If you read the first two chapters of Genesis you'll notice that there are two creation stories. The first creation story is in chapter 1 where God created both male and female humans. Then in chapter 2 God created Adam out of a lump of dirt and later made Eve out of Adams rib. If Genesis were true then we did not all come from Adam & Eve.

"Race" is illusionary. The superficial differences that seem to appear in people of different nationalities are the result of geographic isolation and inbreeding.
Mitochondrial DNA has shown that while we may have started as a species from a few male primates we all share a common female ancestor.
The differences of appearance between people of different "races" has very little to do with DNA. All **** sapians are indeed the same "under the skin".
Evolution and natural selection are fact. Dispute all you want, the evidence is in. People were not "marked" by God, this is nonsense.

Some would say there were people before Adam and Eve, not of God's creation, some would say it is because of the sun, some would say "many different things, i.e. alien influence, interbreeding with sub-species of humans, or with angels, Nephilim" Or with demons, incubi, succubi, or maybe homunculi. It is Hebrew belief that Adam's first wife was named Lillith. If we did all come from Adam and Eve, that does not cut out the fact that any number of things could have happened within the time period from then until now. People Evolve. Hopefully without (too-much) conformity.

Paul said in ACT 17:26 that God made all people "from one", that is from Adam. This means that your color and mind are not products of chance or of nature. God created all people from one. There are no racial mistakes. We are all from one. We are all from the same root racially, God's agenda for us is that we live in harmony with one another, bot in the kingdom and in the culture of life.
Scripture show us how the problem of racism can be fixed immediately when it is dealt with as a sin problem rather than a skin problem or merely as a social and political issue. The solution to the sin of racism is in Galatians2, the well-known incident in which Peter decided it was OK to hang out with Gentile believers until the boys from the Jewish community showed up. Paul confronted Peter because he saw that Peter and his Jewish friends "were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel" Galatians 2:14.
There it is, the solution to racism and the road to reconciliation: being committed to the truth. Paul said that Peter and the other Jewish believers got into trouble because they left the truth they knew, which was in Christ "there is neither Jew nor Gentile" Galatians 3:28
"We may be of different shades of color, but we've been washed in the same red blood of the Lamb.
God bless****

Wouldn't you think that if separated gene pools stayed separated for thousands of years that certain traits would become dominant among a group of people? Until recently, the Chinese were kept away from the world population. As a result, their gene for black hair is extremely strong. Ever seen a blonde or red head Chinese? Pure genetics answers your question.

Oh yes it is a singular trail. Those people who moved North where there is less sunlight (remember in those days the world was more connected without such great expanse of sea) over the years their skin lightened.....

To "create" means to put and keep something in existence. God is Creator because He puts and sustains everything in existence. He is the maker and final goal of everything that exists, all things visible and invisible.
The truth of creation means that God's loving creativity builds into each of us a meaning, purpose and destiny which nothing can take away from us.
Does the Genesis account of creation contradict the scientific theory of evolution? No. In affirming that God is the ultimate cause of all that exists, Genesis gives its ultimate meaning and purpose - "Why" the world exists. It does not explain "how" the physical world came to be in its present condition, which the theory of evolution tries to explain.
Peace!

Psssssssst....Adam and Eve were not real people. There are TWO very different stories of the order of creation in the book of Genesis, in the Bible. So Moses must have been confused when he wrote it, or God told him two different stories, or maybe...just maybe...this is a teaching story developed to explain the origin of the universe.

His skin cells never died before the fall of Adam and Eve, they must have been red as meat. Color doesn't have to do with nationality, it's just pigmentation from something called melonin. Good question for me to shed light on ignorance.
