I can't find in my bible footnotes or my bible handbooks what year the flood happened but since Noah planted a vineyard after the flood it would have to be at the earliest, 10,000 BC since that's when man first began farming. But even if we give it a few thousand years more, that still isn't enough time for all the races on earth to have "evolved" from this one man's family. What are people's thoughts on this?

I read it in an Ancient History book that agriculture began in 10,000 BC.

I think the dates have been misinterpreted. The link below might help a bit but I think your on the wrong site for this kind of question because there are alot of non believers on here who will fill your head with garbage.

You have confused theory and fact. We do NOT know that man started farming exactly at 10,000 BC. It could have started much earlier and just not have left all that many clues. You also can’t date the bible many have tried and most get different dates. As for as the past, anything over 50.000 to 60,000 is not much more than a guess.

I was going to answer this question, but I didnt think it was worth the time. After your next question I decided to in order to show you that there were religious people.
Who is to say that god needs people to evolve. Isaac had Jacob (the Jews) and Edom who was different from him. They both had the same mother and they were twins. God doesnt need evolution, if he wants a black, white, asian, jewish etc. baby he can make a that baby. They came from somewhere and you have to believe the bible if you are a christian. If you pick and choose from the bible, then why pick Christ as God. That might be a story.
But we know that black people(or whatever race you choose) came from somewhere, and Noah and his sons replenished the earth, so they have to be decendants of Noah.

How do you know when man firsst started to farm. Just because thats the oldest farming tool found dosnt mean thet there are not others older, thet have not yet been discovered or destroyed. Maybe people evolved more rapidly back then. With God all things are possible.

They didn't, of course. The ark story is fiction, as can be seen by any of a half-dozen completely separate lines of scientific evidence. The races arose when humans migrated from Africa to Europe and Asia, probably about 100,000 years ago, and were subsequently separated by distance and natural disasters such as the Ice Ages. (Differential evolution arises from separation of population, which is why the Australian flora and fauna is so different from anywhere else -- Australia was the first land mass to break away from Gondwanaland, about 90 million years ago.) The timing can be figured from the amount of change: too little time, and there would be less evolutionary change; too much, and the differences would be more than we now see. For an excellent account of the evolutionary history of mankind, as well as the rest of the biota, see:

The Bible didn't say all the races came from Noah, Anyways he took two of every living creature that could include the different races too, also it don't say the whole earth was flooded either

Noah's, is to me a Catholic a fairy tale, though I believed in God, I don't believed in Jonas either, such metaphors for the living are basically to tell peoples that as Jesus said it, "If you destroy this temple, my Father will re-build it, in three day's" Jesus was talking about his Body, In the same way, the end of the world will come but, for God and the perfect Humans, and all of those whom will be save, God build it, once he can destroy it, basically because that is the only way to get ready of the not good,and keep pushing the devil, Satan and all evil into hell.

Well Noah did live for ages, i cant remember how long exactly and his children would live for ages too. I think that there would be enough time as Noah would have probably had loads and loads of kids who would have had loads and loads of kids and so on.

When you genetically isolate a species it doesn't take long for dominate traits to take over. You can create a new breed of dog in three or so generations by doing this. Think about this, 100 years ago people looked different than they do now. We are bigger, stronger, and yet softer. Things change faster than you think they can.

They did not evolve from Noah. Read Genisis. God started with Adam and Eve, they he progressed to other humans.
