How did we get white, black, asian, and hispanic people? Assuming Adam & Eve could have been any of the races listed. Does this make us all incest?
Is evolution more believable when you think of it from this point of view?

Evolution is a fact anyway, but good luck telling Christians that.

I suppose many faiths say that Adam and Eve were the first 2 humans on the planet 6000 years ago and everybody descended from them but I think there is enough evidence that man was around long before Adam and Eve. I see the story of Adam and Eve as just a fictional story written in symbolic language showing how sin entered the world.

That We have come into this world after generations and generations,that we are hale and intelligent enough to ask that question should answer you question.about Adam and Eve.
Noone said anything about their being of the same parents which would make it incest.Just that they were the first male&female.
As for the various colours and races,with changes in the areas and climatic changes,maybe the skin colors changed from fair-skinned to dark.But the basic body physiology like the color of blood flowing in everybody's body has been and will be the same .All the rest like colors and cultures are just a physical adaptations of the places they all live in.

Yes, but no telling what the population was in 130 years when Cain killed Abel and Seth was born.
Jacob had the 12 tribes of Israel, and a total of Gen.46:27; 70 family menber at age 130 Gen.47:9,11; when they were placed in Rameses Egypt 215 years after the Promised Land covenant was given to Abraham. Jacobs oldest son was age 51, his family could have been double if he had began at age 30.
There will be 600,000 in 215 years Exo.12:37,40,41; at Exodus.

Evolution is NOT a fact people.
The Tower of Babel was. That's when it all came undone. Confused speech was a by-product of that. It doesn't take much to get why humanity has different races. Irregardless of what others may say remember that evolution was and still is a Theory. NO where has it been proven and if I am wrong please share it with the rest of us.
That is a challenge to you people that think we evolved from a monkey.

People can change color within only a few generations. The melanin in our skin can adapt to the climates we live in.
Example:
I married a girl from the Philippines, a dark-skinned, hot and humid climate, low elevation culture.
We moved to a place in the US where the elevation is 2200 feet above sea level, dry and cold. The first time she came here, her nose blead the whole time. She has now adapted (over about 6 years). She doesn't tan as easily, her skin is getting lighter, and her skin doesn't dry out like it used to.
Our son has some of the traits of filipinos (like tiny pieces of mustache above the corner of each mouth), but he has nothing of the dark skin.

Where did we get French, Spanish, Swedish, English, Dutch, German, Italian? Did each country have its own ape patriarch? No these features just gradually change depending on our spouse and where we live. My mom is American Indian, my dad has European ancestry, so I look somewhere in the middle but am often mistaken as Filipino. Do you really think each heritage had its own monkey ancestor?

What's all this business cracking on about incest in the Old Testament - couldn't care a fig about it. Look to your own present behaviour and stop boring people about other's past.

adam and eve had sets of twins, each of them represented as siblings to each other only.
The reason we have races is kind of obvious...over time people change..alot. and havent you seen two people from the same race who look completely different?

God made people before Adam and Eve.Read Genesis 1.God made Adam and Eve In Our image God said.That Means God the Father and Jesus His Son
Genesis 1 v 27So God created Human beings.
Genesis 2 v 7 Then the Lord took some soil from the ground and formed a man out of it.
Read it it is in there.No incest.People can say anything.It is easier to teach someone that does not know than to teach someone that has been taught wrong.It is hard to tell someone that has heard the same thing over and over.
