You are correct. But today not many people believe in God . And if they say that they do, don't believe them.

Are you talking about why do we see green and red and that sort of thing? The reason we see those things is that God made our eyes in such a way as they capture the peculiar light spectrum of these colors.
As far as skin color goes, it is silly to say that I don't see a person who is darker than I, or who's skin color is the color of dark coffee, or a person who is sort of pinkish, or beige, or some super pasty white.
The issue I wonder if you are trying to raise is why do some people use the color of skin or the texture of hair to prejudge another human being.
Put simply, it is the nature of a fallen world. There will be those who prejudge based on color and if it wasn't color they would prejudge based on some other trait.

You get no argument from me there. I'm sure God didn't plan modern racism. Interestingly enough, racial prejudice as most Americans know it, didn't exist in the ancient world. Blacks were obviously a different color, but they weren't considered inferior. Slaves came in all colors in the ancient world. Most were white, and most were prisoners of war. Why repatriate them and have to fight them again sometime in the future? In fact, the word slave comes from "slav" the native population of eastern Europe who were so often conquered and enslaved by the Greeks and Romans. I suppose modern people see color because they've been trained that way, either consciously, like the KKK, or unconsciously, like people who see a black person and cross the street so they don't have to walk by them because they've been indoctrinated (largely against their will, I'm sure) by the news media which seems to equate blacks with crime. They'd have us believe blacks commit crimes in numbers disproportionate to their percentage of the population. I'm sure that's true in some places, but I doubt that it's true across the board. Unfortunately, good news doesn't seem to get the same press bad news gets.

god didn't put us on this world--science did. Everything on earth has chemical & physical (physics) properties-everything is composed of the elements. Evolution, biology & zoology are just end-products of the physical & chemical laws of the Universe, & so are all humans. The existence of god or a god cannot be proven.
Religon(s) was/were created to control people. Also, to comfort them, not scare them to death......"you will go to hell if you..."

Colors are necessary for the life, in every moments. Look the nature, look the flowers, look the birds, look the sky. Imagine the dark in all you see.
When talking about people, colors of the skin don´t exist. We are the supreme criation of God no matter the breed.

The same reason we have the ability to see color everywhere: in a rainbow, in the desert, the feast for the eyes that we're given, the ability to see beauty in differences, the same reason that we would not know good if we didn't know evil, the same reason that we would not know beauty if everything was the same.

You only see color if you don't spend the time to meet the people under the skin. I'm talking about all of us.

Actually you don't see color, but the absence of it. That's Fact.
Read up on the Tower of Babylon. It closely relates to your question and why it happened. If you don't have the Bible on your computer, then do a search on the Internet.

It's human nature. As wrong as it may be, it is unavoidable. Not a soul on this earth can claim that they don't see color. EVERYONE DOES. It's up to you however to decide how to process that difference. Racists are the ones who see color, and use that difference to dictate their actions.

You are correct but people don't listen to God. That's easily seen by looking at the news every day.

Imperfection and the need to establish hierarchy.
If the law dictated that everyone must be stripped of their outer skin at birth, there'd be no way to distinguish by color, only by socioeconomic class...
