If you are a christian then you believe that all of mankind was wiped out when God flooded the earth. All except Noah because he built an ark and was saved. It also says that Noahs family repopulated the earth. Without evolution there would be no way that we could have so many races just by Noahs family alone. We would all be one skin color and there would be no reason for the vast number of languages.

Careful, you seem to be applying logic to the bible. The fundies really won't like that at all.

You could apply that reasoning to adam and eve too then right? wouldn't we all be their skin color? or is it possible that the genes for many variety were with there genetic code?
Also if you read about the tower of babel in the bible, god purposely confused the languages, due to the fact that the people were not spreading out over the earth as he had commanded them to do. Thus by doing this they split into groups accross the world. So says the bible.

Interesting point. Perhaps a better way to put it would be you cannot be a born again christian and believe in evolution. Other religions take a more pragmatic view. Their position is that "faith and scientific findings regarding the evolution of man's material body are not in conflict, and that the existence of God is required to explain the spiritual component of man's origins." In other words it is possible to believe BOTH at the same time. Hope this helps.

Actually, God told Noah to take two of every flesh on the ark with him. why would that not include two of every race.
also Noahs flood may have only been localized to kill off the first wave of offspring between humans and followers of satan who did not want to be born in the flesh to have sexual relations with the lovely human woman.

Logic tends to be sequencial in nature.
Reasoning tends to be comparative in nature.
Your logic doesn't impress me. However, your reasoning seems to be right on track. (Whether we call it evolution or the ability to adjust - it happened.)

It is futile to try to make sense out of middle eastern tales and legends...
