Blacks are the descendants of Ham, right?
Jews and other Arabs are from the rest of Noah's family.
Where did whites, asians, indians, etc come from? Is 4500 years enough to account for the extreme racial diversity in the world? Did God go around just "marking" random people not mentioned in the Bible?

Yes, the Mark of Cain is from the Book of Mormon.
However, the Southern Baptist and others believe that part of Ham's punishment for seeing Noah naked was to be sent into Africa and his descendents are black.

This is called adaptation. If you permanently change the environment of a species, over the course of a few generations, that species will adapt to said environment.
**Now this is irony. I answered almost the exact same question with the exact same answer a while back and got all thumbs-up. The difference? The other question did not separate Christianity out of all the religions that believe in creationism and concentrated on Creationism itself.

If you read Genesis 11, it gives details about the migration of several other children of Noah, and the areas of the world into which then moved, including parts of Europe and Asia near the Middle East.
Some common assumptions that people make are that Adam and Eve were of the same "race". If God formed them as an interracial couple at the beginning, then the emerging of additional races through breeding becomes simple.
It is also assumed that all of Noah's family was a single race. Again, if Noah and his wife were interracial and the three sons each married to a girl of a varying racial heritage, the re-emergence of races would only take a handful of generations.
Oh, and the Bible does NOT teach the the "mark of Cain" was his becoming a different race. That is from the book of Morman.

And as Kerkut stated (the final theory of) evolution is a hypothesis. "on the different hand there is the theory that each and every of the dwelling varieties interior the international have arisen from a single source which itself got here from an inorganic type. This theory would properly be talked approximately as the ‘time-honored theory of Evolution’ and the evidence that helps it is not sufficiently sturdy to enable us to evaluate it as something extra beneficial than a working hypothesis." different theories are actually not basically as good as one yet another. as a effect creation is the theory that suits the information, and Evolution is the theory the information do not in fantastic condition.

My cousins were born in California and later moved to Hawaii. Now they look Hawaiian. Imagine what could happen in 4500 years.
Actually hang on. What is the alternative? Apes in Africa evolved into Africans. Chimps in Asia evolved into Chinese. Monkeys in France evolved into the French. Each heritage had an ape/monkey/chimp ancestor? C'mon its more logical for us all to sprout from one source and become divided from there rather then for separate primate species in China, Korea, Vietnam, Iran, Israel, Ethiopia, France, Germany, England, and America to all simultaneously evolve into homosapiens.

It is also said that when God struck down the tower of Babel he gave everyone different forms of speech so that they could not communicate and build another tower then sent them to different parts of the world .

justsyd doesnt know ****. it is possible for a multitude of different races to come from a single pair of middle brown people. adam and eve were middle brown. not only is it possible, it has indeed happened on a number of occasions, twins, one black one white being born from the same womb.

Selar, Tower of Babel refers only to LANGUAGE.

Creationism doesn't allow for other races. The bible only speaks of mixing the languages. There's a huge flaw in that theory.
