[Augustine23618]

To the best of my knowledge, the Bible doesn’t mention rabbits, cats or hamsters, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t known. I have dug marine fossils in the Midwest, and I can believe they were there for, maybe, several thousand years, but 80 million years? No way! As for Noah’s children and the different races, we don’t know what racial characteristics they had to begin with, and it is always possible that their wives were of different races. (Nowhere does the Bible condemn interracial marriage, as even Bob Jones University was forced to admit.) Starting from this point, it is not hard to believe that their descendants with darker skin flourished in tropical Africa, tall people with fair skin flourished in colder Europe, and so on. Evolution would require me to believe in all sorts of missing links and near-eternal time frames; believing in a creator God, observing the world around me and concluding that life on earth is a few thousand years old takes far less faith, which is good, because my faith is weak, anyway.
