    I have a question for you staunch anti-evolutionists, how do you explain black people and white people?

    Your question, Euph, is slightly off topic, but I copied this from the Answers in Genesis website:

    Virtually all evolutionists would now say that the various people groups did not have separate origins. That is, different people groups did not each evolve from a different group of animals. So they would agree with the biblical creationist that all people groups have come from the same original population. Of course, they believe that such groups as the Aborigines and the Chinese have had many tens of thousands of years of separation. Most believe that there are such vast differences between the groups that there had to be many years for these differences to develop.

    One reason for this is that many people believe that the observable differences arise from some people having unique features in their hereditary make-up which others lack. This is an understandable but incorrect idea. Let’s look at skin color, for instance. It is easy to think that since different groups of people have ‘yellow’ skin, ‘red’ skin, ‘black’ skin, ‘white’ skin and ‘brown’ skin, there must be many different skin pigments or colorings. And since different chemicals for coloring would mean a different genetic recipe or code in the hereditary blueprint in each people group, it appears to be a real problem. How could all those differences develop within a short time?

    However, we all have the same coloring pigment in our skin—melanin. This is a dark-brownish pigment that is produced in different amounts in special cells in our skin. If we had none (as do people called albinos, who inherit a mutation-caused defect, and cannot produce melanin), then we would have a very white or pink skin coloring. If we produced a little melanin, we would be European white. If our skin produced a great deal of melanin, we would be a very dark black. And in between, of course, are all shades of brown. There are no other significant skin pigments.4

    In summary, from currently available information, the really important factor in determining skin color is melanin—the amount produced.

    Euph, I didn't even SEE your question until now.

    I appreciate your eagerness to discuss the differences of opinion on this topic. I would appreciate if, in the future, you would respect when someone is simply posting a RESOURCE and not post your discussionary questions within that thread. If a post such as this sparks a question such as you've posed here, it is just as easy to start another thread.

    Thank you for respecting the "on topic" netiquette. I really appreciate it. :)
