Are you saying that the fact that there are many different languages shows there is a God?
Let me see, if there was no God and people lived in various places, their languages would change over time. British English and American English vary, for instance. The English today in either place is quite different from the English of Chaucer or Shakespeare. And if those people in different places had no communication with each other, then their languages would gradually develop apart so that the people would not be able to understand one another any more.
What does this have to do with God?

Whether or not there is a god, the fact that there is great diversity in human language, and in human physical features, is actually a kind of evidence for evolution: a kind of language evolution (evolutionary linguistics), and of course, biological evolution.
Geneticists know that we have all descended from one man in Africa about 60,000 years. At that point, as siblings, we certainly looked alike and spoke the same "language". The physical diversity you see today is the result of gradual mutations in our genetic makeup over these 25,000 generations or so. Some of these inter-generational changes proved advantageous to survival and reproduction, mainly as a result of the environment. For example, the native people in extremely cold climates on earth have short limbs, which helps them to conserve heat. The rate of evolutionary change increases in correlation with the isolation of such groups.
Language tends to evolve for almost the opposite reason; i.e. it mainly changes when there are different languages spoken in the same groups. Languages "borrow" from one another as a result of exposure.
As you can see, gods have no role in any of this.

Geographic isolation. As populations spread into different areas, they interact less and less with the groups in the areas from where they came. Once isolated, natural selection operates on the separate populations independently and they diverge. This is how new species appear. In the case of humans, appearances and cultures have diverged, but speciation had not yet taken place before the geographical boundaries were removed. I don't know how you could explain it without evolution... (ever notice how skin color seems to correspond with latitude and climate?)
It doesn't require any extinctions as pooterilgatto seems to think. Both populations can continue to exist (apes that shared our most recent common ancestor didn't have to disappear - they just had to stop sharing genes with our ancestral population)

The One True God is not only the Creator of this earth. He is Creator and Sustainer of all worlds and creatures visible and invisible. In order to gain more knowledge about this truth, we better read the Holy Books of His successive Divine Messengers.
These Books are now available on the Internet.

Different tribes branched off, lived in certain parts of the globe. Therefore the body adapted to those climates.
Negroids(blacks) are dark to protect the skin from the sun and have wider and shorter noses which help cool the air before inhaling thus keeping the body cooler.
Caucasoids(whites) are lighter skin because they are from cooler climates with less sun exposure and have longer and narrower noses to help heat the air up before inhalation thus helps heat the body. Scandanavians tend to have wider chests because they lived up in high altitudes which helped with breathing.
Asians, I forget the scientific term, are shorter because it helped them stay warmer in cold climates. The less surface area of the body the less heat there is to lose.
Those are just a few of the scientific facts I learned about what caused different races. There are plenty more if you want to look them up.

According to the Bible, all humans descend from Noah, through his three sons Shem, Japheth and Ham. Genesis chapter 10 lists 70 descendants of Noah saying: “From these the nations were spread about in the earth.” (Genesis 10:32) One of the many ways in which these nations have been classified is with reference to skin color. In the skin of all normal humans is a blackish brown pigment called melanin.
Noah and his three sons all had a measure of this dark pigment. From Shem came the Babylonians, the Assyrians, the Jews and the Arabs who vary from fair to light-brown skin. The descendants of Japheth, who include the Indo-European races, vary from light skin to dark brown. As for Ham (meaning swarthy or sun-burnt), some, but not all, of his descendants had dark skin. The Egyptians, with light-brown skin, descended from Ham’s son Mizraim. Ham’s son Canaan, who was cursed by God because of bad conduct, was the forefather of the light-skinned Canaanites.
How about the different languages? God's purpose is for men to fill the earth, the people hardheaded as they were said "They now said: “Come on! Let us build ourselves a city and also a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a celebrated name for ourselves, for fear we may be scattered over all the surface of the earth.” There God confused the language of the rebellious people. (Genesis 11:1-9) As a result, populations with different languages, religions, and thinking patterns have sprung up in various parts of the earth.

1) All the languages derived from the original mother tongue: Sumerian; then each of them evolved in a different way.
2) Different races are defined by different features, different features developed according to different environments; then of course, there have been some 'corossings' between different races;)

Well when a women and a man love each other very much, or have had one too many vodka and raspberries, then something very special happens between that man and women and nine months later a baby is born! It's all about the birds and the bees baby.

What does that have to do with anything. Lets just say there are a bunch of people on this planet. Where did they all come from ?
WE DONT KNOW, WE ARE NOT CLOSE TO KNOWING, & WE MIGHT NEVER KNOW. I'm ok with that. I don't care to know. When someone finds out, they will tell.
Just don't tell me a cockamamie story with no facts to back it up.
