Scientists say the Human Race originated in Africa.
This would make Adam and Eve black.
As Humans spread to other parts of the world they developed other characteristics.

This is an easy answer regardless of your belief in Adam and Eve. As Humans spread across the planet they developed traits that were advantageous for the particular regions they spread too.

im not a big fan of religion im afraid, i know what you mean, what really puzzles me is this

Adam and Eve were the first people on earth
Eve gave birth to two sons Cane and Abel, when they grew up they went out into the world to find wives

When were the wives created and if they were created how come god didnt need another mans rib to do so?

Also where are Dinosaurs in the Bible?

I'm pretty sure that Adam and Eve's race was unknown, but eventually some famous biblical guy was trying to build this tower thing, and the people were angry and God got pissed and made them all speak different languages, and probably different colors.

I swear, I didn't make that up. =)

That belief only occurs if you believe in creationism. Most people credit evolution as how humans came to live on earth and to explain the genetic differences between us.
Do a search on 'creationism' and 'evolution' and make up your own mind :)

According to Biblical Scholars, each of the races began with the sons of Noah. Hamm was the father of all blacks; Shem: of Arabs and Jews (hence our term Semites), Japeth, of both orientals and caucasians. I forget who started the Indians.
