You don't say, so why is there three distinct racial categories, did the monkeys in China, the monkeys in Africa and the monkeys in Europe come down from the trees at the same time?

Here are the facts.
1. The racial characteristics of mankind are split into three distinctive categories
2. The Bible offers an explanation of why this is the case.
3.You can either accept it or reject it or provide an alternative hypothesis.
this is rational, logical and entirely reasonable, why is should present any difficulties to logic, reason or rationality, I cannot say, for its perfectly simple and perfectly clear.
Evidence Robert, where is your evidence? Surely there should be mountains of genetic evidence to support your claims?

I accept you believe what you believe, but I am interested in your explanation how you can reconcile the "facts" of the Noah story with the facts in the world as we now see it.
I have already elucidated on the thought process, i will not do so again, its tiresome and tedious to repeat oneself again and again.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThe Bible says there were three sons. How do you claim this can result in "1. The racial characteristics of mankind are split into three distinctive categories". What would Noah's race have to have been ~ and his wife's race? And His sons' races ~ and their wives' races? When you decided that you accepted the Bible's 'three sons' explanation, what was your thought process for deciding it did result in the racial diversity we see in the world today?

Originally posted by FMFYawn, repeated now for the fourth or fifth time, I don't know what Noah or his wife nor his sons nor their wives racial characteristics were nor is there any way of knowing. You asked a question, you got answer, you can accept it, reject it or offer an alternative.

Originally posted by Proper Knobtake a look at humankind, you will find from China, all across the Russian steppes, Mongolia, Norther Afghanistan into Lapland, Northern Sweden and Norway all along the arctic tundra, across to North America and Alaska and down to south America Mongoloid peoples, in Europe and Asia minor into Iran and India, down to Sri Lanka you will find Caucasian and from Africa you will find Negroid. How hard can it be?
I get that. Do you have any evidence to support your theory? You either do or you don't.
