So we see in the bible since the beginning if you look at the names of places and mountains that the entire biblical saga takes place on that side of the world (Eastern) and the continent is obvious. now my question is this. If in the beginning the world went evil so bad that god had to wipe us out ..ok and then god saved Noah and his family (were just talking the humans aboard) Noah and his family being of Hebrew decent I believe that makes them Jewish. so we have a hand full of Jews flailing around on torrent seas for forty days and forty nights and they happen to land on the same continent again on a familiar mountain then come down and restart civilization ..well whatever in any case..where did al of the different races of people come from. you don't get black people or Chinese or American Indians from a handful of Jews no matter how you slice it. And if you think that it was so far back we might say LAND bridges well wrong again .And Babylon tower changed the tongue not race.

Ha ha like I said the tower of Babel says it changed the language or tongues of the workers not the race and the years of ADAPTATION is a side step of saying evolution to change the way we are as being on a cellular level is evolution Period! and secondly Your all getting hung up on the fact that Noah wasn't a freaking Jew. So freaking what the point is he wasn't black or Chinese or Mexican or Cuban or Eskimo or Indian or a freaking white guy either and if he was any one thing then you still couldn't get the diverse races or nationalities of men out of a handful of people and yeah so there was what one small family other then Noah's on board and maybe they were one more kind. Point is again the MANY RACES that came from them.. yeah right.
And how convenient that the bible would never address such an important issue.

Oh man ha ha that was ignorant of the guy on the end there ha ha he says I have justified my way into hell for asking a question that might raise an eyebrow to the word of god. ha ha thats so 18th century I'm off to scrub my chainmail Armor.
I never attacked any of you or your god I just asked a question so don't feel like you scoring point with God by being snappy because he probably thinks less of you now. DUMB A$S!

Whether you want to believe it or not, that is exactly what happened. Eve, the first woman was named so, because she was the mother of all living. Noah's sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, were the progenitors of the caucasian, (Shem), Indians/Africans (Ham) Oriental (Japheth)
Contrary to popular belief, Ham did not become black, he was born black.
And, by the way, the term "Jews" did not become prevalent until Israel was divided into two kingdoms..the people of the Kingdom of Judah became known as Jews, and the other kingdom that of Israel remained as Israelites. The term Hebrew first became known in Abraham's time, and continued into the time of captivity in Egypt, then they became known as Israelites.
It was the Tower of Babel where the language changed from one to many, but race has been here since creation.

The ancestor of jews was Abraham prophet.David or Daud ,Jaco
ob and Moses and up to 43 prophets were the prophet of Jews.
Most of them were killed by jews because they did not believe in prophetsThey refused their teaching.They believed that Uzair was the son og God.Noah era was before Abraham era.
Adam as the first prophet had many children.The skin color of Ad
am children were white,black,dark brown and light brown.Their children got married among them and then they spread out in this world with so many descendants .They became some races know.The black couples went to Africa,the white couples went to Europe and the dark and light brown went to Asia.So became different races.God created some races for knowing,loving,coo perating and helping each others.Their mission is making a pros perous soceity and making no blood shed and making no dest truction in this world.But humans attempted by satans made war and bloodshed and also many destructions.

Whew a long narrative! The answer is: The races of mankind came from the genes of Noah's sons.

1) Noah and his family were not the only ones to survive the flood. The flood was local, and devestated southern Mesopotamia.

2) Noah was not Jewish. The Jews are descended from the patriarch Judah, who was born long after the time of Noah.

The first Jew was Abraham, and he was well after Noah.

As far as the different races go, the Bible doesn't address that.

Actually, Noah wasn't a Jew because he lived before Abraham.

What explains the development of the various racial characteristics?

“All men living today belong to a single species, Homo sapiens, and are derived from a common stock. . . . Biological differences between human beings are due to differences in hereditary constitution and to the influence of the environment on this genetic potential. In most cases, those differences are due to the interaction of these two sets of factors. . . . Differences between individuals within a race or within a population are often greater than the average differences between races or populations.”—An international body of scientists convened by UNESCO, quoted in Statement on Race (New York, 1972, third ed.), Ashley Montagu, pp. 149, 150.

“A race is simply one of the partially isolated gene pools into which the human species came to be divided during and following its early geographical spread. Roughly one race has developed on each of the five major continental areas of the earth. . . . Man did indeed diverge genetically during this phase of history and we can measure and study the results of this divergence in what remains today of the old geographical races. As we would expect, divergence appears to be correlated with the degree of isolation. . . . When race formation took place on the continents, with the bottlenecking of thousands of populations in isolated gene pools all over the world, the gene-frequency differences we now see were established. . . . The paradox which faces us is that each group of humans appears to be externally different yet underneath these differences there is fundamental similarity.” (Heredity and Human Life, New York, 1963, H. L. Carson, pp. 151, 154, 162, 163) (Thus, early in human history, when a group of people were isolated from others and married within the group, certain distinctive combinations of genetic traits were emphasized in their offspring.)

He put a mark of identity on Cain.
This other may be the same. His way of knowing who is who, and for us it is neat as we do too!

Once I was going to calculate the way the population came about, since I could not use names, I used colors, then it dawned on me, that the Lord has his own identity, and I just excepted it as a neat way for it to be.

After humanity populated the earth since Noah it has produced trillions of people throughout the ages. Thus, like breeds of dogs who stem from the wolf, people changed their appearance throughout time as well.

Already, two Christians have used evolution as an excuse for the different races. How ironic. :)
