Welcome to my thread.
We'll begin with the question: "How do you explain all the different races of humans without accepting evolution?"
By the Christian argument, if you assume the biblical flood destroyed all mankind, then everyone descended from Noah and his family...
If you assume some did survive the biblical flood, then all human races descended from Adam and Eve.
For those of you who constantly pop in and claim 'Evolution is a lie, conceived by Satan, a religion to undermine Christianity...etc...etc...
Please explain how so many races exist today... (without using evolution)
Stay tuned for further Biblical Stories which only evolution can explain. |

How does that support evolution, and explain different human races?

You can't. But that bible story doesn't support evolution.

Yeah it does. Common ancestor. Diversification and adaptation. Either by a natural process or something else.
Unless you invoke "something else", evolution is the only way to go. |

Reps: 34 (power: 0) | | | JesusServant, he wants to know how do you explain the diversity of races using only Biblical references or stories. If we are all descended from Adam and Eve, or Noah and his family there would be only one race, so how does an evolution denier explain it?
