They weren't talking about genetics. They where talking about civil rights.

The genetic variation among humans is not significant to warrant the claim that one race (however you care to define it) is genetically superior to another. Social conditions control physical ability far more than genetics. Although it may appear that black men are better at sports, Asians are better at math, etc., this is primarily due to a greater significance placed on this activities or skills by their respective societies.
There is really no way to support the statement that some people are genetically superior to others, especially in modern industrialized societies. The only way I could see arguing that line would be to take a strictly evolutionary perspective and argue that certain genetic traits increased an individuals chances for reproduction. But even that is not so simple, as, once again, what traits are considered attractive is defined by society and greatly varies. Also, individuals who do not reproduce can still be evolutionarily successful if their actions help perpetuate the species. It can be as simple as babysitting other peoples kids.

Metaphysically all men are created with equal rights and the ability to pursue this rights. Physically no of course not every man is created equal. Some are born more physically and mentally gifted. However, does that mean they are born with more rights? no it doesnt, it just means that they have a different skill set. What that means is everyone is more with an equal right to live, not that we are all on the same level playing field genetically.

In this sense, "All men are created equal" describes how all men are created to be equal in the eye of a government.
It's obviously false in a scientific sense, but the goal of this remark was to create a government with no special treatment of anyone.
Depending on how slavery and such was viewed by the framers of the document, some can agree that "All white landowning men" were referred to here, others say this was a step towards proclaiming the evils of slavery. That's still debatable.

Primary ques. attracts a No.
Secndary ques. leads towards a simple yes.
The reason being many different determiners together operate on a given human race.
The scope of arriving at a unambiguous definition of race is also extensive.
However for immediate purpose let's agree that all the things which influence the potential distinctiveness of any race includes -the geography, climatic condition ,history culture ,tradition, social attitude and religious faith and experiences in absorption of ideas transmitted from cultural contacts.

My dear friend, the statement is completely false. Men are created (and I emphasize: created) unequal. It is (if it is) an achievement of human civilization for men to be treated as equals, an achievement that some times is against the natural laws. Take care, Nikiforos

No All men are not created equal both on the science as well as for the natural. Because everybody has there own distinction from that of the other.

Yes, all men are created equally. In the realm of genetics. Every man has the same opportunity's. Yet, there are only few, who know the keys to obtain them.

That statement is part of the Constitution, and the Charter of Human rights. It has nothing to do with physical or mental ability, but with the rights and privileges to which law-abiding citizens are entitle.

Your first mistake in asking this question is in thinking that Science has all the answers.
Science is only a tool, a part of finding the answers to our questions.
The only modification it really needs to be a re-gendering.
"All humans are created equal."
Your second mistake is in stating that there are diferent human races...each with their own potential.
