Little question for creationists

How exactly can you tell a race from a Skeleton?

We have paintings, remember?

But there are skeletal differences that allow you to assign skeletons to various "races".

1. CS Coon, The Origin of Races, 1962.

Micro "evolution" is the only "evolution" that happens.
Macro is BS.

Macro is speciation and is now as well-documented as micro. You are going to have to pick a new defensive line.

PS How long does Micro"evolution" take?

Depends on generation time and selection pressure.

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.

ROFL!! Sorry, but this is simply too funny!

Skin gets it's color from the amount of pigments in it, particularly melanin. This is an organic molecule.

Dirt or dust gets its color from small crystals of granite and other minerals.

Bone gets it's color from the mineral hydroxyapetite.

In both cases the color comes from minerals which are not organic molecules, much less melanin.

Have you read St. Augustine? I'm thinking particularly about his caution against Christians spouting nonsense about matters scientific that they do not understand.

I would lean towards a medium tone... but I've really never cared to know for sure.

Its a joke..... but hey, its biblical! It has to be right!
People obtaining their pigment through the dirt and bone they are made of makes as much sense as a literal interpretation of Genesis.

Unfortunately true.
