Ok, if we were created from adam and eve would that mean there was only one race? How could so many different races exist if there was only one source? Evolutionist, this is also a problem for your theories also. If a human is a human what ever the source how could there be so many different races?

I don't buy into any theory presented to date. Whats your defense on your belief?

I am not saying i believe in either. So one say adapting to environment. Ok how would that change your race? Your bloodline does not change, just the environment.

LOL, so if I move to a different part of the world and exposed myself and my future generations to a new environment. My family tree will technical evolve to a different color or other changes? What you claim should work in reverse if it is true....

There are no transitional links and intermediate forms in either the fossil record or the modern world. Therefore, there is no actual evidence that evolution has occurred either in the past or the present.

Natural selection (the supposed evolution mechanism, along with mutations) is incapable of advancing an organism to a "higher-order".

Although evolutionists state that life resulted from non-life, matter resulted from nothing, and humans resulted from animals, each of these is an impossibility of science and the natural world.

Day One: God supposedly creates the "heaven and the Earth", and there are already "waters" even though the Earth is without form and there is still no Sun. Then, he creates light. But still no Sun. He even separates the light and darkness into night and day ... and still no Sun!

Day Five: God creates the birds and sea animals (including whales) before creating a single land animal, in total defiance of the fossil record. Mind you, this is actually the least absurd Genesis Day so far.

the only way to interpret Genesis without dogmatically defying everything we have rationally determined about the workings of the universe is to treat it as pure allegorical myth, not historical storytelling.

How on earth could this be a problem for evolutionary theory? The idea of evolution by natural selection is that organisms change so that they survive better and have more children in their particular environment. In hot places, it's advantageous to have darker skin; in cooler places, it's advantageous to have lighter skin; in very cold places, it's advantageous to have flaps of skin to protect the eyes, as many Asians do.

This is also not a massive problem for creationists: you can just assume that God changed people so that they could survive better in their particular environments.

I think you need to read a bit more about science.

The amount of variation between races is consistent with a separation of populations of a few tens of thousands of years, which corresponds nicely with evidence of migration of the original African population to Europe and Asia. Isolation thereafter, resulting from long distance as well as natural calamities such as ice ages, would have the populations evolving differently, as we see today. Evolution is now a proven fact; details on request to anyone who provides an e-mail address.

Postscript: one responder mentions Pangaea. The land mass broke up about a hundred million years before humankind appeared, so was not a factor in human evolution.

If you don't believe God created the world and you don't believe in evolution, how do you believe life was formed on the earth?

There is variety everywhere. Tigers are different in different parts of the world. Sheep appear very different from each other based on where they're from. This is because the individuals adapted to their own environments and because God is so incredibly creative. What's the problem with this?

Genesis
Chapter 11
1
1 The whole world spoke the same language, using the same words.
2
2 While men were migrating in the east, they came upon a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3
They said to one another, "Come, let us mold bricks and harden them with fire." They used bricks for stone, and bitumen for mortar.
4
3 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky, and so make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered all over the earth."
5
LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men had built.
6
Then the LORD said: "If now, while they are one people, all speaking the same language, they have started to do this, nothing will later stop them from doing whatever they presume to do.
7
Let us then go down and there confuse their language, so that one will not understand what another says."
8
Thus the LORD scattered them from there all over the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9
4 That is why it was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the speech of all the world. It was from that place that he scattered them all over the earth.

"Races" are just collections of common physical traits. Those traits evolved in certain populations as an adaptation to the particular environment in which that population lived.

Even if Adam and Eve were the first humans, there had to be evolution to get all the various traits.

The method of disproving a theory is usually supported by a positive theory.

I'm not sure any of your disbelief really matters. In my faith, the theories of how there are many races from Adam & Eve is a non-essential belief. What is essential is the belief that Jesus Christ is God, lived as man, died as man and was ressurected as God.

The fun part is Jesus loves you and wants a relationship with you.

Different races come from the fact that when people started migrating around the world, they began to adapt to their environments. Those who went North became paler in response to the less hours of sun and the colder climates. Those who went to the Equatorial region became darker in response to the intense heat and long hours of sunlight. Those who went East adapted to their mountainous environment.

The answer to both of these is EVOLUTION!!! Learn about evolution and you will understand this. Race is not a biological term. It's something people came up with - like blond and brunette. It is a genetic attribute, that's all.

I don't believe in the existence of MMs chocolates, if they existed they would come in only one colour, yet people report to me that the packets have many colours so therefore I must be missing somethink no one manufacturer could spend so much effort producing so many differnet colours of the same candy!

Wait, so if you believe in evolution there is a problem with different humans adapting to live better in their native environment?

Am I missing something here?
