how does Creationism explain the existence of so many different Races ??

Answer 1

don't be so absurd!
why don't you do the sensible thing and look it up on google!!!

Answer 2

We see that in the animal kingdom. When you separate groups of similar animals and just bred them you can almost create a whole new specie.
When we were created there was slight variations in looks and body structure. But by separating the people into similar groups they became more alike.
Such as a Doberman pincher. They are a made bred by selective breeding. Then they made the miniature by breding the smallest of each litter. Much like they made miniature poodles.
Look at the Aborigines in Australia, who are small and dark but nothing like the Pigmy's of Africa.
We do not have just dark skinned people and white people in this world. But variations of all the different types.
It is called variety. Everyone doesn't want a blond, blue eyed women. Some like dark women

Answer 3

I think if depends if you refer to skin color or to actually language and culture barriers. The bible does not give a clear example as to the color of most people on earth at a specific time and date, BUT, the bible does say, God formed man from the dust or dusts of the earth. Either way it would mean, ALL dusts of the earth. Many theologians believe that because there is so many variations of dust color, when you mix them together, you get what is a very very dark color, almost completely black. Many scientist both secular and christian believe Adam and Eve were both very dark individuals. Also, they have found that only light colors can come from dark ones, but not reversed. If it's a matter of culture, the best explaination I can give is the towers of babel which describes God as confusing the language of man, so that they departed from one another.

Answer 4

According to the Bible, all people today descended from the survivors of a great Flood - Noah's family, who in turn descended from Adam and Eve (Gen 1:11). There are many stories, from many parts of the world, of a great Flood that only several people survived to repopulate the earth.
But today we have many different groups, often called "races" with what seem to be greatly differing features. The most obvious of these is skin color. Some see this as a reason to doubt the Bible's record of history. They believe that the various groups could have arisen only by evolving separately over tens of thousands of years. However, this does not follow from the evidence.
The Bible tells us how the population that descended from Noah's family had one language and were living together and disobeying God's command to "fill the earth" (Gen 9:1, 11:4). God confused their language, causing a break-up of the population into smaller groups, which scattered over the earth (Gen. 11:8-9). Modern genetics shows how, following such a break-up of a population, variations in skin color, for example, can develop in only a few generations. And there is good evidence to show that the various groups of people we have today have NOT been separated for huge periods of time.
One could say there is really only one race - the human race. The Bible teaches us that God has "made from one blood all nations of men" (Acts 17:26. Scripture distinguishes people by tribal or national groupings, not by skin color or physical features. Clearly, though, there are groups of people, who have certain features (e.g. skin color) in common, which distinguish them from other groups. We prefer to call these "people groups" rather than "races," to avoid the evolutionary and racist connotations that have become associated with the word "race."
All peoples can intermarry and produce fertile offspring. This shows that the biological differences between the "races" are not great. In fact, the DNA differences are trivial. The DNA of any two people in the world would typically differ by just 0.2%. Of this, only 6% can be linked to racial categories; the rest is "within race" variation.
This genetic unity means, for instance, that white Americans, although ostensibly far removed from black Americans in phenotype, can sometimes be better tissue matches for them than other black Americans.

Answer 5

The Bible tells us how the population that descended from Noah’s family had one language and by living in one place were disobeying God’s command to ‘fill the earth’ (Genesis 9:1, 11:4). God confused their language, causing a break-up of the population into smaller groups which scattered over the earth (Genesis 11:8-9). Modern genetics show how, following such a break-up of a population, variations in skin color, for example, can develop in only a few generations. There is good evidence that the various people groups we have today have not been separated for huge periods of time.
However, there is really only one race—the human race. The Bible teaches us that God has ‘made of one blood all nations of men’ (Acts 17:26). Scripture distinguishes people by tribal or national groupings, not by skin color or physical appearance. Clearly, though, there are groups of people who have certain features (e.g., skin color) in common, which distinguish them from other groups.

Answer 6

OOH! OOH! PICK ME! PICK ME!
I just studied this one, read Genesis chapter 11. Its about the tower of Babel, and explains how God confused the languages and scattered the peoples over the face of the earth.
I would think that when the languages were confused and the people scattered, that regional differences would have occurred also, thus creating not only different languages, but different peoples.

Answer 7

It explains a lot. God created everything. Then after the Deluge (the Flood), God told Noah and his family to increase and spread out through the world, but they didn't. Eventually, that led to the Tower of Babel where people tried to build a tower to reach God because they wanted praise. From Noah to the tower of Babel, everyone spoke the same language. Then, God confused their language, so everyone split up becuase they couldn't understand each other.

Answer 8

All men living today belong to a single species, Homosapiens, and are derived from a common stock...Biological differiences between human beings are due to differences in hereditary constitutions and to the influences of the environment on the genetic potential. In most cases, those differences are due to the interaction of these two sects of factors..Differences between individuals within a race or within a population are often greater than the average differences between races or populations. An international body of scientists convened by UNESCO, quoted in statement on race (new york, 1972, third ed. ) Ashly Montagu,pp. 149,150 A race is simply one of the partially isolated gene pools into which the human species came to be divided during and following its early geographical spread. Roughly one race has developed on each of the five major continental areas of the earth,...Man did indeed diverge genetically during this phase of history and we can measure and study the results of this divergence in what remains today of the old geographical races.As we would expect, divergence appears to be correlated with the degree of isolation...When race formation took place on the continents, with the bottlenecking of thousands of populations in isolated gene pools all over the world, the gene=frequency differences we now see were established...The paradox which faces us us that each group of humans appears to be externally different yet underneath these differences there is fundamental similarity."( heredity and human life< new york, 1963, H.L. Carson, pp. 151,154,162,163) Thus, early human history, when a group of people were isolated from others and married within the group, certain distinctive combinations of genetic traits were emphasized in their offspring.)

Answer 9

I don't think it does or can. Seeing how their are almost as many races as their are religions. Who is to say which one is right, they all believe theirs is. The fact is creationism was actually "created" by man himself. Mankind has never been fine with things they can't understand so they have to have a reason for everything, they can't grasp the reality of the unknown, and fear what happens when you die. So they must make something to believe in for comfort and sometimes sanity.

Answer 10

The same way creationism explains everything:


God Did It.

Answer 11

Creationism explains the creation of man. As for the existence of different races, that is called adaptation to one's environment. There are biological reasons why differing groups of people look different and they are directly linked to their geographic location.

For example, people that live in northern regions, like the alps, tend to be barrel chested because they need larger lungs in order get enough oxygen because the air is not as saturated as it is in other regions of the world. This barrel chestedness can be seen in as early as the first or second generation of immigrants to that region

Another example is how northerners have longer, slimmer noses. This is due to the bodies need to warm air before it enters the lungs. People from southern regions don't need this as the air is already warm so they tend to have shorter, wider noses.

People in sunnier regions have darker skin pigment because they don't need to absorb as much sun as people from northern regions. There is a lack of sun in the north which requires people to be lighter skinned in order to get maximum absorbtion. Therefore, skin pigment gets lighter the farther north one goes and darker the farther south one goes. This is evident in subsequent generations of immigrants also.
