You know, there isn't much reference to skin color in the Bible until Song of Solomon.

I'll bet they were a shade of brown, as we are all shades of brown to various degrees. I've never seen a "white" or "black" person from the reference point of true color...lighter and darker brown, yes.

Plus you got Micro Evolution
We know that around the time of egypt (1000 BC) you had a distinctly negroid face build and a distinctly caucasian face build. If micro evolution can alter short burst muscle and skin color in 3000 years then you've as well as proved the theory of evolution.

Cute, but there's a genetic component that indisputably exists. If it evolved out, then you are positing a large scale micro-evolution in 3000 years. Imagine what could happen in a span 100 times longer then that, if skin colors could evolve that quickly.

How exactly can you tell a race from a Skeleton?

microevolution
n : evolution resulting from small specific genetic changes that
can lead to a new subspecies(aka race).
Micro "evolution" is the only "evolution" that happens.
Macro is BS.

Plus I saw/read something about a color change in some moth................

PS How long does Micro"evolution" take?

That is the easy part. You take the bones, add the muscle and soft tissue where they know it would be and how it would be shaped on such a bone structure and there you have it.

But I think what he was referring to was the fact that Egyptian art shows both distinct facial styles.

Oh, and did you find out any more about your 7 inch people yet?

See, here's where you're contradicting yourself. Because you don't have a real understanding of how evolution works.

Macro Evolution isn't the half leg / half wing analogy many Hovindites are so fond off. It's a series of Micro Evolutions. Basically, Macro Evolution is really hindsight in action. The only difference between the two terms is merely the span of time considered.

Do you have evidence of a mechanism that prevents one species becoming a new one?
He doesn't.

He doesn't understand that one species doesn't just spontaneously turn into a new one. The transition from chimp to human took a long time and involved many inter-species, each only slightly variated from the other.

Adam and Eve were likely darker skinned, I don't think black, but darker than caucasians. Different skin colors came from the amount of melanin produced based on geographic location. Hot, sunny areas like Africa caused a greater increase in melanin to absorb the UV rays. European and northern races didn't get exposed to as much sun and needed less melanin.

There's distinct feature differences which were apparent in egyptian ART. We could probably do skeletal dating back farther but you don't accept that. However tomb art clearly shows black features.

Macro is BS.

PS How long does Micro"evolution" take?
For something like short-fire muscle differences and darkening skin? Some time.

If you read the bible, you would already know the races of Adam and Eve....

Adam was made out of what? Dirt. What is the normal color of dirt?
A shade of brown.

Eve was made out of what? Bone. What is the normal color of bone?
A shade of white.

Also, those two somehow managed to make all races because the names of Noah's sons were colors, one son for each race. And Noah and his son's are the only ones after the flood that matter in determining the races of humanity.

OK, I can't tell whether this is a joke or not. If so, it is pretty funny. If not, it is pretty scary.
