Both Scripture and observational science make it clear there’s only one race—the human race. The idea that there’re many different races is an old evolutionary belief—and it’s been thrown out.
So, why do we look different? Well, God put a tremendous amount of genetic diversity into human DNA at the beginning. And after the flood, the Bible tells us that Noah’s descendants were divided by language at the Tower of Babel. People spread around the world, isolating themselves from each other, splitting up the human gene pool. Soon, different people groups—not races—arose.
Genesis explains our differences! There’s one race—the human race.
