what do I mean “scattered”?  Well, jump over to Genesis 11 and let’s talk about an event known as the Tower of Babel.  Basically, because of the sinful actions of the descendants of Noah, the Lord confused their language and scattered them from there over all the earth.  That’s pretty clear and concise.  Okay.  So we’ve got lots of people who were descendants of the eight folks who came off the ark and now they have been scattered all over the earth.  That explains that we are still one race and that different groups of people ended up in different locations.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>But how did we get a bunch of different colored people if we are all one race?  Well, follow along.  This, of course, is a simplified explanation but the basic principles are true.  We all have a pigment in our bodies called melanin which, depending on different variables, produces different shades of the one main skin color we all possess.  Several genes control the amount of melanin produced and, thus, the variability in the skin shade.  In fact, it’s easy for one couple to produce a wide range of skin shade variability in just one generation as we’ll see in just a moment.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Time for a quick genetics lesson.  DNA is the molecule of heredity that is passed from parents to children.  A child inherits 23 chromosomes from each parent.  Each chromosome paired contains hundreds of genes which regulate the physical development of the child.  However, to illustrate basic genetic principles pertaining to the topic, we’ll just talk about two genes, the genes that control the production of melanin.  So, let capital “A” and capital “B” symbolize versions of the gene that code for large amounts of melanin and while little “a” and little “b” code for small amounts.  Got it?  Easy.  Check this out.  Take a look at the upper left.  Let’s say dad contributes capital “A” and capital “B” genes and mom contributes capital “A” and capital “B” genes as well.  Together they were produced a child with capital “A,” capital “A”, capital “B,” and capital “B.”  This is a kid with a lot of melanin and, thus, he will have very dark skin.  Easy to see.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Here’s the bigger point though.  Let’s say dad contributes capital “A,” capital “B” and mom contributes little “a” and little “b.”  Well, the child’s skin will be middle brown shade.  The combination of capital “A,” little “a,” and capital “B,” little “b” which, by the way, represents a majority of the world’s population.  Not only that, but if each parent is capital “A” and little “a,” capital “B,” little “b,” the combinations that could be produced in their children could result in a very wide range of skin shades in just one generation.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>So, since Adam and Eve were the first people ever, it makes sense to conclude that God placed in them a combination of genes that could produce all different shades of skin we see.  Those same combinations would be present in Noah and the seven other people who boarded the ark.  And because God disbursed people at the Tower of Babel, he disbursed the population, thereby isolating gene pools in the different people groups.  Over time, different cultures formed in different locations with certain features like skin shade becoming predominant and here we are today.  And since we all go back to Noah and his family, it makes sense that we are all different shades of brown, one race, multiple people groups, just like the Bible teaches.  Simplified for sure but enough said.\u003C\u002Fp>","If we all descended from Adam and Eve, then where did all the races come from?
