and u know, if it is impossible for a black man and a black woman to have a white child vice versa, so how can you say that we are descendent of adam and eve, yet there are so many different skin colors?
unless your god made several adams and eves which can't be possible

I'm not usually very good at giving short answers but in this case I'll try. Since you said "your god", I can assume you're Atheist or Agnostic so I can also assume that quoting scripture would be a waste of time.
If, however, you have an open mind, please read this article that I published a couple years ago:
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=90280440&blogID=142791154
It shows that Adam and Eve were not the only (or first) humans on the planet. Although it doesn't directly answer your question about the variety of skin colors on the planet today, it should give you enough information to answer the question.
Suprisingly, none of the answers you've gotten so far has suggested that Noah was the father of the different races. If you read my article and think about the possiblity that Noah and his sons could have married into other races, it would go a long way toward explaining racial diversity.
After that it's just a matter of a combining adaptation to a particlular climate with the characteristics passed down by different gene pools i.e. a certain tribe migrated to asia where their skin color developed over time due to the climate whereas hair color and facial features were the result of dominate genes.
I hope this answers your question.

(Ad′am) [Earthling Man; Mankind; Humankind; from a root meaning “red”].
What explains the development of the various racial characteristics?
“All men living today belong to a single species, Homo sapiens, and are derived from a common stock. . . . Biological differences between human beings are due to differences in hereditary constitution and to the influence of the environment on this genetic potential. In most cases, those differences are due to the interaction of these two sets 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
“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 is that each group of humans appears to be externally different yet underneath these differences there is fundamental similarity.” (Heredity and Human Life) (Thus, early in 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.)

Before the fall, Adam (PBUH) and Eve had bodies of light.
After the fall they acquired the elements of the earth, from the consumption of things such as apples.
After the fall there outer shell was much like that of our fingernails, and it covered the outer surface of their bodies.
There was no original color it emanated like pearl essence.
Color in humans came much later.

They were WASPS. White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. They came from good Mayflower stock. Eden was a country club and
God revoked their membership. Now Adam has to pay green fees and wait for a tee time like everyone else. Eve is a Junior Leaguer.

Yes any thing is possible with God. Adam and Eve could have been any race which they produce another race.

None, they didn't exist. They are just mythology. And the fact that so many people still believe that stuff is so silly! Humans evolved and adapted to the places they lived in the world, making their skin color and features.

Here comes the theory of evolution. Why not study it? Human beings appeared on the face of the earth at different geographical areas. So you find the various races.
