According to the christian religion the first humans on earth(Adam and Eve) were white. Then from there where did the different races come from, white families offspring couldn't just magically turn out to be a different race. Evolution? That might be the answer, but the christian religion does not accept that there was evolution in the world. So where did all these different races come from?

If Adam and Eve were white and the first known living humans were in Africa over 3 million years ago as it now turns out, then how come there are not more whites on the continent of Africa and what caused the rest of the white races to become black, brown, red and yellow ? ( and green) and dont say climate I dont accept that either!

Adam and Eve were probably right in the middle. Light brown, dark tan, or something like that. At Babel, when everyone was scattered to different areas, "races" formed. Those who lived in Africa lived in a lot of sun, and gradually they adapted, growing darker. Also, the darker ones stayed together, and intermarried, causing the children to get and stay darker. Others lived in places with less sun, and got lighter, through the same process.
That also explains languages and cultures.

No where in the Bible does it say that Adam and Eve were white. The races evolved (God forgive me for using that word) from the scattering at the Tower of Babel. when humankind was scattered across the earth physical changes began to take place according to climate and diet. This is not evolution, because the same thing can happen if you change your permanent place of residence from one geographic/climatic region to another. the human body changes to adapt to the conditions.

just like (almost) everyone else said, the bible never said anything about Adam and Eve being white. People just assume that they were. Just as they assume what God looked like or even Jesus. Races are one of my beliefs that evolution is wrong. Also, if evolution were real, I don't understand how races were created and how there are still monkeys today. You would think they all would've evolved.

From the first people. Race was never defined for Adam and Eve so it is probable that they were 'omni-racial' or carriers of all DNA variables...by the way, outside of the U.S., Adam and Eve are almost always depicted as whatever the dominant racial background is for the indigenous people of each continental locale...that makes a lot of Adams and a lot of Eves...

the races had to come from the evolution of man (its more of an adaption to the persons climates actually) the sun fried the men and women who lived in africa and turned them black, the wind blew too hard in asia so their eyes squinted and their skin became tan, and the spainards ate too many beans so they turned bean colored, the indians, american and asian ones just spent a little bit of time.. one question for you is how did so many different breeds of dogs come about from just the doggy that adam and eve had in the garden of eden?

For your first question I'd have to agree with Teeney1116 plus there's the story of Cain getting the boot.
As for Christianity; most of their icons and holidays were stolen from "pagan" religions: the cross, blessed mother etc.
What really burns me (pun intended) was the way they converted non-christians. Most of us know of the Witch Hunts.
In a nutshell "If you don't believe in our God then you are a witch and we are going to kill you".

Who on earth said Adam and Eve were white? It's not that way in the Bible.

I blame it on Bable. I always guessed when God disrupted their speech patterns, as they moved away and into different parts of the world their skin pigmintation changed. FYI: Science is close to finding one original language. They've narrowed it down to about 13.

AS PEOPLE MOVED OUT OF AFRICA THERE SKIN CHANGES WITH THE SEASONAL WEATHER CHANGES, THE BIBLE IS TO VAGUE TO BE USED AS A RELIABLE SOURCE FOR ANY INFORMATION ON TOPICS OF SCIENCE.
