Default Races

hi, i am new here and my question was what is the main response of someone from the christian faith to the devlopment of all the different races that coexist in this world?How did blacks,asians,whites, etc. all come about?

Thank You for your responses.

There's no Biblical answer to this but there's probably some sort of creationist answer to it so I'm going to shoot this over to E/C.

well i think according to egyption mythology the creator god (ra's father?) jacked off and out popped the people.

so maybe the diferent races come from diferent std's...

The Chinese myth says that the creator took his time to create the Chinese people from the finest and smoothest clay possible. And after that he got tired and just dragged a rope through the mud and flung it around, producing all the other colors.

So maybe they come from botched pottery work?

Have you considered going to a Christian message board to ask them directly? I'm not sure that we have enough Christians here on the Internet Infidels Discussion Board who might see this and/or reply.
