Where Did All the Races Come From? They Didn't!

Where did all the races come from? The biblical answer is they didn't.

But why are there so many different races in the world? There aren't. Ok, why do people have different skin colors? They don't. From a scientific standpoint, we all have the same skin color, melanin, just different amounts of it. We're all different shades of brown and from a Scriptural standpoint this chapter makes clear all the people across the globe descended from the same family, not different “races” (a word the Bible never uses but is an idea that had more to do with evolution and racism historically in contrast to the biblical picture of one human race from Genesis onward).

The whole categorizing of people into races and colors is not scientifically or Scripturally sound, and even our use of the world's terms has led to prejudice and much dividing of the family of man, even the family of Christ.
