Explanation is that Adam and Eve possessed the genes to produce black, brown, and white offspring (and everything else in between). This would be similar to how a mixed-race couple often has children that vary greatly in color from one another. Since God obviously desired humanity to be diverse in appearance, it makes sense that God would have given Adam and Eve the ability to produce children of different skin tones. Later, the only survivors of the Flood were Noah and his wife, Noah’s three sons and their wives, eight people in all (Genesis 7:13). Perhaps Shem’s, Ham’s, or Japheth’s wives were of different races. It is possible that Noah’s wife was of a different race than Noah. Maybe all 8 of them were of mixed race, which would mean that they possessed the genetics to produce children of different races. Whatever the explanation, the most important aspect of this question is that we are all the same race, all created by the same God, all created for the same purpose.

There is NO explanation and that is the main problem with evolution vs genesis, besides the whole God created man problem, lol.

Even IF Noah's children's wives were all of different races it still doesn't explain how everyone isn't the same race. The selective inbreeding wouldn't have occurred through the tower of babel because all peoples were obviously united in that time period.

The idea that God made Adam and Eve capable of producing all different races of children is another completely illogical excuse for God similar to man walking with the dinosaurs. Adam and Eve's offspring would have had to be capable of producing children of different races also in order to produce as many races as we have today, if that were the case we would have the same ability.

All ethnic peoples were created on the 6th day.

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

They were hunters and Fishers.

All White peoples were formed on the eighth day.

Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

120'adam aw-dawm' from ''adam' (119); ruddy i.e. a human being (an individual or the species, mankind, etc.):--X another, + hypocrite, + common sort, X low, man (mean, of low degree), person.

A man that can blush in the face. Only the white peoples can do that. These were farmers and had power over the domestic animals.

No evidence Biblically to suggest that God created mankind as either, it is not known nor is it important if Adam and Eve were either Black or White, We were at one time all one race as described in The Old Testamant In Gen 6:11

Gen 11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.


Gen 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.


Gen 11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.


Gen 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.


Gen 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.


Gen 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.


Gen 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Here in America there might be mainly white and black people, but I just went to Brazil and they're all brown. In China, India, we are all different colors. After the flood in Genesis, the only people alive were Noah and his three sons and their wives. Historians have hypothesized that from Noah's three sons came the three different races. Europeans, Africans, and Asians.

Our countries general weather and climate. And transmigration between countries.
Any two people on earth an have children. It does not matter what colour you are.
All our makeup is the same.
In contrast, animals generally cannot interbreed.
There have been some example of lions and tigers producing young...but those young cannot breed further.
And they ARE both of the cat family.
Same with horses and donkeys...producing infertile mules.. and there it stops.
But ALL healthy people remain fertile.

Skin color and other racial characteristics are irrelevant to our faith. When God said, "Let Us make Man in Our image." He wasn't speaking of the physical form. He was speaking about the spirit that is within the vessel, the spirit hat has the ability to change the world with the words of his mouth. In that way we are like God. With faith, what we say is, for good or ill, we thrive or perish by the words of our mouth.

When God judges men for their lives he will not examine them for their skin color but for how they treated each other. How did you care for the least of you? The sick, the poor, the weak and the outcasts. These are here so you can show God's Love in the world. Care more about this than little things like White or Black skin or who has faith and who does not.

Of course, biblical apologists have an answer for this, which is as much nonsense as the rest of the Genesis story.

Noah had three sons -- Ham, Shem and Japheth.

The sons of Ham, or Hamites were the people of Egypt and the rest of Africa (black).
The sons of Shem, or Semites became the tribes of Israel.
The sons of Japheth became the rest of the Indo-European races.

The same way anyone else would explain it.

"Skin color is due primarily to the presence of a pigment called melanin . Both light and dark complexioned people have this pigment. However, two forms are produced--pheomelanin , which is red to yellow in color, and eumelanin , which is dark brown to black. People with light complexioned skin mostly produce pheomelanin, while those with dark colored skin mostly produce eumelanin. In addition, individuals differ in the number and size of melanin particles. The latter two variables are more important in determining skin color than the percentages of the different kinds of melanin. In lighter skin, color is also affected by red cells in blood flowing close to the skin. To a lesser extent, the color is affected by the presence of fat under the skin and carotene , a reddish-orange pigment in the skin."

While I realize that people who are biased against the Bible and/or religions in general would prefer to try to slate all people who adhere to religions as ignorant, that is far from the truth.
The only real difference is that we choose not to put faith in the "evolution(only)" theory.

God told man and woman to go and multiply and bring forth the populations of the Earth. Adam and Eve "went forth" and each child went to different parts of the land and humans adapted the skins and traits needed to survive where they were.
