If it really did flood and Noah had to save the animal species from extinction then didn't he also save the human species. If thats correct and we know that noahs whife was etheopian then didn't they repopulate the earth therfore combining all races. just curious?

noah's ark = even more unbelievable than genesis.

aside from the SIZE of the ark, the issue of food blows that whole thing out of the water.
YES, the pun was intended.

Noah and his wife already had three sons (Shem, Ham and Japheth) who all had wives. It was these 4 couples that repopulated the earth. God chose Noah because he was a good mand and blameless in that age and walked with God (see Genesis 6:9-10). God told Noah that he and his sons were to be fertile and multiply and subdue the earth. Genesis 9:19 says "These three were the sons of Noah and from them the whole earth was peopled."

Of course this is true, not a fairytale. If you believe that God is all powerful, then it is within His power that He would have let Noah and his family live a great flood and have many children and many grandchildren. Noah's wife being Ethiopian makes no difference in the "new" human race. But it does show us that we are not only descendents of Adam and Eve but of Noah and his wife. Meaning African.

You are correct that the human race as well as animal species were saved on the ark.

But when the tower of Babel was built with the intent to reach the heavens, God confused the evil and disobedient people by making them speak different languages. The people scattered to different parts of the earth and this is likely when different races developed.

See Genesis 11.

Well....after the remaining group of humans started their life agaun....they continued to repopulate and move to various places on the earth. Therefore over the years, climate and environment brought physical changes to humans to make them different looking otherwise yea, we are all the children of Noah.

Noah's family was saved - his three sons and their wives. One son was married to an Ethiopian (dark-skinned) woman and once the folks got off the ark and separated, she became mother to the Egyptian and other dark-skinned races. So if your point is that ALL races are related to Father Noah, you are correct.

you have several gene sources with Noah and his family. There was Noah, his wife, and his three daughters in law. They would be the only source of genetic material for the human race.

The human race is the only race of man on earth. We are all mixed from common ancestry (Adam & Eve).

just noah and his family were saved but as far as other races goes, i heard that the bible states that ppl were trying to build a tower to heaven so God gave them all different languages so they couldn't communicate, so i guess when he gave them different languages he also gave them different colors so they could find each other,i was told that that was in the bible but i have never personally read it. but i think im going to look it up right now.
