"3) To the person who said if the flood happened, why don't we all look like Noah. Your argument fails as well. You have within you already the genetic code to look like a man from China, you have with in you the dna to look like a black man, you have within you the dna to look like an eskimo, a mexican, a white man, etc."

This argument fails because if this were true you would hear about stories and probably know people where you have two white people concieve a black child or a kid that looks asian etc.etc...Or two pure asians that have a child that looks hispanic....

Chieficus - 3) To the person who said if the flood happened, why don't we all look like Noah. Your argument fails as well. You have within you
already the genetic code to look like a man from China, you have with in you the dna to look like a black man, you have within you
the dna to look like an eskimo, a mexican, a white man, etc. Variations that determine skin color and other racial variants such as
nose shape, eye shape and hair color take only a few generations to change. Not to mention the human history of inbreeding that
genetically pushes towards a certain extreme depending upon the traits of the group and also tends to eliminates the possibility of
variant traits occuring within the offspirng of future generations without the incorporation of outbreeding.


You need to find a link or something to prove this. I`m having difficulty believeing this.
If it were true, wouldn`t we all just be one race?

"This argument fails because if this were true you would hear about stories and probably know people where you have two white people concieve a black child or a kid that looks asian etc.etc...Or two pure asians that have a child that looks hispanic...."

I'm a creationist, but I'm going to quote a college-level evolution text book to refute your statement (Evolutionary Analysis--Freeman and Herron): "...taken together, the genetic data and at least some of the morphological data suggest that 1) all present-day people are descended from African ancestors, and 2) all present-day non-African people are descended from H. sapiens ancestors who left Africa within the last few hundred thousand years. Present-day differences among races must have arisen since then."

Even the popular evolutionist argument says that the earth's current population came from a noah-like (in the sense that our ancestors were of the same race) background.

You start out with a similar population and as it breaks up and spreads out, you get inbreeding among the groups, this changes the genetic adaptive landscape of the group and you get a push towards certain traits and the virtual elimination of others. This does not mean that the genetic code has been changed, only a mutation can do that and the effects of inbreeding are not coupled to mutations (they may occur together, but you can have one without the other). Because of this you get a population that only has an extremely small chance (close enough to zero) of ever showing a particular trait again unless it outbreeds with a member of another population (and in the case of races, this would be a mixed-race relationship); however the trait remains in the genetic code (there has been no mutation to hinder it or change it). Thus you will not hear of a white couple having a black or asian child. The DNA is the same, nonetheless, the expression of the traits is different...

Is this one of these religous postings again?
