For example, if you're christian, and you approve the theory that god made adam and eve...plz, those were only 2 people, we have a lot of different races, not justn 2 or 1. so there must be some sort of symbolism going on there...and if you believe people did evolve from apes, were there like white apes, and chinese apes, and indian apes?...never saw one of those.

we are all of the human race. the environment we lived in changed how we look physically. whether from monkeys or 'adam and eve', all people have adapted to fit in there environments. We don't see that happen as much as we move on in history because technology took away the need for adaptation. A couple centuries from now we may all look alike, the adaptations that use to be necessary will be completely filtered out. and you never seen different types of apes? they also look differently depending on where members of the species migrated to.

The world is full of theories. However, it's pretty consistent that the origin of man does go back to Africa. From there, the population grew and started to migrate. As they went north, every generation transformed to lighter features (due to climate, etc.), and adapted to changes in surroundings. Languages evolved later. That created Europeans. As people moved from Africa towards what is now China, they continued to migrate over land that once connected that continent to our continent, and continued to move all the way down to S. America. Races started to blend, which brings mixtures into races today.

im chatlic so i believe that god made us but scientist believe that we all started of as a common ancestor for ex. say that the comon ansestor was a slug what if that slug liked the water then he would eventually turn into a fish. and from that u can conclude that the slug eventually turned to a monkey and that monkey learned how to stand then came the cave man then came us today. Charels Darwin discoverd this if u want to learn more im sure that there are some books about him

Evolution happens to explain the diversity of appearance between humans quite well. You have to remember that the human species has spread to more environments than any other species. This means that we have been exposed to so many different environments and have adapted to them. For example people living in jungles such as areas of Congo and the Amazon are smaller than people who live in wide open spaces.
However the differences between different races are quite superficial. To change skin color or height only involves one gene, making the change for a dark skin favored by a tropical climate to a pale skin favored by a temperate climate a relatively easy one to make.
It is interesting to note that if you take two chimpanzees at random and compare their genomes there will be more differences between them than there will be between any two humans.

There is a legend. Years ago there was only one race and only one language. They thought of building a high tower so they can get into the sky to the gods. The gods were furios so they made each man to talk a different language and to be of a different race.

We must all know, that the creation story in the bible should not be taken literally. When we were kids, that is what is taught to simplify teaching.
yes, there were a variety of apes for each period of time and a given location/environment in earth.
My theory, we all came from a single type of ape.
It's like saying, we are all trees yet have various types/races.

I believe that it is due to the changing of languages at Babel (The story in the Bible of the Tower of Babel). When people were scattered over the earth and seperated into groups of the same language, God fitted each group of people with what they would need to survive in the part of the world that they came to live in.

Yes. Genes get out of whack for some reason and through the ages this deviation multiply...they call it mutations. These deviations could simple things like for example, whites lack sufficient melanen, while blacks have too much of it.

The races evolved later. Which is consistent with both Genesis and evolution. I know... boring answer.
