..some scholars say God created different races,besides Adam & Eve. That is where Cain found his wife, when he was kicked out the of the Garden of Eden for murdering Abel.He wandered into the land of Nod,were the innocent people(different races were)...Yet,I did not find any of this in the Bible?

No he didn't take any other than his family. There were Eight people on board. They were Noah, his three sons (Ham, Shem, and Japeth), and their four wives (we don't know their names).

You wont find it in the Bible because Cain never lived in the Garden of Eden. But he was sent into the land of Nod. But in Hebrew the word Nod means to wander. God punished him by making him wander around aimlessly.
Noah and his family were the only survivors of the Great Flood.
Not sure where different races come from, I do know that tower of Babble story comes right after the flood, God punished man by making everyone speak a diff language.
In my Mythology class we are studying Cosmosgraphy (how the world was made) and we recently did a 3 week study on the book of Genisis.

In Genesis 7:7, Noah took his family,
Gen 7:7 Then Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him entered the ark because of the water of the flood.
Genesis 6:10 says Noah had 3 sons.
3 sons plus their wives, plus Noah and his wife = 8.
Cain was not kicked out of the Garden of Eden for killing Abel. Cain was born after Adam and Eve was expelled from the Garden for disobeience to God for earting the forbidden fruit. The Bible says that adam and Eve many sons and daughters.
Gen 5:4 Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters. Cain's wife was probally one his relatives-a sister or a cousin.

God may well have put different genetic codes in. I think Ham was the father of the black race and Shem of the whites.
Adam and Eve's children married each other. Eve, after all, was the mother of all living.

There is only one human race.... But there are different genetic variations within the human genetic pool, that is where we get the different colors, and supposedly that happened after the flood, at the tower of babel, or after the flood is when i think it started....

No, there were no room for Neaderthals and all other pre-homosapian species. That's why we find their fossils. No room for the dinosaurs either. ******* stupid story.

of course you didn't...it's all a fable, mythology and full of contradictions and loose ends...but you know, maybe it was not necessary for God to create different races...cause when people went to live in different climates and started to eat different kinds of food then their genes started to change in order to adapt...it is called EVOLUTION
